9 Things All Best Friends Will Experience This Summer
Alyssa Tite

Summer is almost in full blast, and I owe all of my memories so far to my best friend. Calling her my partner in crime wouldn't do our relationship justice. We're a package deal. Most of the things on this list have already been accomplished in the few short weeks that summer has offered so far, but you and your best friend will complete this list unconsciously throughout the summer.

1. Sharing bad food choices

"What do you want for dinner?" "Let's get Taco Bell." If you and your best friend don't make poor food choices together, you need to reevaluate your friendship. Calories are the foundation for a good friendship.

2. Making questionable decisions

It truly isn't summer if you aren't in some sketchy situations along the way. Bad decisions build character, and when they're made together, they build friendships. When you have someone to make bad decisions with, you have someone to stand right next to you when people try to judge you.

3. Staying up way too late

God bless those who have summer jobs and stay up all night being hooligans with their friends. Once 3 a.m. hits, we usually know that it's time for bed, but sometimes you just want to keep going. There's nothing more wonderful than watching the sun rise with your best friend, am I right?

4. Spending money on nonsense

Spontaneous piercings, tattoos and shopping trips lead to empty bank accounts. Not to mention those nights where you feel fancy and buy the most expensive drinks available. Sometimes you just have to splurge with a little support from your right-hand person.

5. Listening to songs on repeat

Every friendship is branded with a song that the two of you absolutely love, but by the end of the summer you and your bestie will have an entire playlist that tells the story of your summer.

6. Boys boys boys

We're past breakup season, and we're making our way into the dreaded hookup season. You or your best friend will be affected by a boy at least once this summer. Brace yourselves, because there are going to be a lot of screenshots.

7. Unintentional sleepovers

Whether you like it or not, there are going to be nights where you and your best friend have nothing better to do than to snuggle up in bed and watch "The Sandlot" on Netflix. It's OK to live like a kid every once in awhile.

8. The most boring nights... ever

Most summer nights are pretty exciting (my generation would be quick to say that most summer nights are pretty lit). But in all reality, there are going to be those nights where you're ready to party and no one else is. You and your best friend will make the most of this night, whether that means drinking alone or forcing your friends to hang out with you.

9. The most exciting nights... ever

There will be those nights that trump every single night that you've ever had. You will go out with your best friend and have the absolute time of your lives. These will be the nights that you will never forget (or never remember, depending on how fun your night is).

Summer is all about making memories, and as great as it is to make memories for yourself, it's a hell of a lot more fun making memories with your best friend. So close this article, text your best friend and make some freaking plans! It's summer!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
