9 Reasons Why I Love Attending The Same College As My Best Friends
Téa Hayes

Somehow I got super lucky with choosing the same school as my best friends. All of us have been close friends for 8+ years and being able to spend the best years of our lives together is a special thing to share.

Usually people get scared about going to the same college as their close friends because of the awkward conversations about whether or not you will live together, or just simply being around each other too much. To be quite honest, 99.9% of the time all of you will venture out and find new friends, roommates and hobbies that will keep you busy and more distant from each other than usual.

Although this seems scary, this is actually quite healthy for long-lasting friendships and will make the bond even stronger.

There are many benefits of going to the same college as your BFFs, but not everyone is lucky enough to experience this.

Most people have to say goodbye to their best friends for months at a time before they get to see them again, so if you do go to the same college as your besties, dont take it for granted.

True friendships beyond high school are so special and the fact that you get to do almost everything together without worrying about parents, bitchy girls, and unnecessary drama makes this situation that much more fun.

You are lucky enough to share the same experiences, see each other grow into mature adults, celebrate many milestones together and go to the same school that all of you have dreamed about for years. Although you may go days or weeks at a time without seeing these special friends of yours, just know that genuine friendships beyond college last for a reason and that these people will most likely be in your life forever.

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
