Friends help you back up when you trip, but best friends laugh at you and ask you to do it again for Snapchat. Best friends also request an article dedicated to them when they come home for fall break, so that’s exactly what I’m doing, as per your request. And hey, even though it was your request, I honestly couldn’t think of a better way to tell you guys how much I appreciate you than publishing it online.

You know those friendships where you don’t have to text every day, you don’t have to Snapchat or FaceTime every day, but whenever you hang out, it’s as if you just saw each other yesterday even though it’s really been months? That’s exactly the friendship my friends and I have.

Even when we all go in totally separate directions for school, we still act as though time never passed whenever we come back together. Conversations carry on without any struggle, we can still make each other laugh, and we reminisce about high school and all the stupid stuff we've ever said or done.

I can’t imagine complaining and annoying anyone about my problems other than you guys. Especially in college, it’s a time of constant stress and anxiety. Sometimes you just need someone to give you advice, or you just need someone to roast you.

You are constant supporters and remind me to laugh at myself when I’m feeling down. And I'd do the same for you guys in a heartbeat. Need advice? I'm here for you.

Need someone to make fun of you? Odds are, I'm already on it.

Who else would I go on random adventures with? Going to the beach in rainy weather, Halloween haunted houses, NYC trips, carnivals, escape rooms, trips out to Montauk and going to Friendly’s just order sodas.

Whether we're helping Natalie by being models for her photography class homework or making Sarah drive to the long distance adventures because Natalie and I can't, we always manage to have a blast. Every hangout, whether spontaneous or not, is never a dull moment. And we never seem to run out of things to do or talk about. You guys are my go-to people whenever I’m looking for an adventure or just a simple hangout.

I can always count on you guys for giving me honest advice, for the greatest laughs, and for always being there. A lot of people drift away from their high school friends once college starts, but I couldn’t be any more thankful that you two have stuck by me through it all since second grade. I couldn't imagine going through my college experience without you guys, so I truly thank you both.

Here's to many more years of you guys being stuck with me!

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
