Binge Watching Netflix

Let's face it, we've all done it. While having tests and assignments piling on one another, we soon find ourselves on Netflix. Maybe watching Orange is the New Black on a weeknight isn't one of the best ideas.

Having my Dorm a Mess

Sometimes, i feel like I'm driving my roommate crazy with dirty clothes and dishes here and there. Unfortunately, it takes me a bit longer to realize that I need to clean, and even longer to actually do it.

Spending Money on Things I Don't Need

I'm the type of person that would go into Target planning to spend $5, but come out spending $50. And maybe I can have another meal at the caf rather than eating out...

Overpacking

When packing up to leave for college, I'll look at a cute jacket in my closet I haven't worn in 3 years, promise myself I'd wear it more often and put it in the suitcase. But at the end of the year, I'll find it in the back of my closet realizing I haven't worn it once throughout the whole school year.

Eating Unhealthy Food

Sure, a treat here and there is okay, but having your meal mostly consisting of ice cream and cookies? Probably not the best idea. And believe me, I am guilty of this. On multiple occasions.

Saying Yes Too Much

I feel like this would be the hardest habit to break. When I have too much homework to do, and too many tests to study for, I shouldn't say yes when my boss asks me to work that night, or if my friends want to hang out. Because then in the morning I find myself having a mental breakdown. I'll just have to remind myself that school comes first, and hope for the best.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
