Being home from college is great but it does take a lot of getting used to. You go from having all of the freedom in the world to telling your parents every move you make and sometimes this can be a tough transition. Chores, working, not having to wake up for an 8am class, and even not having home work to do all takes some getting used to.

Going so long with out seeing a dog and being unsure of how to react when you finally see one again.

Dogs are mans best friend but being in college and not seeing one for a couple of months may make you unsure of how to react. But trust me this feeling will soon fade and you will attack a dog with love and all you'll want to do is pet all of the dogs you see.

Asking your parents to please let you go out with your friends knowing that you have work tomorrow.

Asking your parents to do things after going so long without needing permission can seem like a big pain in the butt. In the end they just want to know where you are in case something bad happens or if they need to contact you.

When you get your first paycheck from work knowing how broke college has made you.

Even if it was just a $100 paycheck you are still excited because your bank account is finally in the triple digits again.

Deciding what food you should order when your hanging out with your friends and realize you have a total of $20 to spend.

Pizza is inexpensive and delicious, so there is never any fighting when someone asks if we should order pizza.

When your mom wakes you up to give you a list of chores that you need to do by a certain time.

Chores are already one of the worst things to do, but its even worse when your parents wake you up just so you can do them.

Realizing that its almost the new year and you want to look good in your NYE outfit.

Diets are a good thing although losing weight and eating right is one of the hardest things to do unless you have motivation and a good support system.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
