College is quite the experience and simplifying it to just that one word is an understatement.

So to try and explain it as best as possible, here is college as described by Christmas Vacation because let's face it, we can all relate to Clark W. Griswold Jr.

When you look over pictures from your relatives and friends carrying on back at home and get nostalgic.

When you finally get an A on a test that you studied for hours for.

When you notice one of your friends at a party.

Saying goodbye to your classes at the end of the fall semester.

When your life is falling apart but you have to make the best of the situation.

Going out to eat and them remembering all the stuff you have to get done.

Netflix calling your name when you know you should be doing homework.

Eating the "chicken" at the cafeteria.

When that one guy tries to go in for the kiss at a party.

When you're working on a really difficult group project and it finally clicks.

Writing out a to-do list

Looking at your grades for the first time in months.

Seeing your friend do something stupid at a party.

Having to explain yourself after a night out to your roommate.

Because this was you the night before.

When your professor gives you a particularly difficult test problem.

Trying to make it to class when you're running late.

When a relative asks how college is going.

Running into your crush and forgetting how to communicate.

Opening your closet after you haven't cleaned in a week.

Trying to convince your friend to get rid of that boi.

Checking your bank account and thinking you have $250 but really you have $2.04.

When people decided to dress up as clowns and terrorize students on college campuses.

Getting done with one paper and feeling good and then getting hit with another one.

Leaving the library after a twelve hour cram sesh for finals.

and finally...

Cleaning out your backpack at the end of a very long yet fun semester.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. 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.
