Let me just start by saying that as college students, we all know that there are many pieces of clothing that are common on campus. You can't walk a step without spying at least one of these articles of clothing. Whether it be the frat guy accounting major who you spy sitting on the bench or the education major with the skinny jeans and cardigan, it's pretty hard to miss.

1. Sorority shirts

This is the typical sorority girl. She is obsessed with her sisters and is the girl who will use any excuse to talk about her big/little. She doesn't go one day without wearing any letters/sorority gear. She doesn't own anything else in her wardrobe that's not sorority-related. She gives rude glares to anyone else who represents a different pair of sorority letters. Most likely, her name is Jessica.

2. Skinny jeans with a cardigan

You will never see an education major without some sort of jeans and a cardigan on. As future teachers, they must always dress nice, so they might as well start preparing now. They always have a cup of coffee held carefully in their hand so they won't spill any on their brand new jeans or tote bag. You can most likely find them in the library until 2 AM with six extra cups of coffee while they scramble to write a lesson plan.

3. Vineyard Vines pocket shirt

This is Chad. He is an accounting major who also belongs to a fraternity. His daily outfits consist of Vineyard Vines pocket tees and white cargo shorts. You can find him walking to class wearing earbuds, as well as him holding a cup of coffee. On the weekends, you can find him out at the houses shotgunning his beer.

4. XL t-Shirt and Nike/Lululemon shorts

These people are most likely sorority girls who basically live on T-shirts and shorts. You can find them sitting outside with their sunglasses on at the local coffee shop in the afternoon, an iced coffee, and bagel to their side.

5. Birks

Whether they're real or not, Birks are basically worn by the majority of girls on campus. No matter the weather, these are the shoes of choice. Cold? Wear them with socks. Hot? Wear them alone. Snow? Wear them with snow boots. Cold feet at night? Wear them to bed.

6. Athletic tank top with leggings

These are the girls who basically believe that their workouts are more important than academics. You will never see them in nice clothing. They sit in the row in front of you munching on carrots in class, and they drink fruit-infused water out of their Blender Bottle. They never wear their hair down and they constantly smell like sweat.

7. Tie shirts

These are the girls who start chugging as soon as it hits 4:00 PM on a Thursday. They can't be caught dead watching Netflix and eating pizza at home on a Friday night. After all, they do have a reputation to keep.

They tell themselves that they need to stop spending money, but they find themselves at the bars every weekend blowing away that dough. They are always the first ones to get drunk. Also, a majority of their Instagram pictures are either at house parties or the bars.

8. College sweaters that represent another college

These are the individuals who CLEARLY want to transfer, but no one knows why they're still here. Their dorm/apartment/house is decked out in gear that is different from where they currently go to school. We get it, you think that your fave school is superior to this one.

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.

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.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
