1. The drink you want is usually not what comes out of the fountain.

Every time I'm craving some fruit punch, I get iced tea instead. But when it is fruit punch, I can't help but cheers to a good day.

2. Two words: Microwavable meals

Welcome to college. Our specials on the menu today include mac and cheese, ramen noodle soup, and hot pockets. For dessert, cake in a cup.

3. Netflix binges

There's no better way to end a long day of classes than watching five episodes of your favorite Netflix show.

4. The struggle and stress of sharing a bathroom

You're lucky if you haven't had to deal with the awkwardness of your suite mate walking in on you in the bathroom...

5. Lots of walking

Once you get done with the semester, you'll probably noticed what stellar calves you have from all the strolling around you do on campus.

6. Dreaming about having money

If you could describe a college student in one word, it would probably be broke. But that doesn't mean we can't day dream about getting that Friday paycheck to spend. Holla for a dollar!

7. Laundry

Ah, there's nothing better than laundry day. *Cue sarcasm*

8. Traditions

Whether it's the cheers in the football stands, the campus legends, or the haunted study halls, every college has their own unique traditions that you are bound to learn and love.

9. More (or less) sleep

It depends on your schedule, but college kids most likely get a lot more rest than they did during high school. Yet, some students lose a significant amount of sleep due to the nightly homework grind.

10. Meeting so many unique individuals

One of the greatest things about college is it vociferates diversity. You have the opportunity to get to know so many people from all over the country and the world. So take advantage!

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.

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."

"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!
