First, you'll be cautious about which secrets you tell and be careful not to be too annoying. But eventually the dam will break. During a late night Sonic or Walmart run you will show your crazy side. Thankfully, all your friends are crazy too. This is when you know your college friends have become family. Here are some signs to look out for.

1. There's a specific moment when everyone knew.

2. Your room is their room.

3. Sometimes they don't understand, but they still love you.

9. They are "your people."

10. Can you say co-conspirators?

You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read."
