Coming to college is a new experience for many people. When you have to coexist with many other girls on the same floor, there are some common courtesies that need to be remembered.

1. Don't leave you hair in the shower.

As a girl with long hair, I understand that a lot falls out in the shower. Just throw it away in the garbage after. PLEASE don't stick it to the shower walls.

2. Keep your sex relatively quiet.

If you are having excellent sex, good for you! But nobody else really cares how good your boyfriend is. Keep your yelling to a minimum.

3. Wash your toothpaste down the sink.

Nobody wants to wash their hands in a sink with dried toothpaste caked around the drain.

4. If you want to be extremely loud with friends, get out of the hallway.

I am all for a good time, but if you are yelling down the hallway I'll get salty.

5. Don't write ignorant things on other people's white boards.

Most girls put white boards up on their door to get messages from their friends. If you make a joke to a friend, that's different than writing something rude on someone's board you don't like.

6. Don't leave your clothes in the washer or dryer for a long time after their done.

I have clothes that I would like to wash and if you are incapable of taking your clothing out when they are done, I will not feel bad setting them on the top of the wash machine.

7. Flush all your toilet paper down the toilet.

Yes, even if that means flushing twice.

8. On the other hand, throw all of your *lady products* in the garbage.

I've got enough of my own problems without having to deal with your mess.

9. Leave your door open when possible.

This will help other people get to know you by simply stopping by to see a friendly face!

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

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."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!
