Okay, I'm not gonna lie. Ever since Drake put out the music video for "I'm Upset" from Scorpion, which was a reunion of him as Jimmy and his Degrassi: The Next Generation castmates (minus J.T. and Sean), I've been binge watching the show for almost four months straight. It's hard to believe, but the show first came out in Canada seventeen years ago on CTV, and made its American début on The N (now known as TeenNick) almost six months later. And after all this time, I will say that it still holds up, even though I'm not in high school anymore.

Like the characters of Degrassi, Communications students are moving towards a variety of careers in the field, such as filmmaking, journalism, marketing and society research. Although they're all in college, they still feel the same anxiety and pressure that the high-school-aged characters do, regardless of the real-life issues that come their way. Pretty much everyone looks like they have it all together, and they've got everything figured out, but trust me when I saw that almost all of us really don't. This is the life of a Communications Major, as told by "Degrassi: The Next Generation".

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
