There Are Two Sides Of Every Broken Friendship, But One Path Forward To Fix It
Zoey Leonard

Starting at being the girl next door, to unintentional matching puck sluts for Halloween, to half year roommates, you quickly became my best friend. Sh*t hit the fan quick. We both went our separate ways with some bitter feelings.

A best friend and lifelong friend are hard to come by. When you find that person, hold on to them near and dear because I lost mine... or at least I thought.

A few months ago, even weeks ago, if you asked me "do you think you guys will be friends again" my answer, quite honestly probably would have been a solid no. Yet, we moved into dorm rooms... which ended up being next to each other (even after we requested not to be roommates anymore? Thanks, Res Life!) I guess they knew something that we didn't know.

It was a bit awkward at first, especially seeing your parents, but none-the-less I said hello and smiled. Thank god I did, because I missed you.

Best friends/lifelong friends go through a lot. I believe think that these last few months were a test of our type of friendship... I couldn't be more excited to know that we are life-long friends.

Thank you for loving me.. while hating me... especially throughout my long rough patch. Thank you for always being transparent with me and being straight up. I know I could not see it at the time but you really always have my back and I could not be more grateful.

Its comforting to know we are starting where we started last year... next door neighbors. I could not be more thankful towards Res Life for messing up our request!

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.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

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!
