They’re willing to get food with you at anytime of day.

They share the same love for food as you do and if you’re as lucky as me, you might even have a roommate who gets the same thing from your favorite restaurant as you and is willing to split it. There is nothing like bonding with your best friends while enjoying some good food.
They’ll motivate you to go to the gym.
Photo by bruce mars on UnsplashMy alarm to go to the gym goes off at 10 a.m. and I normally roll over and snooze it. However, my college friends will text me telling me to get out of bed because we’re going to the gym whether I want to or not. I love having friends to workout with and motivate me with their workout routines. It’s also an added bonus that I have friends to get lunch with afterwards.
They’ll have deep talks with you late at night.
I know if I call one of my friends crying in the middle of the night, they’ll be at my room in 30 seconds without me even saying anything. If I’m ever not sure what decision to make, they talk me through it and lead me to make the right choice. Whether it’s a senseless conversation about how many dogs you want when you have your own place or a serious life discussion, your college friends are always going to be willing to talk.
They're your study buddies
Photo by Alexis Brown on UnsplashThey understand how important your grades are to you and they share the same interest of doing well in school. They're always down for a trip to the library (and are willing to stop for coffee beforehand for those late night study sessions). They always motivate you to study hard so you can go out on the weekend.
Their closet is your closet.
Do you ever look at your closet and think that you have absolutely nothing to wear? (Even though there is a full closet of cute clothes right in front of your eyes). One of the many perks of your college friends is having a new closet to browse through. You now have cute outfits to borrow and your friends can also borrow your clothes that you’re tired of wearing.
They’re your support system.
Photo by Melissa Askew on UnsplashWhether something really good happens or something really horrible happens, your college friends are the first people you want to talk to. When something good happens, they’re the people who want to congratulate you. When something bad happens, they know all the right things to say to cheer you up (in most cases it involves a trip to the dining hall to get some cookie dough ice cream).
They’re your second family.
You spend every waking minute with these people; you’re bound to become close like family. I’m thankful for my college friends for caring for me and supporting me like my own family does. The memories I share with these people are unforgettable. My college experience would not be the same without these friends in my life.
I could not be more grateful for the friends I’ve made at school. They make the bad days easier, and the good days even better. I am so lucky to have met such great people to share my college experience with. My life wouldn’t be the same without them.

"If you give a mouse a cookie, he's going to ask for a glass of milk.
When you give him the milk, he'll probably ask you for a straw.
When he's finished, he'll ask you for a napkin.
Then he'll want to look in a mirror to make sure he doesn't have a milk mustache.
When he looks in the mirror, he might notice his hair needs a trim.
So he'll probably ask for a pair of nail scissors.
When he's finished giving himself a trim, he'll want a broom to sweep it up.
He'll start sweeping.
He might get carried away and sweep every room in the house.
He may even end up washing the floors as well!
When he's done, he'll probably want to take a nap.
You'll have to fix up a little box for him with a blanket and a pillow.
He'll crawl in, make himself comfortable and fluff the pillow a few times.
He'll probably ask you to read him a story.
So you'll read to him from one of your books, and he'll ask to see the pictures.
When he looks at the pictures, he'll get so excited he'll want to sign his name with a pen.
Then he'll want to hang his picture on your refrigerator.
Which means he'll need Scotch tape.
He'll hang up his drawing and stand back to look at it.
Looking at the refrigerator will remind him that he's thirsty.
So... he'll ask for a glass of milk.
And chances are if he asks you for a glass of milk, he's going to want a cookie to go with it."

When we were very young, there was a time when this book entertained and made us laugh; we did not think anything else of it. However, this short story offers a life-long lesson: Do not set yourself on fire to keep others warm.
Looking back on things, there have been so many times where people just wanted to take advantage of me. For instance, as I was going through high school I was fairly smart/nerdy and athletic (which is not a common mixture). If someone needed help with school work they would often come to me. I would help them and most of the time they would not even try to help themselves. I was giving them a cookie and they were just coming back for milk.

This happens to be the case at college during finals week as well. Those people that never come to the library start going and ask anyone and everyone for help. Of course, some people just need help here and there, but when you wait the entire semester to start asking for help its your own fault.
Like I said, I'm all for helping someone, but when it comes to not even helping yourself that's a problem.
To sum things up, if you give somebody an inch, they're going to take a mile; it's human nature.
