From Squad To Family

They've taught me so much about myself.

From Squad To Family
Linnea Glas

I’ve always had a hard time making friends, well, making friends that I want to keep. Usually, we’re friends for a while and then sometimes happens and we aren’t chilling anymore. I had a minor squad back at the end of high school, however, I was a senior at the time and heading off to college so I didn’t get to be with them for that long. It wasn’t until my second year at college, I really found my squad, a group of students that just being around them made any bad day turn to a good day. They were as they like to call their selves, a super animation squad and man are they super. Now they don’t know just how much of an impacted that they’ve had on my life, due to their art, jokes and really bad meme jokes.

I've never seen a group of people more willing to help others or learn about other cultures or just to goof off, fun trips to Applebee's and make a BA Christmas album. They've taught me so much about myself and I know they've earned from each other. It always takes me a long time to call a group of people my friends, even longer to call them my squad, but rarely do I call people my family, and that's what they are to me. The college family that I know will always be there for me. With ever dab, pun, crazy theory or really bad joke, you won't find another cooler group of dudes anywhere else. They fly free on the wings of unicorns and will never stop being 10000% times cooler than anyone you can think of or have a picture of on your camera roll. They are my new family and I always will go to the end of the world for my families.

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.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

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.

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!
