5 Types Of Friends You Should Have In College That Will Be There Through The Thick And Thin
Cassie Nichols

You will meet many people in college, but there are some who will always be there through the thick and thin. These are those people.

1. The Honest One

This is the friend who will always tell you how it is. Whether you are asking them about an outfit, a boy, or trying to make a life decision, they are not going to sugarcoat the truth. Sometimes their opinion might sound harsh, but you know it is out of love. They might even know you better than you know yourself at times.

2. The Social Butterfly

This friend is always down to have a good time. They seek adventure and push you to your limits (sometimes a little too much). You know they will always be willing to go out with you at any given moment and they are a good go-to gal when you've had a bad week. Bring on the weekend!

3. The Comic Relief

When you need to laugh, don't look any further. This is the girl who will make the whole room laugh without meaning to. Maybe she's a bit clumsy and her lack of coordination is what does it. Or maybe she just thinks of the most random, sarcastic comments that normal people would not be able to think of on the top of their head. All that is needed to be said about this friend is "LOL."

4. The Parental Figure

Ah yes! The friend who is like our "mom" away from home. We all have one. This friend is the one who will always carry around a bunch of random stuff "just in case." You always go to her for advice in the time of a crisis. Remember that time you went a little too hard on the weekend? This is the friend who gave you a helping hand.

5. The Loyalist

AKA the Day 1. The BFF. The twin. Whatever you want to call her she has been around for as long as you can remember. You two tell each other everything. She has seen you at your worst and still loves you. This friend is irreplaceable. Don't take her for granted.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
