How Much Do My Friends Mean To Me?
Amy Breitbach

It has only been about a month and a week since I was at school with all of my friends. Put that into perspective; just a little over one month. I've done all of the math and have calculated that I have put OVER 1000 MILES on my car just by traveling all over the great state of Illinois to see all of my friends in the course of that month.

My car can hold about 20 gallons in its tank and can get about 32 miles per gallon. So it can travel about 650 miles on a full tank. Today, the average gas price in the state of Illinois is about $2.325 per gallon and so in order to fill my tank it costs about $46.50. Multiply that 46.50 by 2 and you end up with $93. What I'm trying to get at here is that so far the total expenses to see my friends as much as I have costs nearly $100. And, quite frankly, I HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN THEM THAT MUCH!

Typically, I feel like any normal person would just say screw it and wait until the school year to see their friends again. Lol not me. And to be totally honest, every penny has been worth it because the time I have spent with my friends this summer was time well spent and I wouldn't trade it for anything else. So to my friends, if you guys are reading this, I love you all and you each owe me about $25.

My friends mean the world to me, am I crazy..?

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.

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!
