How You Know When Your Friends Are Family

There is a distinct difference between friends and best friends, but after a while best friends turn into more. Once you have been through hell and back, or just survived the torrent of high school drama together, you're more than best friends. Here are a few signs that your best friends are actually your siblings.

You walk into their houses instead of knocking

You know the code to their garage

They always defend you even when you're wrong

But they won't let you forget that you were wrong

You not only borrow their clothes, but also their mom's

Or their dad posts pictures of you on facebook with the caption "my daughters"

They drive insane distances for you, like visiting your college

Sharing the same bed is a given

Cuddling is also never unexpected

You have more bad pictures of them than good ones

You absolutely berate each other on social media, in person, and through text

They know how to make you laugh in seconds

And know when to let you cry and when to tell you to stop moping

Your conversations are filled with memes and facebook links

Their food is your food to nibble on

When you're over their house you don't feel weird asking for food

You probably just grab a snack from the cabinets without asking too

You. Share. EVERYTHING. Lipstick, clothes, shoes, phone chargers, jewelry.

Your favorite nights are ones filled with heaps of Chinese food and awful Netflix flicks.

Of course you also watch the same shows together

They'll let you know when you look awful, and know exactly what you should change into

A majority of the stories you tell have them in it

The "are you looking cute or dead?" text is answered with dead 90% of the time thankfully

They go completely out of their way to help and support you whenever they can

They're your #1 fan through it all

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
