How To Know The Friendship Is Real

You may think it's real, but is it memorize-your-horoscope-sign real?

How To Know The Friendship Is Real

College is great because you meet a lot of new people, and you make a lot of new friends. But the real question is how do you know when the friendship is real? These are the for-sure signs your friendship was made to last.

1. They know the names of your pets.

It's even more impressive when you have 3 or more pets for them to remember.

2. They've seen you cry.

Whether you're a crier or not, you know your college friends are real when you can sob to them laying on their living floor while they make you pasta and you feel no shame.

3. They know you're favorite song.

And they know how excited you get when you hear it out. And they know when to put it on for you to cheer you up or get you pumped. And they don't cut you off from listening to it even after they've heard 300 times already this semester.

4. They tag you in memes.

What's a friendship if it doesn't involve memes? (Bonus points if they memorize your Instagram name to tag you in memes as fast as possible).

5. They hate someone you hate without knowing them or you even asking them to.

When they trust you enough to hate someone blindly for you, that's when you know it's real.

6. They know your horoscope sign.

And you know theirs. And you send each other your horoscopes so neither of you forget.

7. They let you tell the same story over and over again.

A person can only have so many good stories, so it's important to find friends who don't mind hearing the same 12 stories for the rest of their lives.

8. They memorize what clothes you own.

9. They know your order.

For drinks, coffee, Chipotle, you name it. They know what you like.

10. They love you even when you don't love yourself.

That moment when you think, "Why do I have friends? I am the actual worst," they are there to let you know that even though you are the worst, they still love you, just like you love them no matter what too.

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.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. 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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
