Let's Forget That We're Adults

Let's Forget That We're Adults

The greatest time of year for us adults that have left the collegiate world? HOMECOMING. If you're like me, you are impatiently waiting while the countdown days are getting smaller. Beer, tailgating, games and football?? What more could you ask for?!

It's a time to meet with your college friends, fraternity brothers, sorority sisters, and support those football players that represent what we know as the best college in the world.

It's not just seeing your friends at the tailgate, but let's talk about the college town food and bars you KNOW are awaiting your return. Now my homecoming was this past weekend, and I made sure to get the local food; El Zarape, Cookie Jar, Myles Pizza, Campus Pollyeyes, Ziggys, City Tap and Attic, Tubbys, Shots, and so much more. Special shoutout to B-G-S-U and Bowling Green Community for providing my home away from home! Also, just a side note, who else had Nick Jonas at their University as he went out to the bars after the show in 2015? Where do you think he got the college experience for the new movie GΦΑΤ?! I digressed, I just had to reminisce on that.

Overall, homecoming is a few days to forget that we have adult jobs and adult life that have to begin again on Monday, and for just a few minutes we get to step away from reality. We get to see if we still are the reigning champions of corn hole, beer pong, and flip cup. (Yes don't worry, my college roommate and I are still the reigning beer pong champs!!)

So, my advice? Have the best time of your life at your college homecoming and watch some football! Live it up before you have to go back and "adult" on Monday because this only comes once a year

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
