What Life Is Like When You Live With Your Best Friends (As Told By Scrubs And Friends)

Even though I have next to no time for social activities or relaxation, I try to make it a point to do something enjoyable for at least fifteen minutes a night. Sometimes I fall asleep reading a book that isn't required for class, sometimes I have more time and end up in front of Netflix. My roommates and I congregate in the living room, often armed with bottles of nail polish, and we watch TV together. Our current favorites are Friends and Scrubs. I think we're drawn to these shows because they really exhibit what life is like when you have best friends at work, school, and home. So, in an homage to the two favorite TV shows of the ladies in apartment 8, here is what life is like when you're constantly with your best friends, as told by Friends and Scrubs.

1. You are always together. Always.

My three best friends and I live together, we're on the same school team, and we've even had jobs in the same location. It's a lot of togetherness, and sometimes we feel like a giant, four headed person.

2. There are no secrets in this apartment.

We know everything. Mostly because we all talk to each other about various aspects of life. Also because we stalk each other on Twitter from the bathroom. It's normal

3. When we're all awake at 3 a.m., coherent thoughts don't exist.

"How did we get on this topic? I distinctly remember talking about goats before this conversation started."

4. You have a great support system through the good and the bad.

Failed a test? Hug it out. Just got engaged? I'll open some wine! Dropped your pizza on the floor? I'll cry with you.

5. They're often comfortable with your significant other.

Maybe it's a little awkward at first, but before too long they end up feeling like they're part of your living arrangement too.

6. Too much togetherness exists...

7. ... but you quickly get over it because you miss your best friends.

8. And honestly, you may have even moved past being best friends

9. Nothing is left to the imagination anymore.

Yeah, privacy doesn't really exist. That's pretty much college.

10. Despite the good and the bad, there's nothing but love for each other.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
