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

Because the friendship dynamics of one show just aren't enough.

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

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.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
