The Little Things

This is what a real friendship consists of.

The Little Things
We Heart It

When I was younger, I use to think friendship was sleepovers and play dates. That it was whoever's house was hosting the best birthday parties or the girl who let you borrow her new Justin Bieber CD. That friendship was a phase or a connivence. Now I know it is so much more beyond letting someone borrow your crayons in class or saving them a spot in line at lunch time.

Friendship is three in the morning talks about what happened the day before and why the hell you're still awake.

Friendship is three in the afternoon laughing so hard you're on the floor at a corny joke for the third time that day.

Friendship is being able to talk nonsense and have that nonsense be completely respected.

Friendship is when your car is in the shop and they offer to drive you around.

Friendship is when you've had your heart broken and they let you sleep at their place until you feel whole again.

Friendship is spitting that large pizza you both don't need.

Friendship is when you look at each other and know exactly what each other are thinking.

Friendship is knowing that your closet is now open publicly to your friends and vice versa.

Friendship is running boring errands together so you don't have to do them alone.

Friendship is them knowing that you don't like pickles on your sandwich.

Friendship is rooting you on when you can't even root for yourself.

Friendship is sitting there eating in silence because you would rather eat than talk (and they would too).

Friendship is holding them accountable for their mistakes and helping them learn from the past.

Friendship is a shoulder to cry on when a Monday gets the best of you.

Friendship is being your date to any event or function you get a plus one to.

Friendship is trusting whole-heartedly that the other person has your best interest at heart.

Friendship is binge watching shows during rainy days.

Friendship is a call over a break to let them know every detail of their life you have missed.

Friendship has no limit.

Friendship has no timeline.

Friendship does not know distance.

Friendship is convincing creepy guys that you are in a relationship with each other to get them to leave you alone.

Friendship is never judging you from a decision you realize wasn't the best idea.

Friendship is the first person you call to tell good news.

Friendship is the first person you call to tell bad news.

Friendship is calling each other's parents "mom and dad".

Friendship is love in the strangest ways when all else is lost.

"Friendship isn't a big thing. It's a million little things." -- Unknown

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.

Sorority Girls
Owl Eyes Magazine

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.

RBF

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.
