Long Distance Friendship As Told By The Office

Tumblr

They say you make some of your best friends in college, but what about the friends you made in K-12? For a number of us, those friendships are just as important, if not more so, than the ones we're making now. The friends you made back in grade school have seen you through your awkward middle school years, your (slightly less awkward) high school years, and the countless ups and downs in between. So what happens when you and your friends decide to go to different colleges? Let's let The Office answer that one.

1. When they told you which college they decided on and it wasn't the same as yours

2. When summer is over and it's time for you to go your separate ways

3. When you realize you can't just drive a few minutes to their house to see them

4. When you visit each other's college

5. When your new college friends see how you interact with each other

6. When they try to tell your new friends embarrassing stories from the past

7. When they tell you they've met somebody

8. When you see them on social media having fun with their new friends

9. When you think about how long its been since you've seen each other

10. When you realize Christmas break is around the corner and you'll have a whole month together

"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!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
