10 Messages Sent In Your "Home Friend" Group Chat When You're All Away At College

Going to college without your friends from home can be really tough. But, living in the digital age has made that so much easier. Here are ten things you say to your besties at other schools!

1. "Okay but that girl that you just posted with, she's not replacing us right? Like she's just temporary?"

When you see that your best friends have found new companions to laugh with and take stupid Snapchats of, obviously it sends a small plunge through your heart. But, of course, you have to be happy for them because as their friend, you still have to be supportive of the fact that they're not sulking inside their dorm room for the next four years.

2. "Wait, I need to send you guys screenshot. "

Since they're not there to witness everything in person, you need to keep them updated.

**Patiently waiting for your friends' reactions to what they think will meet your expectations for how they should respond to something that really doesn't affect them in any way whatsoever. But since they're your friends, they'll act just as outraged as you are.**

3. "I'm looking through my videos from summer and I'm crying."

This speaks for itself. When your best friends go to schools that are spread across the country (or the world if you have a friend that went abroad), the chances of visiting each other during the year are slim to none. So, you often resort to watching videos from Thanksgiving break, winter break, and summer to remind you of just how dope your friend group is.

4. "I'm in a pissy mood right now and I really need someone to call me on my walk back from class, thanks."

Yeah, I'm that girl who Facetimes her friends walking to and from class without headphones on. And yes, I have used up all of my data doing so.

5. "Wait haha did you see what ________ posted?"

What's a group chat if you're not being petty about the people you all collectively disliked back in high school? It just gets a whole lot harder when you go to college and you can no longer keep tabs on the people your friends have issues with.

6. "Anyone up?"

It's a tough time when your roommate is asleep and it's 3 AM and all you want to do is have a deep talk about life with someone. That's when you send a message in the home group chat, and since you are all in different time zones, the odds of someone responding are high. Bonus points if multiple people are awake and you all flood the group chat with early morning nonsense and thoughts from teenage insomniacs.

7. "I'm having a full-blown mental breakdown and someone needs to respond right now before I make a scene."

Sometimes when you're away at college all you need is your home friends to explain to you that you are a completely irrational human being who needs to take a chill pill. Or is that one just me?

8. "HAHA I'M DEAD."

When there's some funny sh*t going on in the group chat but your friends aren't there in person to witness just how much your actually "loling" and the "HA HA" reaction is not enough so you just have to let them know that you're deceased.

9. "I MISS YOU GUYSSSS"

This one also speaks for itself. They're your best friends, so you miss them. But you can't physically be with them because for some reason college exists and it's meant to tear apart friend groups and force them to survive as individuals from miles away, dispersed throughout the country.

10. "Countdown for when we reunite starts now"

When it's all said and done, it's probably for the better that you're going out there and gaining some independence at college. It genuinely sucks that this has to be done at the cost of only communicating with your friend group by virtual means, but that's what makes the times when you are all back home and in the same place again, that much more special.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
