8 Perks of Being a Sophomore

From what I've heard, sophomore year rocks. You're no longer a clueless freshman but you're not yet a jaded junior. We'll see if my second year lives up to its legendary reputation.

1. You know where everything is.

Getting lost around campus when your class schedule changes or off-campus for tailgates is a thing of the past. You know the ins and outs of your school's layout and even have your own favorite secret spots that freshmen better not find.

2. You have a routine.

Gym, tan, laundry? Whether your routine works or involves no work at all, you've got it down pat.

3. You get to live in your sorority/fraternity house.

Even if you're not living in your house or didn't go Greek, the living situation for sophomore year is most likely sweet and definitely better than the dirty freshman year dorm room your crappy priority number got you.

4. You have a crew.

Whether it's your roommates, suite mates, hall mates, frat guys or srat friends, you now you have a go-to group for pregames, outfit help, brunch and everything else in between.

5. You know how to study.

Er, kinda study. Since college classes and high school classes are totally different, it may have taken you a few classes, exams and maybe even some bad grades to figure out that wine and working on a paper don't mix well (for the most part).

6. You know what not to do.

Speaks for itself. Freshman year faux pas are things of the past.

7. You get to have a little.

As a big, you not only get to add to your fam, but you get to be a mentor and older figure to probably the only cool freshman you'll know.

8. It's one of the best years of the "best years" of your life.

It's the peak of the peak. The cherry on top of an already amazing ice cream sundae. So enjoy every second.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

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.

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.
