9 Reasons I Love My College Best Friends

1. They're so close all the time.

Everybody is within a short distance of each other. It makes it so much easier to get together and do things when they are only a flight of stairs away, or a building over.

2. Cars

You can find at least one friend who would be kind enough to drive you places. This past week, I was lucky to have friends to get me to and from the doctors twice. It’s more important than many people would think and I am so thankful for my friends.

3. Eating together

Every meal I can wrangle up someone to go with me. Whether it's having a set time after classes, or just on a whim texting “Hey do you want to go to Stucchi’s?

4. Classes together

It always makes the day go by faster when you have a friend in class with you. The looks you give each other during class that make class more entertaining. Plus you get a study buddy.

5. Fashion advice

Living on campus with a bunch of girls, you can find someone to give you fashion advice. Even if your roommate isn't the best with fashion, there are plenty of other friends to go to, to make sure that your outfit is perfect

6. Help you be less stressed

There is always someone available that can take you away from the pressures of real life to watch a movie, give a pep talk, or even just give hugs

7. Make sure you don’t do something stupid

Whether it’s staying away from certain people, or not eating food that's bad for you, friends are there to tell you no.

8. Experiencing new things

Friends are also there to help you try new things. Go to parties you never thought you would go to, or talk to different people. Join a club, or take a new class. They push you to be your best while getting a great experience and having a friend by your side.

9. Be there when you need them

No matter what I have people who would drop everything to help me in a time of need. To put off homework to give me a pep talk, or watch movies with me while I lay on their floor in a ball. To eat cookie dough and forget homework. It’s a constant support system that helps me get through the year.

One of the most important parts of college is the friendships you make. These friends will stay with me forever and I'm incredibly lucky to have them. Be sure to cherish your friends, and say thank you once in a while because friendships help the year be better.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

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.
