10 Signs You Have Found Your Best Friend In College

Alexis Day

1. Nothing is off limits.

You and your best friend take “you can talk to me about anything” to a whole new level.

2. They are honest with you, no matter how hard it is.

They will tell you the truth about how they feel about a subject even if they know you aren’t going to agree.

3. They drag you to events you didn't know you wanted to go to, but you end up having a ball.

I never thought I would be going to the gym every day, but she makes it fun.

4. The inside jokes are plentiful.

You know what I’m talking about. That one word that they can say to you to instantly make you laugh so hard that you spit take. Yeah, those jokes.

5. You can open up to them and know they won’t judge you.

They know your secrets and your past and still love you anyway.

6. They are there for you, always.

It doesn’t matter if it is 3 in the morning or if it is during class, they are there for you when you need them.

7. Your family is their family.

Your mom becomes their mom and they are basically adopted into your family.

8. They can make you smile when you feel like your life is falling apart.

Enough said.

9. You know that you would do anything for them.

Within reason…but you definitely push me out of my comfort zone.

10. You don’t thank them nearly enough.

To my best friend, I hope you know that I will always be there and always care about you. You are the person I know I can go to for anything. Thank you for all you do for me.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Photo by JESHOOTS.COM on Unsplash

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.

To The Girls With "Daddy Issues," You Are Worthy Of The Love He Never Gave You

You are not alone.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Why Blair Waldorf Is The Realest Bitch To Ever Live

XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Michigan State University

"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

Awkward Icarly GIFfrom Awkward GIFs

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
