Ten Things You Know When You've Found Your College Posse

Because there are some friends that you know you'll have for life.

Ten Things You Know When You've Found Your College Posse
Katie Madigan

1. You will spend literally every weekend together.

Whether it be Walmart runs, mall trips, or just generally hanging out, you're always together. Even if you're just having a lazy day, they won't let you be lazy alone. You know that they're true friends when you can sit in near silence for long periods of time without it getting strained or awkward.

2. You eat at least six meals a week together.

At minimum. Since finding your pals, you rarely eat alone. Even if it's just something quick or literally going through the drive through at Taco Bell, you've always got at least one friend by your side. In my personal case, my friends and I pick one night a week where one of us cooks a real meal for the rest. We call it our "family" dinner night. Honestly, it's my favorite part of every week.

3. You have each other's class schedules memorized and therefore know the best time to get in touch with each other.

While during class, your phone (which you definitely don't have hidden under your desk during a lecture) probably stays relatively quiet. And the moment you pack up your things, your phone starts buzzing and beeping like there's no tomorrow, filling you in on the latest gossip, lunch plans, and Harambe memes.

4. Every weekend you have at least one movie night.

Whether it be an old Disney classic, a heartfelt romantic comedy, or an amazingly cheesy horror flick, you guys have got the popcorn flowing. In most cases, you may not even be really watching. More that you're making your own commentary and singing along to all the musical numbers. It's also the most fun thing you'll do all week.

5. You borrow each other's clothes as if you were siblings.

Chances are, you have the same body type as a few of your besties and therefore you practically share a closet. Any night before going out involves the raiding of each other's clothes that can put any movie fashion montage to shame.

6. You can't seem to stop laughing whenever you're together.

You probably already know this, but your group just "gets" you. This means that you have a very similar sense of humor. Even though you've probably told and heard all the stories and jokes more times than you can count, you find yourself laughing just as hard as the first time.

7. You're binging several TV shows together.

"Game of Thrones," specifically, is an integral part of your friendship.

8. You have as much fun having a game night as you do at a party.

You don't need anything flashy or super exciting to have a good time together. Whether you're out on the town or just chilling in your apartment, there's always hilarity and adventure.

9. They know exactly when to say when you're having a crisis and vice versa.

It could be something as trivial as whether or not you should respond to a text from an ex flame or something more serious like struggles on the home front. Whatever it is, they'll help talk you through whatever has got you down or stressed out.

10. You have each other's back no matter what.

This one goes without saying, but you've got some pretty awesome pals and they won't steer you wrong. They love you just as much as you love them and it shows. These are the people that make college the best it can be. Come hell or high water, you've got friends for life.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
