There comes a time in every college student's life where it is time to leave the university and start the next phase of life. This change is not always easy as that university has become your home. It may even feel more like home than where you grew up. From the time you enter college until the time you leave may be the most significant change you go through in life. Tallahassee was there for me through three degrees and five and a half years. She is my home. I'm sad to leave her but know I have outgrown her. I'm excited for what life brings next.

Here's a list of everything I want to thank Tallahassee for.

Thank you Tallahassee for not being the major city I grew up in.

Thank you Tallahassee for teaching me how to spend my money wisely.

Thank you Tallahassee for giving me the best pup in the world.

Thank you Tallahassee for the drunken memories to look back on.

Thank you Tallahassee for giving me my first apartment.

Thank you Tallahassee for my education.

Thank you Tallahassee for CollegeTown.

Thank you Tallahassee for helping me find love.

Thank you Tallahassee for Friday Nigh Block Parties.

Thank you Tallahassee for the friends I didn't know I needed.

Thank you Tallahassee for giving me life skills.

Thank you Tallahassee for FSU.

Thank you Tallahassee for the memories.

"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!

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.

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.

8 Things That Make You Feel Like You Have Your Life Together

because none of us actually do have it all together

University of Vermont

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.
