1. Roommates

You live with them, so naturally you are close and do a lot of basic life things together. Your family away from your real family.

2. Going Out Friends

This is your squad, the group that people see you in and the group you take the cheesy Thursday night balcony and white-wall pictures with. You have the best stories to go with this group of crazy fun ladies.

3. Bestie from Home

You FaceTime her every chance you get and sometimes you’re even closer with her now that you are apart because you’re making that extra effort to talk. This is the friend at home most likely to visit you in college.

4. Distant Friend from Home

This one you grew up with and can basically go the whole school year without talking, but your closeness and friendship never changes.

5. Mama

Yep, your mom becomes your very best friend when you go to college. You talk everyday, share way more with her, miss her lots and talk to her way more than when you even live with her. Every time she comes to visit is a treat and the most exciting part of your month.

6. Favorite Frat Friend

This is the girl you can call up no matter what point you are at in your night and she will drop everything she is doing to go to that fraternity you are both in love with (or let’s face it, she is probably already there).

7. Sorority Event Bestie

The girl you can call who is always going to dinner or that sisterhood event your roommates will not go to with you. She will also be your biggest supporter when it comes time for you to run for a position in the winter.

8. Major Buddies

Same classes, same goals, same career path. You study with them and you always have them to gush to over your incredible summer internship.

9. Work Friends

The people you vent to about rude customers and unreasonable bosses and coworkers. No one understands you quite like them or goes through the same hard work and struggles you do with a job whether it be from home this summer or an internship you spend your free time during the school year doing.

10. The Stand-in Mom/Family

This is the girl from your hometown, but she also came to college with you. She is your tiny piece of home, your rock. She keeps you grounded, while also letting you grow into your true self instead of the person you pretended to be in high school and growing up.
