Throughout your entire life, you create best friends for different points in your life. In middle school, it was the group of people you sat at lunch with every day and hung out at each other's houses. In high school, it was the group that ate together, hung out together, stressed about homework together, and graduated together. However, because college takes everyone on different paths, it was time to find a new group of people.

I grew up with an older sister, where I saw her small group that stuck together since college. Their plans for each other's weddings, vacation trips, and accomplishments were all sought through. They were there for each other every step of the way. I grew up with guy best friends since I was born, playing sports and being rowdy, but never really having a solid group of girlfriends. However, over the past year, I met 3 people who I trust with my life, and that is the best feeling in the world.

1. Friends Who Care

Claudine Rosca

The best part about true friends is the mutual endless amount of love and care for each other. People who would drop everything to make sure you're okay, to listen to your rant about what's annoying you, or to watch a throwback romance movie because you're bored. Whether it's crying or laughing, the ups or the downs, I am grateful to have these girls be so supportive of me and each other, where every down eventually turns into an up.

2. Friends With Adventures

From exploring new areas, to random car drives, to trying new food places, I can count on these girls to take a dull, boring day and turn it around.

3. Friends You Trust

Being away from our families is hard, and they aren't around to help you or give you advice. The girls are the ones who I trust the most to always look out for my best interest and be my family away from home.

4. Friends With Future Plans

"I better be your bridesmaid for your wedding."

We've been through so much already together, that we also want to be there for the best moments. I don't mind making those kinds of future plans with the people who support and love me.

5. Friends Who Are Irreplaceable

Claudine Rosca

You would think that living in different parts of the country has made it difficult for us to stay together. Over the past summer, I agreed with one of the girls that we talked more with each other than anyone else... and we only had FaceTime. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would meet 3 girls who are very similar to me, people to not only hear your stories but live through them. A group of beautiful, down - to - earth girls who always put everyone else before themselves, that are truly irreplaceable.

At some point, you meet a group of people (small or large), that truly shows you what it means to be like sisters. Because Thanksgiving is right around the corner, try to not only be thankful for your family, but for the people you've met along the way.

I know that I am truly am grateful to have these girls in my life,

friends

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

Dean College

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

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

University of Kentucky

pointsincase.com

"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.

The struggles of having an RBF are all too real

1. People asking if you're mad at them.

2. Those people who hand out flyers don't always try to stop you.

3. Creepy guys telling you to smile.

4. "I thought you were a bitch when I first met you."

5. People telling you you'd be "so much prettier if you smiled."

6. Doing your makeup and looking great, which somehow intensifies the bitch face.

7. Regularly explaining "it's just my face."

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

That moment that someone you never looked twice at suddenly makes you do a double take out of no where.

But you can't have a crush, that's outrageous. It's all in your head.

Because you don't have a crush, there's no reason to tell anyone about anything. Right?

But then they do something irresistible and you start to lose it.

Now accepting the fact you have a crush, you have to keep it under control.

Then there's the part where you tell your friends who will claim they called it.

They'll be excited and cheer you on. That's until they realize that your crush is all you'll be talking about.

Your obsession has become so bad, that your Facebook stalking is getting out of control.

But your friends will try and help move things along any way they can. That doesn't mean it will be any helpful though.

As time goes on, you start having fantasies about the two of you and it's starting to scare you a little.

You can't focus on anything because all your attention is on them and everything they do.

Anybody who comes near your crush is now an enemy, and you are willing to fight for your crush.

When you see them, you act like an idiot. Trying to hide your feelings may not be as discrete as you think.

Keeping your feelings inside will start to be harder and harder until you can't keep it inside anymore.

Who knows, maybe it will work out? Take a chance.

Everybody hurts sometimes.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

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

1. You feel like an elder.

2. You may feel lonely.

3. Senioritis is more real than ever.

4. You may feel a little down sometimes.

5. Fear of missing out won't be as real.

6. You are a college pro.

7. You'll have more free time.

8. You're happy you're still in school.

9. You feel like a guru.

10. You continue to grow.
