1. You can share any aspect of your life with them.

No matter if you’re telling them about a boy you like or about drama outside of your room, you know you can always count on one another to keep secrets safe.

2. Your closet becomes their closet, and vice versa.

Going out and need an outfit but don’t like your clothes? Their clothes are always there for you to borrow.

3. You slowly start doing everything together.

Because being in the room with each other 24/7 isn’t really enough, you start eating meals together and take the same classes just so you have an extra friend in the class.

4. You start reading each other's minds.

It’s 2 AM and you both just got home from a night out. Since you know each other so well, instead of going to sleep, you order food because it isn’t a night out until you order pizza.

5. You tag each other in at least three Instagram memes per day.

What else is there to do when you’re bored in class with no friends to talk to?

6. You tell each other about your day as you’re falling asleep.

If you guys don’t talk about your day and laugh about how you slipped on ice earlier that day, are you guys really that great of friends?

7. You occasionally go out together even though you have different groups of friends.

Because you would probably start fighting if you spent each weekend out together, you reserve going out with each other for a few times a month.

8. You can go a whole break without seeing each other and come back as if it’s like you both never left.

Even though you live far from each other at home, your roomie is one of those people whom you can go a while without seeing, but reunite and pick up conversation where it left off.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
