When it comes time for college, people often go their separate ways. Unfortunately, it usually involves you parting ways with your best friend for essentially nine months out of the year.

Here are just seven realities to expect when you and your best friend are separated by the thing that they call college.

1. You don't get to talk to each other all of the time, but when you do, it involves FaceTiming for at least two hours.

Should probably be studying, but it's worth it.

2. You still converse on the daily through memes, though.

No such thing as sending too many memes.

3. Any school break involves a lot of excitement.

Winter break, where are you?

4. You vent to them when the struggles of college catch up with you.

Slept through my alarm and was 15 minutes late for class, but what else is new?

5. You both exchange going out stories.

Trying to describe the craziness that was the weekend.

6. You make a vow to force each other to go to the gym every single day over break.

Gaining 15 pounds does not just apply to freshmen.

7. Even when you are miles apart, you still manage to be as close as you are at home.

As tough as it is to be apart, it never takes a toll on your friendship.

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.
