Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

1. When do I have class again?

You have a screenshot of your schedule on your phone, it's your laptop background and you made your mom text it to you every so often throughout the day just in case. By next week you'll be able to walk to class in your sleep.

2. Did I have class with her last semester? Should I say hi?

There's that girl you had a class with like four semesters ago. She's probably ignoring you, but you just keep staring at her until your memory fails you.

3. Absolutely ridiculous.

You mostly likely had this thought while reading the syllabus and seeing that the oral presentation makes up 30 percent of your final grade. Good luck.

4. When does this class end?

You know when this class ends. The professor knows when this class ends. All your classmates know when the class ends. Staring at the clock won't make the time go faster.

5. I'm hungry.

You're always hungry because YOU NEVER STOP EATING.

6. WHERE ARE MY FRIENDS?

Everyone is really quiet because no one here knows each other. Now you have to make all new friends and you're dreading every minute of it.

7. Why do I have to introduce myself?

I hate icebreakers. "Tell us your name, major/year and a fun fact about you." No, I don't want to. Can we leave now? Please?

8. When did they fix __?

You were probably shocked when you came into school and saw the escalators working again like they should be. Consider yourself blessed.

9. I need coffee.

You haven't even finished your second cup. This is what you get for sleeping at 3 a.m. when you have a 9 a.m. class, forgetting to factor in the hour and a half commute to get to school. You probably won't learn from your mistakes.

10. Yes, coffee.

This is your fourth cup and it isn't even 11 a.m. yet.

11. Why am I here?

Because you don't want to live with your parents for the rest of your life. It's time to get it together and get those As.

12. I'm going to pass this class.

You're positive outlook is cute and needed. You can get those As only if you believe in yourself.

13. I'm going to fail this class.

So you took a closer look at the syllabus and saw how much work is involved in a three-credit course. But don't give up, it's only the first day. You still have several months of torture ahead.

The infamous RBF is something I have and am known for. It’s kind of exhausting to be asked if you're okay all the time or being told to smile more. Girls with RBF get judged to be mean and rude much quicker than the girl who is always smiling. It’s true and just plain natural for someone who is generally smiling all the time to come off as more trustworthy and I've gotten used to it. I used to think that having a Resting Bitch Face was only a bad thing until I realized that just like anything else, it also has its perks. Having a permafrown with a piercing look comes with great power.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.
