13 Times Your Dorm Fire Alarm Will Inevitably Go Off
NBC Universal

For anyone who has lived in a dorm setting, we all know that fire alarms are commonplace. At some point or another, there will be an annoying moment or two... or 30. We've probably all debated whether or not to stay in the dorms when we're almost positive that it's just a drill.

Here are 13 times that a fire alarm will go off.

1. You're showering

Have fun going outside when you still have suds in your hair.

2. You've just gotten into bed

While you might want to just stay in bed, you probably shouldn't.

3. You're trying to study

You're probably pretending to study while staring at your phone, but if you're actually studying, it's even more annoying.

4. You just sat down

It's like the alarms know.

5. It's snowing/freezing outside

I don't even have to explain why this is a horrible time for a fire drill.

6. Multiple times in a row

After one goes off, there should not be another for at least another week.

7. In the bathroom

Still pretty sure that the alarms know.

8. Just got back from a break

You're trying to move all of your stuff back into your dorm, and someone sets off the alarms.

9. You're Netflix-binging

While you can pause your show, it's not the same.

10. Your phone is on the charger

Have fun standing outside without your phone. It's probably going to be a long drill.

11. You have a face mask on/makeup half taken off

I don't even know how to help you here.

12. Something burnt while cooking

And now everyone is mad at you. Good job.

13. Popcorn burnt

As a subset off of 12, sometimes popcorn burns and sets off fire alarms. People are still mad at you though. Good job.

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.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
