The Together-Forever Couple

This is the OG couple; they’re sweet, they’re adorable and you just can’t stop smiling when you see them together. They sweetly sit next to each other during the service just as they’ve been doing for the past few decades.

The Gross Couple

If you’re looking at a couple during the service and you throw up a little in your mouth, then you’re probably looking at this couple. They have their hands all over each other for far too long, in far too many places and with far too many people watching.

The Couple with the First Baby

We get it: it’s your first baby, and you’re a little apprehensive of leaving him/her in the nursery. Completely understandable! But everybody in the congregation knows this couple’s going to have to leave half-way through the service because their baby won’t stop screaming. It’s just the way life is, and this couple is just going to have to learn.

The “Are They?” Couple

This couple makes no sense. They seem like they aren’t dating, but, lo and behold, here they are sitting together again during the service. What does it mean? Are they dating? Why don’t they act like they’re dating when there isn’t a service going on? Do they only sit together? Is it a church-pew exclusive relationship?

The Awkward, Newly-Dating Couple

Ah, here we see in their natural habitat the awkward, newly-dating couple: sitting a few Bible-widths apart and visibly unsure of how much touching is appropriate. Expect them to brush each other’s fingers covertly while holding the hymnal and to glance at each other whenever the pastor mentions literally anything and blush nervously.

The Weekly Installment Couple

This is the couple that just can’t stay together. One week, they’re sitting together, and the next, they’re glaring at each other form across the aisle. Basically, they’re the main purveyors of drama for the church, and if you don’t have any qualms against gambling in a church, you can definitely play bets on whether they’ll sit together or not every Sunday.

The Youth Group Couple

This couple is usually way too young, way too into each other, way too dramatic and way too “pair the spares.” They’re probably sitting (read: cuddling) in the midst of the youth section with the youth leader occasionally and purposefully tapping the guy on the shoulder.

The Ultra-Baptist Couple

This couple’s probably not sitting together. They’re probably sitting with several friends between them: it’s extra holy. But all in all, when they do finally talk at the end of the service, it’s actually really sweet and adorable and pure.

The Presbyterian Couple

This couple’s sitting in the back, and they’re the total opposite of the Ultra-Baptist Couple. Expect hand holding, flannel and skinny jean wearing, and ~generally edginess~ to round out this couple’s aesthetic.

The Arranged Couple

This couple probably doesn’t look incredibly happy, but their families sure do. They’ll sit sandwiched between their respective little siblings, and you can tell from the deadness in their eyes the girl’s parents have already booked the church for the wedding five years in advance.

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.

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
