1. The friends you go out with.

Giphy

Pretty sure everyone has a specific girl gang that when they all get together, the night ends with a lot of weird drunk Snapchats and cry sessions over how much you love each other.

2. Your friend's friends.

You hang out with them when your friends are around, but going up to them when your friends aren't around feels awk.

3. You roommates.

Giphy

You worry when they don't come home, you cook meals together and you hang out in your PJs and discuss your days together. You're basically married.

4. The friend that is just as horrible as you.

Giphy

Sometimes you need to rant or make stupid decisions and just have someone who gets and encourages it.

5. You friends from home.

Giphy

They will always have a place in your heart. They are proof that long distance relationships can work.

6. Friends you study with.

Giphy

We all have one friend who lives in the library and is always super stressed about their grades and inspires you to stress about yours as well.

7. The friend you sit next to in class.

You ONLY see them in class and they are always your partner for assignments. The people you sit next to earn a special place in your heart for getting through the semester with you.

8. The friend you make plans with but never actually hangout with.

Giphy

You guys always end up canceling or never make the time to do anything.

9. Your work friends.

Giphy

These people somehow know all of your deepest and darkest secrets, even though you may never see them outside of work.

10. The friends you soft smile at in public but hug and talk to while drunk.

Acquaintances? Maybe that's what you call them...

11. Friend with the boyfriend/fling/hookup that you HATE.

Giphy

She insists on bringing him around but you really can't stand the stupid smug look on his face.

12. The person you want to be best friends with but they are too cool for you.

Giphy

Her Instagram feed is perfect. Her wardrobe is perfect. She's nice AND pretty. Just striving to have your life seem as put together as hers.

13. Your friend with all of the connections.

Giphy

This girl knows every bouncer, can get you free Uber rides and you can't go out in public with her without AT LEAST five people recognizing her and saying hi.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

You can't just go to your room to take a nap in the middle of your classes.

Having to spend all your extra cash on gas for your car.

Speaking of money, you probably don't have a meal plan so you're forced to scrounge up some change or mooch off of your friends.

It can be harder to maintain the friendships you make with people from class.

Finding a parking spot.

It can be harder to be involved on campus because between your one, two, or three jobs and school you don't have much free time.

When you try to be super involved on campus, it can kill your sleep schedule.

It's impossible to do homework at home, but staying on campus isn't an option sometimes.

There are surveys and events that you can't participate in because you're a commuter.

Group projects are the bane of your existence.

Traffic.

Your backpack rivals that of a survivalist trekking in the woods.

Driving all the way to campus to find a note on the door of your classroom saying class was cancelled.

Because have you ever had to endure grilling your foot on a George Foreman?

1. When he just wanted bacon from his George Foreman grill

3. When he got upstaged at Phyllis' wedding

4. When he unintentionally saved Meredith from rabies

5. When he wore a "bisexual" suit

6. When he had to apologize to Jesus

7. When his GPS drove him into a lake

8. When he had to deal with Ryan as his boss

9. When he couldn't fulfill his most generous empty promise

10. When this happened

11. When he struggled with a X-Mas break up

12. When he had to defend his generosity

13. When he threw a classy Christmas party for Holly but she had a boyfriend

14. When he had to stand up to peer pressure

15. When Toby was "Toby-ish"
