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.

So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

#EnglishMajorProbs

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

Bros should always come before hoes because...

Declaring bankruptcy isn't as hard as we all thought.

Office places can be weird and stressful at times.

Michael Scott loves Dunder Mifflin and the Scranton Office more than anything.

"The Office" truly does have a lot that it can teach us.

Ah, pre-med: home of the dead at heart.
