What College Means To Me

1.) Cutting your pizza with a plastic spoon and knife because you ran out of forks.

2.) Forgetting that you're wearing shower shoes with your skinny jeans and walking into Target that way.

3.) Waiting in the Chick fil A drive through line for 30 minutes because you don't "feel" like going in.

4.) Paying a large sum of money to your local frat boy in order to hold a puppy.

5.) Wearing the same shirt two days in a row because your Monday/Wednesday/Friday class and Tuesday/Thursday class didn't see you wear it the previous day.

6.) Writing a complaint to management because it's been six months and they still haven't gotten that encrusted band aid off the shower wall.

7.) Buying a fish because you need more "decoration" (and a friend).

8.) Wondering what that smell is.

9.) Staying up researching what type of dog to get when you graduate until 3 a.m.

10.) Crying over that one emotional scene in "Fox and the Hound" until 3 a.m.

11.) Ironing your wet clothes because the dorm dryer broke at 3 a.m.

12.) Changing majors once, twice, three times, four times, and then back to three times because the fourth time was even worse than the third time.

13.) Refraining from blocking all of the girls who post a pic with their bff and say "OHEMGEE IM GONNA MISS YOU SO MUCH" over a 2-day long fall break.

14.) Sippin your tea (or Dr. Pepper, or Coke Zero, or coffee, whatever) when your roommate has some juicy gossip.

15.) Putting the $10 your grandmother gave you in a Valentine's Day card into your bank account because you have $5 left, and that extra $10 will get you through the rest of the week.

16.) Wearing a sorority t-shirt every day because that's literally the only item of clothing you have in your closet.

17.) Going back to high school football games and thinking "I didn't know they were letting 10-year-olds into hig---WAIT THAT'S A SENIOR?".

18.) Looking at old pictures of yourself on Facebook and think "Dang. I got fat."

19.) Making up super lame, invalid, horrible excuses to appeal your parking ticket.

20.) Memorizing the names of all of your favorite meme instas, but not following them because then you'll look lame and your follower to following ratio could potentially get messed up *gasp*

21.) Buying industrial-strength ant killer because apparently dorms are also homeless ant shelters and soup kitchens.

22.) Regretting that one thing you said that one time.

23.) Trying to decide if you want to spend your $18 on makeup and a microwaveable pizza, or on a nice dinner out and a birthday card for your friend.

24.) Realizing you have 4 essays due in a span of 2 weeks but not caring because you've truly had it worse and seen it all.

25.) Being assigned to watch "Pride and Prejudice Zombies" for homework and then write your opinion about it.

26.) Laying on the floor for a while because why not.

27.) Buying an oil diffuser for the room because #healthy and also NO BUT REALLY WHAT IS THAT SMELL?

28.) Getting caught belt-singing "I Dreamed A Dream" in your room when you thought no one was out in the hallway.

29.) Arriving at the prompt time of 7:20 p.m. to see the 7:30 p.m. showing of "Hidden Figures" for extra credit, but then realizing The entire student body wants extra credit and the theater only holds an audience of one hundred people and has been full since 7:00 p.m.

30.) Having to redo your entire class schedule for next year because you literally don't have enough hours in the day to take all of the classes you have down. *flips table*

31.) Literally emailing the head of maintenance because too many squirrels jumped in the fountain outside and drowned and it's super sad.

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.

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.
