Coming into college, or even moving out of the dorms on campus, we all have anxiety over the people we are going to live with.

You don't want anyone who will disturb you, keep you up, or bring your mood down, so who do you look for? Maybe you've considered your best friends, but other people say "you don't really know someone until you live with them."

However, living with your best friends can be fun and entertaining.

1. Social Boost

Having your best friends around all the time means that you will always be social. Whether it's having fun at home or spontaneous nights out together to relieve stress, your social life boosts because of the constant people around you.

2. Food Lovers Together

Ever get tired of eating alone? Well, with all the people around, you can share your love of food together. Sometimes that means sharing each others favorite snacks, or the stash you've hidden. Other time it means ordering take out together so delivery is cheaper, and that way you all can feast together.

3. Support

Your best friends have always been there to support you. They were always there when you need them, the good and the bad. Now, if you all live together, their constant support is always around, and their love is endless. Have an event you need a +1, or to show all that you've done? Something amazing happen and all you want to do is tell someone? Your best friends are your support in the comfort of your own place.

4. Fun Errands

All those boring errands are now an amazing adventure!. Food shopping now becomes multiple hungry humans raiding through the aisles, grabbing way more snacks and groceries than needed. Let's not forget about the jam sessions during the car rides there and back, creating more fun memories.

5. Spontaneous Dates/Adventures

Always having your friends around, makes it super easy to go on spontaneous adventures. Did you see a new restaraunt open in town? Is there a festival going on soon? Your best friends are right there to make new memories.

6. Nights In

When you lived at home, spending nights in can get super boring and lonely. Living with your best friends make even those night entertaining. Whether it's movie marathons, binge watching a series, gaming together, or just talking about life, having company around keeps you busy.

7. Being Comfortable

Living with your best friends brings less stress to your every day routines. If you are the same sizes, sharing clothes becomes easy. Not sure if an outfit looks quite right? Just ask your best friends, they would give you their honest opinion as well. Your daily routines are more comfortable because you're in an environment with no judgement.

8. Having People Over

Since all of you are already close, having people over or introducing others doesn't become awkward. The group project you have coming up becomes a bit easier because you now have a place to do it. Going on a date? Introducing the person is easy because your best friends know who you are entirely and also will look out for your best interest.

9. People to Talk To

No matter what point you are in life, being away from family becomes hard because there is no one to easily talk to. However, having your best friends around, always means you have someone at the end of the day to go over a sticky situation, ask for opinions, or just tell good new to.

10. Lasting Bonds

Everyone will always have those people that just know them 360 degrees all around, and will always be there for them. Getting the chance to live with those people, creates a bond not many get to experience. Living with your best friends shows a different side of your relationships, and may create memories that you could never duplicate.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
