10 Reasons Why You Should Live With Your Best Friends

We've all heard the advice to never live with your best friends in college if you want to keep them as friends. But like all advice that has ever been given to me, I chose to ignore it and I'm so glad I did.

Living with your best friends in college could end disastrously or it could be the best decision of your life. For me, it was the latter. Here's a few perks of living with your best friends as told by the best group of buddies that has ever been: the Friends cast.

You live with your own personal stylists

It may not work out the best every time, but at least they tried.

And your own chauffeur

Whether you need a ride to class or to the bars, at least one of your roommates will probably be there. And the ride is sure to be terrifying fun.

They know how to have a good time

Because sometimes you need to hide from your responsibilities in a blanket fort with the people that really care about you.

You live with your biggest fans

Aced a test? Got a job? Woke up and went to class today? They already know about it and are so #proud of you.

And you know they'll be there for you when you come home upset

There's no way you're getting away with crying yourself to sleep, alone. They'll know you're upset and they'll cry it out with you.

You can do the weirdest things together

And you know it will definitely get captured on someone's snapchat story.

You can always be yourself

No matter how strange your inner self may be.

Dance parties are a given

Whether it's at the Friday night pregame or someone just has High School Musical stuck in their head, dancing on the coffee table is not an uncommon activity.

You're not afraid to put them in their place

And they're not afraid to put you in yours. You can tell them honestly how annoying they're being and don't have to worry about sparing their feelings.

But at the end of the day, you know they'll always have your back.

And you'll have theirs.

The Post Thanksgiving Panic And Anxiety

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."

Going to the gym and working out on a daily basis (with breaks once in awhile) has been a great way for me to feel good about myself. It is 100% more than just looking good. Especially after starting college and having the stress and anxiety of tests, assignments, and just figuring out my future, the gym at my school has definitely been a place of relief for me and I have numerous reasons of why everyone should push themselves to get to the gym when they can.
