No one can relate better to the struggles of Chandler Bing better than Odyssey writers.

1. You sit down and log into MUSE all confident, soon to realize that you have no idea what to write about.

And, even if you do know what to write about, you never know where to start.

2. You then spend more time coming up with an idea for an article than you do actually writing it.

"Has 'College Struggles Told by Friends' been done before?"

3. After what seems like forever trying to come up with an original idea, you finally have a revelation and come up with one.

4. You begin to write your heart out and type like there's no tomorrow.

5. You finally finish and hope it's good enough for Odyssey to share it on social media.

6. You click "Next" and realize that you still have to write the subheadline, header, metadata title and description, etc...

7. Finding a header picture also takes you forever, and then the perfect URL is taken.

See also: finding a picture but it's too small, not being able to find a source for a listicle picture, etc. etc. etc.

8. You get everything done and finally click "submit" and are just relieved you got it in before your deadline.

9. Your article gets published and Facebook decides to not put your share on anybody's newsfeed.

10. You then check social media constantly to see if Odyssey posted your article, but they never do.

11. You then get a message from your Editor in Chief asking for what you're gonna write about for next week and you don't know how you're gonna come up with another idea.

12. Soon after, you sit down, log into MUSE, and start the whole process over again.

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. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. 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.
