When I left high school and came to college I was terrified that I would not find a group of close friends. However, I was blessed to find a group of people that makes college truly the best time of my life. Here are ten things that will tell you that you found your college best friends.


1. The group message is always bumping

You have a group text message, a snapchat group, and you're constantly tagging each other on things on Instagram. Your group chats are constantly filled with hilarious stories throughout the day and updates on everybody's struggles. There is never a moment that the group chat is not blowing up.


2. You can roast each other all the time.

Nobody is safe when it comes to roasting. From brining up truly humiliating stories to commenting on something they said, the roasting never stops. But it's never a real fight, you just laugh about it and move on.


3. They're always down for an adventure

Whether it's randomly taking a day trip somewhere or going for a 2 am night drive on the parkway, they'll never turn down an adventure. You know you can always count on them to take life by storm.


4. Their advice never fails you

Whether it's over something serious or something silly, they're always there with guidance. They'll sit with you for as long as you need and listen to you rant. After you're done with the ranting they'll give you their honest opinion, and it never fails to make things easier.


5. They keep things super real

Whenever you make a stupid decision or are just being stupid, they tell you straight up. They'll call you out when you've done something wrong and they never let you do something that you'd regret. They never lie to you and are 100% honest. It may be hard to hear the truth sometimes, but you know you need to hear it.



6. They brighten up your worst days

Even on the days that you've been crying your eyes out in bed, they make you laugh and enjoy the day. They'd walk across campus to bring you a water and some food when you can't get up. You might be in the worst mood but with them, that won't last long.

7. Borrowing clothes is never an issue

When you're in desperate need of a cute article of clothing, a quick message to the group chat is all it takes. They'll comment on your Instagram pictures from 100 weeks ago and say, "Can I borrow this". Your closet is their closet and vice versa.


8. Some of your favorite nights have been doing nothing with them

There have been nights where you all just sat there for hours talking and listening to music. You love these nights because they were filled with laughter and you didn't have to wear pants. Who needs to go out when you can stuff your face and roast your friends.


9. You all have the same taste in music

You all respect going from High School Musical to hardcore rap to Tame Impala. Car rides and hangout sessions are filled with music blasting and there's never an argument about a certain song being on. You're also being introduced to new music constantly and some of it becomes your favorite.


10. They fill your life with positivity and motivation

The friends that you've met in college are pushing you to meet your full potential. They only show you the positives of a situation and motivate you to embrace life and all it has to offer. You know in any given situation they will push you in the right direction and send you that way with a smile on your face.



Coming into college can be a nerve-wracking experience without all of your best friends from home by your side. But when you find your friends in college, it makes everything easier. Thank you to the girls that went from strangers to the ones who would drop everything for me. College and life would not be the same without you.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
