College-life is great, but it can be a bit overwhelming. Thankfully, our best friends are there to make sure we remember to eat and to remind us when we're forgetting something (which happens a lot). Along the way, we end up asking these 10 questions... quite often.

1. If I drop out now, do you think my parents will find out?

We’ve all been there. Thankfully, our best friends are there to tell us they’ll drop out with us so we can move away together (this happens at least once a week).

2. How much caffeine can I drink before I have a heart attack?

After an all-nighter and a two-hour nap, the caffeine is flowing. Sometimes, we just need affirmation that we will be okay, even as we pump ourselves with caffeine before taking a 3-hour exam.

3. When is the semester over?

Sometimes, we just need a reminder that it will end. But as much as we love to think about the semester ending and not having calculus at 8 am, there is an unspoken vow to never speak of finals until is it absolutely necessary.

4. Will you stay up with me?

Basically, if I’m going to be up all night, so are you. When I need a random dance party at 4 am to keep going, I’m going to need a partner.

5. Where is my ___?

Half the time, I don’t even know where my own head is. I need you to keep track of me and my insane ability to place my phone in the mini fridge and place crackers in my pocket. When I call and ask you where my laptop charger went, I’m going to need you to tell me to look in the most obvious place, because that’s probably the last place I’ll look.

6. I just finished my show on Netflix. What am I going to do with my life?

NEEDED: Emotional support. When I (finally) finish The Office and I can’t control my sobbing, I’m going to need you to show me my next binge-watching favorite. That’s just not something I can do on my own.

7. Read this text. Do I sound crazy or do they?

After we’ve stayed up writing a 10-page paper the night before it’s due, we become needy creatures. We need sleep, relaxation, and someone to proof read everything we write. After a while, we can easily spend 20 minutes trying to figure out how to start a response email to a prof. I’m going to need you to tell me it’s fine, and probably hit send for me.

8. What am I doing?

When I start to question my major for the 12th time in two years, just remind me why I’m there in the first place. Please tell me that I’m actually going to do something with my life-- please validate me. (As an English major, your validation is probably needed just to feel sane.)

9. Who is (s)he?

When I’m talking to someone, smiling and nodding, not really saying much, I’m going to text you asking you who I’m talking to. We know I’m horrible at remembering people, and I’m probably going to embarrass myself if I don’t figure out who I’m speaking with soon.

10. What would I do without you?

When everything is crazy and I’m a stressed out mess, I don’t know what I’d do without my best friend. Thank you. I love you.
