You may not realize it, but all of these things happen when you're essentially inseparable.

11 Things That Happen When You Find Your People

College is weird.

I mean think about it. Suddenly, you're thrown into an environment filled with new people from different backgrounds and expected to live life, like... normal. And make... friends.

Have you ever thought of it like that?

But the cool thing about the friends you make is they become your cuddle buddies, your confidants, and your sisters. And all these other things happen, too

1. They know the code to your complex and walk right in

Whether it's a swipe, key code, or key, they know it and have no problem using it frequently.

2. You have your important dates and their important dates on your calendar

Well, I mean you have to support each other, right?? And chances are you were going anyway.

3. You never really stop talking, it's kind of just a continual conversation with intermissions

It might be quiet from like 1am to 9am, but that's just so you can rest your thumbs.

4. You know their class schedule

Well, duh. It's also probably really similar to yours anyway. Or they're in your class. (This was taken when our professor was telling us to put our phones away, lol sorry not sorry)

5. You know their phone passcodes

How else are you every going to get that cute photo you guys took, or block the boy your girl won't get over??

6. Your parents ask about them

My mom asks about my girls daily and sends them stuff. She basically adopted them. And their mom's adopted me too.

7. They take crazy adventures with you.

Whether it's trekking for ice cream at 3am, or heading to a championship game in another state-- you can't imagine it without them

8. You know you drive each other crazy, but remind yourself it is out of love.

Yeah, they may have texted you 15 times in a row, and it definitely drives you crazy, but the minute you guys are together all is forgiven.

9. You can finish each other's sentences

The first time it happens, it might feel super creepy, but the feeling of someone being totally on your wavelength is pretty amazing.

10. You've got each other's backs.

Another girl is talking smack at the bar, you know you've got the back up you need to shut her down. You also have the back up you need to talk to the cute boy, and to eat your 5th cookie. They got you.

11. You know them inside and out

You know exactly how much sugar and milk go into their coffee, and what TV show they're bingeing. Whether it's a look of excitement or terror, together you can read any situation and do what's best. You know what makes them happy, what makes them cry, everything. You. Know. Them.

Back to my initial question: have you ever thought of it like that? College?

I have. And the only reason is because I have these girls next to me.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
