Middle school is a formative time for any person. It's an age when you begin to join clubs, go to dances, and even start to form friendships. For most friendships, things begin to fizzle in high school or perhaps even college if you're lucky. There are the rare few groups that outlast high school and college and enter adulthood. Along with this great undertaking of bridesmaid acceptances and yearly traditions of attending Fright Farm in Pennsylvania, you have a wide breadth of knowledge about what it means to be a true friend.

1. You have a name for your group of friends that is as old as your friendship.


For some, it could be the Four Horsemen or the Fantastic Four, but with my friends, we are the Sisterhood.

2. You can literally text these friends wherever, whenever and they will know exactly what to say or do.

No, please keep talking. I am sending SO many texts to this group chat right now about how you are an idiot.

3. And the screenshots. Oh, the screenshots.

Your friends have millions of screenshots saved in their photos that they've sent you and you can't help but take a picture of bae acting real stupid and forgetting you had plans together. Don't worry, my friends already know about that.

4. The plans you made in middle school to travel together and see amazing places have become a reality.

From beach trips to hiking adventures, your friends have seen you fall asleep in the car way too many times.

5. It doesn't matter how long your friend has been dating their significant other, if they're fighting, you automatically hate them.

This could be your friends' first fight with their significant other or it could be their millionth, either way, you will always have your friends' back.


6. One time or another you may have had a crush on one of your friends.

You will always think the sun shines out of their rear end, but sometimes the way the light hits their face just right...


7. Their parents have come to know you...and the snacks you prefer.

It is the chewy ones, not the crunchy ones. The crunchy ones taste like sadness and taxes.

8. When your squad is together, social media knows.

And it's not just one pic from one person, there are different pictures posted from different angles and each one is effortless and everyone is laughing at that one thing Jessica said.

9. When one friend is going through something tough, you are all going through something.


Whether it is relationship or family issues, or even a bad grade on a midterm, your friends are always there for you.

10. Being somewhere new without your friends can be really awkward and weird.

No one got your "Scream the TV Series" reference and you totally can't be rude and just text your friends the whole night, but this is torture. Who even are these people?

11. You know for sure that no matter the distance or how busy you get, your friends will be your friends for life.

As we grow older, people will move away, get married, start their families, but you have your friends on speed dial...and snapchat...and twitter...and you know their house number by heart if things get real drastic.

Sorority Girls

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.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.

I'll admit it, I have a condition called RBF or, if you will, Resting Bitch Face.

Anna Kendrick, poor Kristen Stewart, the Queen of England are all life-long sufferers of RBF. Victoria Beckham even made a career out of it! And though it's usually used to describe women, some men are also afflicted. Kanye West is the best example of this.
