12 Things That Happen When You Are Best Friends With Your Roommates

Going into college, I thought my roommate had to be my best friend even though I had heard hundreds of horror stories about freshman year roommates. Everyone told me that the chances of actually get along and liking your roommate would be slim to none. Sometimes, though, you luck out and become best friends with your roommates. Here are some things people who are best friends with their roommates can relate to.

1. They’re always there for you.

Even when it’s 2 a.m. and you just want to vent about how bad your day was. They're your new support system and shoulder to cry on. They are also the first ones there to celebrate with you when you get good news.

2. They’re always down to order food.

Who says Domino's every other weekend is a bad thing. Ordering two pizzas, parmesan bites and cinnamon sticks is totally OK. It's just a phase I promise. What’s the freshman 15 anyway?

3. Multiple closets.

Being able to share clothes is the greatest. Everyone always has nicer clothes than me so why not take advantage of it. Shopping is now a thing of the past. Besides, sharing is caring.

4. They don’t judge.

They wont even think twice if they leave for hours and when they come back you’re still in the same spot. They don't care if you decided to stay in bed and not talk to anyone all day.

5. They’re brutally honest.

They are not going to be your yes man. They’ll tell it like it is with out sugar coating a thing. They are going to tell you what they really think of your outfit and are not afraid to hurt your feelings. It may be hard but it makes you stronger.

6. There will be endless pictures.

It doesn’t matter if you’re walking to class, passed out at two in the afternoon or getting ready to go out on a Friday night someone is always taking pictures. Whenever you ask for pictures you get sent upward of 90 at a time, not that you're complaining. Who cares if your freshman year Facebook album has close to 1,000 pictures already?

7. You’ll never eat alone.

You might have to drag your roommates out of bed at 1:30 to get brunch on Saturday afternoon but it’s better than facing the dinning hall by yourself.

8. Their family becomes your family.

Crashing family outings has become a specialty of mine. Your parents ask about them and the other way around. It seems like you are just one big happy family like something out of a movie.

9. You stay up way later than planned.

You all planned on going to bed early but nine quickly becomes three and your still up talking. It's not even anything important, just life in general. These late night conversations usually lead to the best memories and inside jokes.

10. You make plans to see each other over every school break.

Living in different states, means road trips back and forth are a must. You've planned multiple trips for the summer. If it actually happens will be another question.

11. You miss each other.

Even if it’s only been four hours it’s weird not seeing them all the time. The texts and Snapchats start coming in almost as soon as your apart. If one of you go home for the weekend be prepared for the "We miss you (insert name here)" Snapchat stories.

12. There are no secrets.

They know everything from who you like to where you are at any given second of the day. They know what pisses who off more than anything and just how to push your buttons. But they also know how to make you laugh and forget everything that stressing you out.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
