You've been together for so long. It's great. And as the time spent in your relationship grows, you hit certain milestones where you know it's real. These can be make-or-break moments, or just little things where you finally realize that you're both doing it. Everybody hits these milestones, no matter how long it takes; they're inevitable.

You know you've made it when you hit these long-term relationship milestones.

So. Many. Inside. Jokes.

You can't help it--once you have spent that much time with somebody, you're bound to have jokes just between the two of you.

Selfie masters

You now have more photos together than you do apart. Your entire camera roll is photos of the two of you.

What's personal hygiene?

You've gone past the point of no return: no makeup, sweatpants, maybe your hair is unwashed? But it doesn't matter, because you're comfortable with your significant other.

Knowing what to order

You know exactly what to order them when they want food--and they'll do the same for you. You know their order like the back of your hand, and it's secondhand nature now when you pull into the drive-through.

Caring for hobbies

It begins when you start to genuinely care about their hobbies and favorite things. You're truly enjoying what they enjoy while you're with them.

Offend who?

You two know you're just joking around, but to others, you sound like you hate each other. It's just a weird way of showing affection, I promise.

Deep conversations

You know you're truly close with someone once you can have deep conversations without it being weird. Hitting these pretty much means there's no going back now.

Who pays?

One of you can't go on paying for the other for the rest of your lives (and, come on, it's 2016). Splitting bills or taking turns paying for dates or food is a good sign--everything is fair, and there's no feeling awkward about money.

Becoming a two-for-one package deal

If you're alone, people start asking where your S.O. is, and vice versa. You go everywhere together when you can--and there's nothing wrong with that.

Bodily functions

Being comfortable with another person means a lot of things: you can talk to them without fear of being judged, and you can also hear them fart around you.

You can be weird

There's no stopping you now--once the weird has been unleashed, there is absolutely no way to put it back.

Code words

Is what you're speaking even English anymore? Although, as long as the two of you know what a word means, does it even matter?

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
