We all have one; that one best friend who absolutely refuses to give your family their personal space.

For this friend, your entire home is their oyster. They happily eat the food out of your pantry, put their bare feet up on your coffee table, and throw curse words around your parents like it's MTV. However, how you view this friend varies based on your status in your own best friend's home.

Here are 12 sure-fire signs that you and your best friend's families have merged into one.


1. You don't ask permission to come over, you just walk inside the house.

2. You never hesitate to ask for food at each other's houses. Instead, you can literally go into their kitchen and grab whatever you want.

4. You get an automatic invite to any family parties or events.

And you never feel out of place because you already know the extended family.

5. You always get asked if you two are sisters when you go out with their family and you secretly love it.

Ironically, you guys actually look nothing alike.

6. At this point, both your parents have even become good friends.

7. You have easily spent hours planning out elaborate vacations together, and actually go on them.

8. You can spend the entire day watching Netflix in their living room without feeling bored.

9. You have been snowed in together for multiple days on end and didn't feel an urge to pull out each other's hair.

In fact, it was so much fun you wish it could have lasted longer.

10. You call each other's parents Mom and Dad.

11. Your best friend's parents have given you valuable life advice from the heart and vice versa.

12. You're both always welcome at each other's houses anytime. No exceptions.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
