After many years of going from elementary to middle to high school with the same people, you are now thrown out into a bigger place and you have forgotten how to make friends with strangers.

1. You know the 3 basic facts about a new person that are supposed to help you become BFF’s

“Yeah, I made a new friend! We are so close! I know her major, where she is from and uh...her name”

2.You have to find a common interest with them

OK, THIS IS REALLY HARD. Because every time anyone says, “what do you like to do in your free time?” you use the common “Netflix” answer because (a) it is what you only do and (b) your mind has gone blank of everything you’ve ever expressed interest in.

3. It is a wonderful thing when you find someone else with your major

*Plans spring semester classes together*

4. You don't know if this friendship will last a month or for the rest of your life

The beauty of college is a lot of friendships come and go, but you find those few long lasting friends

5. You and your new college friend(s) have the first time hanging out outside of school/work/church

This wouldn’t be so bad, if only you trusted yourself to not mess it up.

6. Late night food runs = bonding time with new friends

Honestly, probably one of the best nights you’ll have with them

7. FINALLY, you've become close friends

It has only taken half the school year

8. Group messages/Snapchats/seeing each other almost every day

If anything you are making sure they are still alive

9. Sleepovers, movie nights, or study groups

Multi-beneficial factor of your new friend group

10. Crying about having to become adults in less than 4 years together

The tears are real and they are crying with you

11. Stress out about college and life in general together

*Soaks up sorrows into binge watching Netflix shows*

12. You can’t imagine life without your best friends who you've made at college, and honestly, you don’t know how you made it this far without them
