22 Reasons 'How I Met Your Mother' Is Squad Goals

After watching only one season of the hit show, "How I Met Your Mother," I was already hooked. The show hits you in all of the right feels—you get comedy, romance, heartbreak, friendship, family, real life experiences and lots and lots of stories. The group of friends consists of two girls and three boys—a couple and three singles (technically Ted and Barney both end up dating Robin, but anyhow), and their bond and friendship is definitely one for the books. Needless to say, I finished the whole nine=season series on Netflix over the course of a month and a half. The entire time I watched the show, I was obsessed with their friend group dynamic, and I have officially decided that I want that in my life. So ladies and gents, here we have it: "How I Met Your Mother" as squad goals.

1. The way they handle each other's feelings.

This crew is known for dramatically acting things out, and no one ever misses a beat when working on another friend's pun or joke.

2. They understand when it's time to celebrate.

Whether it is the birth of Lily and Marshall's baby or the ending of one of Ted's horrible relationships.

3. They know it is more than okay to be emotional.

Having feelings is great. Having a lot of feelings isn't bad either. Having too many feelings at your best friend's wedding may be a slight problem.

4. They understand what love is, and they all aspire to have it.

Because who doesn't want a relationship like Lily and Marshall?

5. Good friends are always watching.

Whether it is to keep you from texting your crazy ex or to keep you from spilling a secret, they are always watching you and keeping you in line.

6. The same things freak you out.

Is he really wearing cargo shorts?! Oh no she did not start dating our arch enemy.

7. They help you try to understand confusing texts from the opposite sex.

Two kissy face emojis and a tree emoji? What on Earth could she be talking about?

8. You can ask them your most obscene questions.

No topic is off limits in this friend group.

9. They are not afraid to call it like they see it.

Sorry, not sorry! What the heck is that chick wearing?!

10. They enjoy eating as much as you do.

Oh, the rich smell of an orange in the morning.

11. They love hearing your stories as much as you love telling them.

Who doesn't love a great audience when telling a story?

12. You don't have to be speaking to be hanging out.

In this day in age, who really needs to speak when you can just sit in the same room and text each other?

13. They aren't afraid to tell you when you are out of line.

Love you man, but you are kind of being a huge jerk right now.

14. They get excited about your good news also.

True friends get excited for other friends' good times also.

15. They will give you credit where credit is due.

Credit is only a fist-bump away from you knowing you did a damn good job.

16. They will drop whatever they are doing to be there with you.

Good friends will always be there for you when you need them.

17. Weird handshakes and dances are a definite.

Have you really bonded unless you have done stuff in-sync before?

18. They will be immature with you when the time calls for it.

Everyone needs to act like a kid again sometimes, right?

19. You are never alone in a risky situation.

Don't we all need a Canadian friend like Robin?

20. They aren't afraid to be themselves.

Own it, Marshall, own it!

21. They are generous.

Spread the wealth, people, spread the wealth!

22. At the end of the day, they are exactly who you want to sit around and drink a beer with and watch the game.

Who wouldn't want friends like them? Honestly.

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.
