6 Times We Were Julia Houston From 'Smash' About Our Friends' New Relationships

We all know the feeling of meeting the new new guy, instead of the old new guy.

We all have that one friend who jumps from relationship to relationship. We all know that fake happiness and support we show for their relationship when we know the guy is a jerk.

Everyone has been in that situation at one point in their lives or another, where we had to fake it until we made it in supporting our friends “true love” until they broke up. Here’s how we’ve all felt, expressed by Julia Houston from "Smash."

1. The fake excitement you show when they say they've entered into yet another relationship.

I can only get happy for you so many times. When you get a new beau every two weeks, it's kind of hard for me to get excited for the new one when I was just starting to remember the old one's name.

2. When you have to be fake sad that their S.O. can't make plans you had for just the two of you.

Can't he come? Oh, no... Oh, well, better luck next time. Let's continue with these plans for the two of us without him, hmm?

3. When they don't listen to your advice.

Listen, girlfriend, I've seen you walk down this road a thousand times. I've seen you get your heart broken, and I've basically lived your mistakes with you. Why won't you listen to me when I tell you to take it slow? What's so wrong with being single for a while? Please answer those questions for me.

4. When they blow off plans with you for their S.O.

Who do you think is going to be here for you when you two break up, huh? It's certainly not going to be him! But, fine, have fun. I'll just watch "Friends" by myself...again.

5. When your friend asks your honest opinion of their new S.O.

Is this a trap? Do you really want honesty or do you want me to say what you want to hear? I'm not sure what you expect of me anymore.

6. When they finally break up a few weeks later.

We all knew this was coming (except, apparently, you) but it's still a cause for celebration. Break out the ice cream! Turn on the movies! Throw some confetti! He's gone, he's really gone! Now, we're free!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
