Your home friends can never be replaced. Although you may not talk every day like you used to, somehow, your high school group chat has managed to stay alive. Nothing beats a text coming from your home friends as you work your way through your busy college schedule.

Here are some classic texts someone in your home group chat is bound to post…

1. "Did you hear about 'so and so'?"

Utter shock and surprise normally follows...

2. "When is everyone coming home for break?"

Aka, how many days until we can reunite and pretend (for a few weeks) like nothing changed?

3. "Everyone send a life update."

A short paragraph about how school is going and about that boy you took to formal.

4. "I miss you guys so much."

These messages come at the most random times but are always the best ones to get.

5. "Remember when..."

Insert any high school memory here.

6. "Should I post this one...or, this one..."

This is a staple post in most group chats. But you just KNOW your home friends won’t hesitate to tell you if you look fat or bad in any picture.

7. "When are you guys coming to visit me?"

I promise that 5-hour drive will be worth it once you get here!
