You always hear about those roommate horror stories. You know, the ones that go something like "My freshman year roommate was crazy! She always stayed out late and always kept the room messy," Or: "My roommate is so gross. She always leaves her dirty dishes and is constantly fighting with her boyfriend." Before I started college, I thought that I would be one of the ones who got stuck with the terrible roommate. Boy, was I wrong! My roommate and I have become the closest of friends, and it is amazing what can happen when you live in a tiny room.

1. You become each others motivators.

When a test comes around for one of you it always seems like procrastination gets the best of you. Soon enough it's 11 p.m., and you both find yourselves beginning that next episode of "Grey's Anatomy" instead of studying. But there comes a time when you are saying to each other "You got this, girl!" or "I believe in you! You're going to do great!"

2. You do everything together.

You're never without a dinner date! Activities range from running to Walmart, going to the library together, going to the gym and going out on the weekends. Every outing is an adventure while also a reminder to why you two should never be seen in public together.

3. You always have someone to like your posts.

New profile pic? They liked it. Funny tweet? You know her and all of her friends from her hometown are going to laugh and retweet it!

4. You have endless Netflix recommendations.

Netflix has endless possibilities for shows, movies and documentaries. All the time you guys are telling each other what they should check out next. I have been bugging my roommate to watch "The Walking Dead" and "Notting Hill" this entire semester!

5. You watch each other grow.

The cool thing about living in a tiny room is that you really get to know a person. You watch them go through their ups and downs, and you help them through it. You watch each other make mistakes and learn from them.

6. You tag each other in everything you see.

You know them so well you can't help but let them know about something that will interest them. All of your notifications are basically them tagging you in super cute dog videos.

7. You plan for the future together.

Since you two are the dynamic duo on your floor (or even in your residence hall), you two already have plans to live together for the next four years. You two have also probably planned endless vacations with your future families.

8. You can't imagine life without them.

You don't know how you would survive college without your roommate! She is always there for you, and she makes college fun! You two are thankful you found each other on the Internet or by random selection and can't wait to see what the next four years have in store for you two!

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
