The Narrative

1. It's like a nonstop sleepover, but better

Living with your besties is like a sleepover every night, except everyone gets their own room and bathroom, what more could you ask for!

2. You're never alone if you don't want to be

If you're feeling down you've got your girl right down the hall to cheer you up and eat copious amounts of Ben & Jerry's with you. #WeDontJudge #WeJoin

3. Family dinners are back in your life

You can make yummy meals together and talk about your day within the comfort of your home! No more going out and spending money you don't have on food just to see your friends if you don't want to.

4. No one gets mad if you borrow something

Since you genuinely like who you live with, sharing your stuff with them isn't a problem!

5. Going out is so much easier because you're starting and ending at the same place

No lady is left behind because you're all going home anyway!

6. Getting ready for anything is so much more fun

Easily being able to pop into each other's rooms and ask "which one do you like better," is a time saver and style saver.

7. They've got your back

No matter what it is, there's nothing more relieving than sending an "SOS" to the group chat and your roomies responding with a "be home in five."

8. You're free to be your weird self

When you live with your friends you know they already like you for everything you are, so there's no holding back.

9. All of their friends are your friends

Nothings worse than not liking your roommate, but not being able to stand the annoying friends they bring to your place. When you live with your friends more likely than not, the annoying friends they bring over are also your annoying friends, so you don't mind.

10. You stay in more

When you live with your friends every day of the week is a party, so missing a few ladies's nights here or there to chill at home with your roomies is actually ideal.

11. You get to know them even better

They say you don't really know someone until you live with them, and I agree, but lucky for me living with my friends has only made me love them more!

12. They're always down to help a sista out

Need someone to switch your laundry, preheat the oven or feed your guinea pigs? Have no fear ya sista friend is here.

13. You respect each other

I'm a clean freak and my roomies knew that going into this, so they do their absolute best to keep our place in tiptop shape and it means so much to me and my OCD tendencies.

14. "I'm going to Target, anyone need anything?"

Oh, girl, I ALWAYS need something and I will Venmo you right now.

15. Your apartment is SO CUTE

What's better than one decor queen?

Four decor queens???

16. When they take home leftovers, but end up not wanting them

Yes girl, I will gladly take that chicken marsala off your hands.

17. Carpooling has never been easier

Shot gun!

18. They bring out the best in you

After a bad day it's so easy to come home, sit in your room, and be sad, but when you live with your besties you better believe as soon as you walk in the front door your frown is turned upside down

Life's just better when you love who you live with.

The Stages Of A Crush As Told By The Cast of "Bob's Burgers"

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

Dean College

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.

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

May the odds be ever in your favor.

University of Nebraska at Omaha

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?

University of Kentucky

pointsincase.com

"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.

17 Times "Friends" Accurately Described Life

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

We all go through certain stages when we have a crush, Tina just explains it better.

That moment that someone you never looked twice at suddenly makes you do a double take out of no where.

But you can't have a crush, that's outrageous. It's all in your head.

Because you don't have a crush, there's no reason to tell anyone about anything. Right?

But then they do something irresistible and you start to lose it.

Now accepting the fact you have a crush, you have to keep it under control.

Then there's the part where you tell your friends who will claim they called it.

They'll be excited and cheer you on. That's until they realize that your crush is all you'll be talking about.

Your obsession has become so bad, that your Facebook stalking is getting out of control.

But your friends will try and help move things along any way they can. That doesn't mean it will be any helpful though.

As time goes on, you start having fantasies about the two of you and it's starting to scare you a little.

You can't focus on anything because all your attention is on them and everything they do.

Anybody who comes near your crush is now an enemy, and you are willing to fight for your crush.

When you see them, you act like an idiot. Trying to hide your feelings may not be as discrete as you think.

Keeping your feelings inside will start to be harder and harder until you can't keep it inside anymore.

Who knows, maybe it will work out? Take a chance.

May the odds be ever in your favor.

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

1. You feel like an elder.

2. You may feel lonely.

3. Senioritis is more real than ever.

4. You may feel a little down sometimes.

5. Fear of missing out won't be as real.

6. You are a college pro.

7. You'll have more free time.

8. You're happy you're still in school.

9. You feel like a guru.

10. You continue to grow.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

1. When dealing with people is too difficult.

2. When food is the best part of your day.

...you can't ever say no to it

3. When you meet new people.

4. When you're the third wheel.

5. When life is tough but you're trying to hold it together.

6. When you're the brunt of a joke.

7. When you're too broke for food.

8. When your judgment could be better.

9. When you're not great at socializing.

10. When honesty is the best policy.

11. When you accept your flaws.

12. When work is not going well.

13. When you skip the gym.

14. When you over think.

15. When you swipe right.

16. When you get a crush.

17. When no major life event is happening

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."
