5 Things You Understand If Your College Best Friends Are Your People ​

Friends in college become a sort of family. Being alone and trying to act grown up, even though we all know you're not, is scary. Having my best friends by my side to help me through it has personally helped me more than I can even describe. You live together, eat together, and absolutely everything else together.

1.  If you spend more than 20 minutes apart, you aren’t really sure what to do with yourself

Giphy

I can't even tell you the amount of texts I've gotten/ sent to one of my friends because we both had class all day and I missed them. Don't even get me started on school breaks.

2.     You eat every single meal together 

Giphy

Meals are sacred times for me and my friends. When you've had a long day apart, dinners are mandatory events to catch up on each other's lives.

3. You know exactly what to say to make your friends laugh  

Giphy

Or make them mad. Depends on the mood.

4.   You forgive all of each other’s annoying/weird/dramatic traits  

Giphy

Even though you know the fact that Bobby from calc left your friend on read for 2 hours definitely isn't that big of a deal deal, you still sit on the floor with her while she cries about it. You'll also probably make fun of her for it later.

5. You know exactly how crazy each other are, and yet you still choose to live together

Giphy

Even though you probably drive each other crazy half of the time, college friends are like family, and you wouldn't want to share one bathroom with anyone else.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
