How to know your friends are really much more like a fam.

How You Know You've Found Your "Fam"
IMG

We all have those people..those people that we have in our lives that we cannot imagine going a day without. For me, this would be my English Major Fam at OVU. They're literally 8 other amazing, wonderful, perfect even though some qualify as borderline alcoholic and/or abusive individuals. If you've met us or had the off chance of having an English class with the rest of us, you know just how crazy we English Majors can be, but they are people that I hope I will forever have in my life, even if we end up thousands of miles apart and our amazing group chat is the only way we ever communicate after graduation.

That all being said, here's a few ways that you know you've found your people.

1. You have a group chat.

Most people, especially millennials seem to have at least one group chat blowing up continuously. Other people will look at your phone on the occasion and respond with an immediate "dannnnnng." I know right? It is a "dang," but it's the greatest dang of your life.

2. You make fun of each other on the daily.

I feel like this one doesn't really need much of an explanation, but if you ever "Pull An Alicia," it means you clearly don't know how to read a syllabus and that assignment you're freaking out about that you "forgot" to do really probably isn't due until the next class period or even month..Yes, Gavin. I will learn how to read a syllabus this semester so I can stop the department wide freak outs.

3. You constantly are trying to better each other.

As cheesy as this may sound, your friends really should be in your life to better it if they're there for the right reasons.

4. You have ridiculous insiders with each other.

I feel like this implies most to Emily and me, but I can say without a shadow of a doubt if I look at Haley or Dorian and say "Gentle woman" whiling pretending to pull a sword out, they will both know exactly what I'm talking about. Speaking of which, we really need to get that script on the move. I will personally sponsor it to become a movie. No joke.

5. At the end of the day, even if you "hate" each other, you know you truly love each other unconditionally.

This also doesn't really need much explanation, but it truly is part of every true friend group.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
