How You Know You've Found Your "Fam"

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

How You Know You've Found Your "Fam"

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
