Ten Things You Know When You've Found Your College Posse
Katie Madigan

1. You will spend literally every weekend together.

Whether it be Walmart runs, mall trips, or just generally hanging out, you're always together. Even if you're just having a lazy day, they won't let you be lazy alone. You know that they're true friends when you can sit in near silence for long periods of time without it getting strained or awkward.

2. You eat at least six meals a week together.

At minimum. Since finding your pals, you rarely eat alone. Even if it's just something quick or literally going through the drive through at Taco Bell, you've always got at least one friend by your side. In my personal case, my friends and I pick one night a week where one of us cooks a real meal for the rest. We call it our "family" dinner night. Honestly, it's my favorite part of every week.

3. You have each other's class schedules memorized and therefore know the best time to get in touch with each other.

While during class, your phone (which you definitely don't have hidden under your desk during a lecture) probably stays relatively quiet. And the moment you pack up your things, your phone starts buzzing and beeping like there's no tomorrow, filling you in on the latest gossip, lunch plans, and Harambe memes.

4. Every weekend you have at least one movie night.

Whether it be an old Disney classic, a heartfelt romantic comedy, or an amazingly cheesy horror flick, you guys have got the popcorn flowing. In most cases, you may not even be really watching. More that you're making your own commentary and singing along to all the musical numbers. It's also the most fun thing you'll do all week.

5. You borrow each other's clothes as if you were siblings.

Chances are, you have the same body type as a few of your besties and therefore you practically share a closet. Any night before going out involves the raiding of each other's clothes that can put any movie fashion montage to shame.

6. You can't seem to stop laughing whenever you're together.

You probably already know this, but your group just "gets" you. This means that you have a very similar sense of humor. Even though you've probably told and heard all the stories and jokes more times than you can count, you find yourself laughing just as hard as the first time.

7. You're binging several TV shows together.

"Game of Thrones," specifically, is an integral part of your friendship.

8. You have as much fun having a game night as you do at a party.

You don't need anything flashy or super exciting to have a good time together. Whether you're out on the town or just chilling in your apartment, there's always hilarity and adventure.

9. They know exactly when to say when you're having a crisis and vice versa.

It could be something as trivial as whether or not you should respond to a text from an ex flame or something more serious like struggles on the home front. Whatever it is, they'll help talk you through whatever has got you down or stressed out.

10. You have each other's back no matter what.

This one goes without saying, but you've got some pretty awesome pals and they won't steer you wrong. They love you just as much as you love them and it shows. These are the people that make college the best it can be. Come hell or high water, you've got friends for life.

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.
