We've all heard the story of "girl meets boy," but what about when "girl meets girl"?

I am talking about the moment when you realize you are good friends with someone. Whether it be at the lunch table because they shared their Lunchable with you or suffering through that horrible professor together, or even the "you make my job fun" friend. Basically the Christina to your Meredith or the Brooke to your Peyton.

Best friends make the world a little brighter on the Monday morning that makes you want to give up and lay in bed, eating whatever scraps you have left over from the weekend. They fill in the holes that boys have broken. They are the bridesmaids before the husbands are actually found.

But, what happens when this best friend gets another best friend? We all have this fear that someone is going to figure out how awesome your friend is and steal them from you, and that would really suck.

It does happen, though, and you have to spend that Monday morning as a third wheel. You become the second pick in the litter. There are many stages that you go through when this happens (and it will happen).

1. "Sorry, I can't, I'm getting lunch with my new BFF."

She may not have said this in those words, but this is how you heard it. It finally happened. Their schedule isn't open 24/7 to you, so now you have to watch Netflix by yourself.

2. When she acts like a better BFF than you.

You have always known the little facts about them and the boys they liked, but then that day comes where you can honestly say you don't really know what her new BFF is talking about. You try to recover with a "Yeah, I know," but in reality, you totally don't.

3. "I'm not even her best friend anymore."

And then you vent to your other friends that you don't even know what's going on in her life, or even who she is anymore.

4. So then you get a new best friend.

So then you start going out and meeting new friends, but like, how do you do that when you're 20 and your greatest quality is that you know how to take a 20-minute nap anywhere?

5. I guess maybe we can all three be friends.

Well, I guess if my BFF is friends with you, then maybe you can be my friend, too.

6. Either way, we can all jam in the wedding together.

Even though you have a new bestie, I know you'll always love me. Just don't forget about me (especially when you get a boyfriend)

7. I'll just enjoy my "new BFF."

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
