Do we call it a crush anymore? Is that still a thing in college? Well, we'll say it is because I haven't heard a better word for it yet. Being into someone is awkward as it is, and your friends just seem to add to your awkwardness. So what TV show better to describe having a crush than "Friends"?

The one with the voice in your head

That moment when you realize you have this little voice in the back of your head telling yourself that you don't want to be just friends with that guy you've known for two years anymore. You're not sure where the heck it came from but you spend a few weeks telling it to shut up and leave you alone.

The one where you say "oh shoot"

When you stop ignoring the voice in your head because apparently, you want to make yourself miserable and catch some sort of weird feelings for your friend.

The one where you start overthinking

That moment you come to terms with your crush or whatever you want to call it, effectively making you question every single interaction from saying hey while passing them on campus to liking their posts on social media. "Did I smile too much when I said hi?" "Is it weird we've made eye contact from across the room three times in the last five minutes?" "Do you think he noticed me walking by his desk at the library three times?" "How do I say happy birthday to him on Facebook without looking desparate?"

The one where you listen to gossip

When you go to a small school (aka under 2,000 kids on campus) everybody knows everybody else's business. And on Saturday nights, there's only a few places on campus that the people are hanging out at. And of course your best friend saw him on a party hitting on her teammate while he was drunk. And you sit there and listen to it and act like you don't care because you don't want to let the secret out quite yet.

The one where you're in denial

"You really think I'm sitting on the wrong side of the table so I can 'accidentally' make eye contact with him every five minute? C'mon that's ridiculous." "Of course I'm not walking that way in the library on purpose, I didn't even know he was sitting over there." "No, I don't like his *insert sport here* team just because he's on it, c'mon I know the whole team." Yeah those are all lies and your friends are going to figure it out.

The one when you start spilling the beans

If you're terrible at keeping it to yourself, ie, talking about him frequently whenever a topic remotely close to having to do with him comes up, occasionally glancing over to see if he's looking at you at the dining hall during dinner, then your friends are more than likely going to figure it out.

The one where your friends make it obvious

Like when you pass him in the dining hall twice and then sit down and your friend says "OMG did you see who's sitting over there?" while he's at the table across the aisle from you. Yeah, not obvious at all. And when they start telling you how cute your name would be with his or what your celebrity ship name would be or where you're going to get married, yeah you're going to want to punch them even though you love them.

The one where everyone else finds out

Not everyone in the school, but it might as well be when your friends start realizing you might be into someone they know. It's even worse if they know him, trust me, you'll never hear the end of it, especially if you have guy friends who enjoy tormenting you whenever they can.

The one where you come to terms with it

"Yeah, I'm into *insert name here*, he's easy on the eyes and *insert whatever charming quality you'd like here* I'm not embarassed" you tell your friend as you sit there watching Netflix and eating pizza. But let's be honest, we're still embarassed when we're sitting with a group of friends who don't know at dinner and he walks in and your best friend makes a face and kicks you under the table. Real subtle.

The one where you convince yourself you're forever alone

"He's never going to see me as anything more of a friend," you wallow to your friend over ice cream and a chick flick. You do one of three things at this stage, you wallow, you move on and live and learn or....

The one where you start dating

Don't ask me what happens at this one because I haven't gotten to this point quite yet, but I'm sure your friends will make it awkward somehow but you still love them anyways even if you don't know why sometimes.
