Top 10 Must-Do Things With Your College Bestie

Madison Briley

Remember that one time you held your college bestie's hair while she threw up from the drinks after that one party? Yeah, me too, and I wouldn't trade that memory for anything. These are the times when the memories you make with the people around you will stick around for a lifetime. Think of these things as a bucket-list, because you will not want to go your next few years of college without doing these 10 things with your college bestie. Here we go...

1. Go on a weekend trip.

What is more fun than traveling the world with your bestie? Absolutely nothing. It is crucial that you plan a weekend getaway with your best friend before you graduate. Whether it be across the world, or just in another state. It is so fun to get away from your campus for a weekend, and experience new things!

2. Visit your hometowns.

This sounds just like the Bachelor....but, no seriously go! It is such a fun time getting to know where your college bestie is from, and where she/he grew up. It will really make your friendship grow so much, and give you both the opportunity to see family as well. You will get to know all the good food spots, their favorite places to go as kids, and meet some of their old high school friends!

3. Get creative!

This could be anything from painting, drawing, or even finding a new hobby. I know for myself the biggest stress reliever is painting, so I always drag my college bestie to do it with me. It makes it fun, therapeutic, and also gives you new paintings to hang in your rooms!

4. Go to a concert.

This is hands down one of the most fun things I have done with my college bestie. Concerts are so much fun, especially if you are both obsessed with the performer. What is one concert you and your bestie would love to go to? We have Justin Bieber next!!

5. Work out.

Work out classes are a great way to have fun, but also stay in shape with your bestie. It creates a great team work type bond, and you can both hold one another accountable. I definitely encourage you to join a workout class or just go on a run with your bestie. Trust me, you will feel great afterwards!

6. Pull an all-nighter.

All-nighters are hard as college students, especially since we have so much homework 24/7, but one night you need to do this. Just stay up all night with your bestie, talk about everything, and binge your favorite TV series. It would be the most fun girls night in.

7. Go to the beach.

Nothing is better than going to tan all day at the beach with your bestie! Obviously depending on where you go to college, it could be challenging to do so. If you live far from the beach for college, take the weekend getaway to the beach! You won't regret it.

8. Go to a sporting event together.

Whether it be football, baseball, basketball, or soccer, a sporting event with your bestie is going to definitely show how competitive you both are! Go cheer on your college team, wear your cutest game-day outfits, and eat the best tailgate food.

9. Some good ol' retail therapy.

My bestie and I go to Target every Sunday to have ourselves retail therapy. What is the store that you and your bestie go to to have yourself some retail therapy? It is both soothing and a super fun thing to do!

10. Take as many pictures as possible.

I cannot stress how important it is to take pictures all the time with your bestie in college! These memories will last for a lifetime, but how cool would it be to look back in a photo album at all the crazy times you have had with your bestie? Pictures last forever, and I promise you won't regret taking pictures of everything!

These are the top 10 must-do things with your college bestie, so go do them! It will make college with your bestie unforgettable, and iconic. These days in college do not last forever, but these memories will last a lifetime!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
