College is a place where you make friends and figure out who you are. When you are in college, you gain a wide range of friends that you might not even realize you have.

These are 13 types of friends you have in college.

1. The friends you go out with.

Giphy

Pretty sure everyone has a specific girl gang that when they all get together, the night ends with a lot of weird drunk Snapchats and cry sessions over how much you love each other.

2. Your friend's friends.

You hang out with them when your friends are around, but going up to them when your friends aren't around feels awk.

3. You roommates.

Giphy

You worry when they don't come home, you cook meals together and you hang out in your PJs and discuss your days together. You're basically married.

4. The friend that is just as horrible as you.

Giphy

Sometimes you need to rant or make stupid decisions and just have someone who gets and encourages it.

5. You friends from home.

Giphy

They will always have a place in your heart. They are proof that long distance relationships can work.

6. Friends you study with.

Giphy

We all have one friend who lives in the library and is always super stressed about their grades and inspires you to stress about yours as well.

7. The friend you sit next to in class.

You ONLY see them in class and they are always your partner for assignments. The people you sit next to earn a special place in your heart for getting through the semester with you.

8. The friend you make plans with but never actually hangout with.

Giphy

You guys always end up canceling or never make the time to do anything.

9. Your work friends.

Giphy

These people somehow know all of your deepest and darkest secrets, even though you may never see them outside of work.

10. The friends you soft smile at in public but hug and talk to while drunk.

Acquaintances? Maybe that's what you call them...

11. Friend with the boyfriend/fling/hookup that you HATE.

Giphy

She insists on bringing him around but you really can't stand the stupid smug look on his face.

12. The person you want to be best friends with but they are too cool for you.

Giphy

Her Instagram feed is perfect. Her wardrobe is perfect. She's nice AND pretty. Just striving to have your life seem as put together as hers.

13. Your friend with all of the connections.

Giphy

This girl knows every bouncer, can get you free Uber rides and you can't go out in public with her without AT LEAST five people recognizing her and saying hi.

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.

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.
