10 Reasons Why You Should Live With Your Best Friends

We've all heard the advice to never live with your best friends in college if you want to keep them as friends. But like all advice that has ever been given to me, I chose to ignore it and I'm so glad I did.

Living with your best friends in college could end disastrously or it could be the best decision of your life. For me, it was the latter. Here's a few perks of living with your best friends as told by the best group of buddies that has ever been: the Friends cast.

You live with your own personal stylists

It may not work out the best every time, but at least they tried.

And your own chauffeur

Whether you need a ride to class or to the bars, at least one of your roommates will probably be there. And the ride is sure to be terrifying fun.

They know how to have a good time

Because sometimes you need to hide from your responsibilities in a blanket fort with the people that really care about you.

You live with your biggest fans

Aced a test? Got a job? Woke up and went to class today? They already know about it and are so #proud of you.

And you know they'll be there for you when you come home upset

There's no way you're getting away with crying yourself to sleep, alone. They'll know you're upset and they'll cry it out with you.

You can do the weirdest things together

And you know it will definitely get captured on someone's snapchat story.

You can always be yourself

No matter how strange your inner self may be.

Dance parties are a given

Whether it's at the Friday night pregame or someone just has High School Musical stuck in their head, dancing on the coffee table is not an uncommon activity.

You're not afraid to put them in their place

And they're not afraid to put you in yours. You can tell them honestly how annoying they're being and don't have to worry about sparing their feelings.

But at the end of the day, you know they'll always have your back.

And you'll have theirs.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
