11 Things You Know from Being in a Group Friendship

If you’re one of the lucky ones that kept a large group of friends through high school, you know that things are different from having just one best friend. The more the merrier, right? 11. The group message blows up at the most inconvenient times. You love your friends, until you leave your phone for 15 minutes and come back to 87 messages. You thought you were safe to leave your phone off during class: you were wrong. 10. You have to fight to get a word in. When you’re all together, you have to raise your hand for a few minutes before anyone gets the hint that you have something important to say.

18 Types of Poop All College Students Have Encountered

18. The Houdini boringplace.com Bet you didn’t think that your poop had some magic tricks up its sleeves. The Houdini is a magical poop that has already disappeared when you check the toilet to admire your work.

College Students Portrayed by One Tree Hill Characters

One Tree Hill was a TV show on The CW that was full of drama, basketball, friendships, romantic relationships, and more. Many of us know everything about the characters and at times we loved them and at others, we hated them. One Tree Hill has characters ranging from brooding Peyton Sawyer, who every angsty teenager related with, to the sassy, but sensitive Brooke Davis, to the smart and down to earth Haley James Scott. Although much of this show takes place when they are in high school or out of college, there’s many moments where college students can relate to how the characters felt. 11. When you are assigned a group project and nobody else does anything so you accomplish everything on your own and vow to always be by yourself.  10.

10 Statements Unique To Small Schools

Being someone that chose a smaller university, I have realized vast differences between us small school attendees than those who attend a larger university. Somewhere between the walks to class every day and the few house parties every weekend, we fell into a routine that is oddly unique to us.

Resetting Your Biological Clock When you go back to school, it’s no longer possible to get up at three in the afternoon, and your body has a difficult time accepting that. 8. Missing Homemade Meals The first time going back to the cafeteria after break is rough – really rough. 7. Showing Off Your Brand New Christmas Swag 6. The First Essay Due After Break
