20 Best Things About Getting Together With Your College Squad In Your 20s

by Alexa Mellardo

Your college squad takes on a new level when it comes to friendship.

Some of us are blessed to still consider our college homies our best friends, and an integral part of our lives. We made the same important decision of choosing to attend the college we did. That says a lot, right off the bat, about the bond we share.

We made irreplaceable memories throughout those four years, and we wouldn't trade them for the world.

We take pride in the questionable decision of ordering cheesy bread one too many times when we were drunk because YOLO.

When the time came to throw our graduation caps in the air and jump for joy, it was the beginning of a new, bittersweet chapter. It was time to bid farewell to our amazing college years and pave our way in the real world.

For those of us who don't live close enough to our main squad, getting together with them is all the more special when we do. Here are the 20 best things about getting together with your college crew in your 20s.

1. You always laugh about the first (ratchet) frat rager you went to freshman year.

2. You were on the same page since day one, and continue that vibe throughout your 20s.

3. The new inside jokes and memories you make together at this stage of life are just as funny as the ones you had in college.

4. Time spent with the mains ALWAYS makes for a fun getaway. It's what gets you through the week when you're having the work week from hell.

8. You had the absolute time of your lives studying abroad together, and have a reunion trip in the works.
