10 Things We Forget To Thank Our Parents For
Kelsey Simeone

From the time we are little, we always can depend on our parents for anything and everything. Whether this be teaching us how to ride a bike, or sending us a care package up at school, they're always there for us. They're the first people we call when something goes wrong, when we've messed up big time or even when we've received really exciting news. Mom and Dad answer the phone no matter what time, no matter where they are. Because we can always count on them, we take them for granted. Here are 10 things we forget to thank our parents for:

1. For always forgiving us.

No matter how bad we mess up or how many stupid things we do, they're always the first to forgive us.

2. For teaching us the most valuable life lessons.

Anywhere from "you can only change yourself" to "every dog has their day," the most valuable things we learn come from mom and dad.

3. For always being on our side.

Taylor Swift said it best: "I knew you were on my side even when I was wrong."

4. For helping us chase our dreams.

No matter how big or small.

5. For always being just a phone call away.

Whether is 11 pm or 6 am, mom or dad always answer within the first few rings.

6. For being our main supporters.

No matter what dream we're chasing, we can always count on mom and dad to support us no matter what.

7. For shaping us into who we are.

We wouldn't be who we are without you.

8. For teaching us right from wrong.

9. For giving the best advice.

10. For loving us unconditionally.

Mom and Dad, a million thank you's would never be enough.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
