An open letter to my best friends leaving me for college

Dear Best friends leaving me for college next year,

First, I just want to say thank you.

Thank you for the countless laughs.

Thank you for the countless car rides-talking, laughing, and singing together.

Thank you for always having time to listen.

Thank you for always accepting and supporting me.

Thank you for the late night talks, laughs, and sonic runs.

Thank you for being the people that I can share a relationship with that nobody truly understands but us.

Thank you for no matter how long we go without seeing each other or talking, we can always pick up where we left of.

Thank you for being some of my best friends and always having my back. I truly can't thank you enough.

Second, I just want to tell you how proud I am of you. As sad as it is to think about you leaving in just 4 months, I couldn't be more proud of you. I see the success in you that you don't always see in yourself. I've seen all the hard work and determination it has taken you to get to this moment. Whether its persuing your baseball career at USC, becoming an engineer at Clemson, or studying business at Ole Miss, I'm so proud of you and can't wait to see where the future takes you.

Lastly, I just want you to know how much i'll miss you. I'll miss having you right down the road 24/7. I'll miss the late night porch talks. I'll miss seeing your face in the hallways at school. I'll miss going to all your athletic games. I'll miss seeing your parents all the time and hugging them like they're my own. Despite all of this, Im so so so excited for you. How exciting it is that you get to go off on your own and experience the world for yourself!

A few things I ask of you:

Don't lose sight of who you are in this great, big world.

Don't forget where you came from.

Don't forget ill always just be a text/phone call away.

Don't forget about me.

& last but not least, Don't forget how much I love you always.

Love,

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.

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. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
