An Open Letter To My Biological Best Friend
Kaitlyn Oatridge

Little brother,

You always hear about siblings not getting along. There's constant arguing, constant fighting. It never ends. Siblings aren't always close. Some don't talk. Some hardly talk. Some siblings couldn't care less about each other.

But that's not us.

We're as close as can be. Sure, we fight, but it's never about anything serious. We talk everyday.

You're my absolute best friend.

I couldn't imagine life without our constant bickering and joking around. I love hanging out in your room until 5 AM while you're playing video games. I love running around stores and acting like we're five years old. I love having someone to talk to about anything and everything. All in all, I love having you as a brother.

It's weird being at college, so far away from you. I've never been away from you for more than a week. It's extremely difficult. I don't have my little cuddle buddy whenever I need you. I don't have my best friend.

I know I had promised we would talk every night. I'm so sorry I haven't been able to keep that promise. Life is different now. Things are changing and I'm having a very hard time adjusting. But that's also why I need you. All throughout my life, you've never left my side. I know that technically, you really don't have a choice. But you go above and beyond. You always know how to make a frown into a smile. You never fail to make me laugh. You've never let me down. I can never thank you enough for that.

I wish I could be there with you right now. You're in a new place and you're meeting all these new people and discovering this whole new life. Just like I am. I want to help you through it. I want to be there to hold your hand and guide you when you need help. I want you to know I'll always be here to support you, no matter when and no matter how far I am.

You're going to turn into an amazing man one day. I can't wait to be there to see that. To see you graduate, to see you get married, to see you live. I want to be there for it all. I want you to have the best that the world can offer you.

I can't wait to see you again. I'm going to give you the biggest hug, and I'm never going to want to let go. I miss you. I love you. Thank you for being my best friend.

Love,

Your big sister

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. 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.
