To My Childhood Best Friend

To my childhood best friend,

You’ve been in my life for as long as I can remember. You were part of every precious memory of my childhood. Whether we were shopping at the mall, hanging out by the pool, or taking trips to the beach, we were always together, and never bored. You’ve been there for me through all my awkward stages, held my hand when things went wrong, and laughed at every joke I made -- and you still do.

You’re not really my friend. You’re more like family. I know the family jokes, where you hide the good food so your dad won’t eat it all, and I have been to so many family get togethers I know all of your family, including the extended cousins who come in just for Christmas. Even though, at some point of our lives, we weren’t in the same school, or even the same state, our friendship has never weakened. We can go weeks, even months, without seeing each other, and as soon as we are together again it’s like nothing has changed. We can sit in silence and just enjoy each other’s company. We can talk for hours without being interrupted by the outside world. We can fight like crazy and make up two seconds later.

Our friendship is not perfect. We have grown up together and, sometimes, we have disagreed. We may not have the same faith life, and don’t you dare bring up politics. No matter what arguments, challenges or troubles come our way, we always come out stronger than before. You open my eyes and right my wrongs, and you make me a better person. You’ve seen me cry uncontrollably and laugh so hard that I snort. Most importantly, you’ve seen it all and you still accept me for who I am.

Thank you for all the wonderful years of friendship. I have enjoyed every single one. From every awkward picture to midnight conversations about the rest of our lives, you’ve always been by my side. I am so lucky to call you my best friend.

No matter where life takes us, you will always remind me of my greatest moments as well as my most embarrassing ones.

Love always,

Your forever best friend.

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.

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.
