An Open Letter To My People

Thanks for being there no matter what and loving me through it all.

My people,

I am writing to you guys to say thank you. We've only been friends for a couple of months but you guys have been my biggest supporters and encouragers. You guys have seen the tears and the melt-downs and have been there to pick me back up if I'm laughing it's probably because one of y'all made a joke or I remember something that happened (like someone falling down the stairs). When things have felt like they were crumbling you guys were there to tell me it's gonna be okay, encourage me, hug me and shove food in my mouth.

You guys are the people I couldn't imagine my life without, we haven't been friends super long but we've definitely had some good times the short time we've been friends. You are the ones who I could call at 2:00 a.m. if something was wrong but y'all are also the ones that I can celebrate with when good grades come or good news come. When I have decisions to make whether it be what coffee to order or what kind of fish I want to get or whatever it may be you guys are there to help me with those decisions.

Even though I fight with you guys about what's best all the time I know I should listen to y'all because in some cases you guys really do know best and are helping me out. You guys are the ones I can tell my crazy dreams and life goals to and you won't make fun of me no matter how ridiculous it might be. But you will push me higher and higher and believe in me even when I don't and I'm grateful for that. And theres nothing like jamming out to disney or Les Mis when we know we should be studying. I also wouldn't trade our car jam sessions and late nights talk for the world. And when I get moody or sassy you guys know whether to threaten me with sassy juice or just to leave me alone and let me lay on the floor. I am certain whether you live upstairs or across the world, you'd drop everything and be there if I needed you.

You guys are also are going to be honest whether I want you to be or not, whether it be about that guy I like I shouldn't or when I need to get my life together or if I'm just being plain dumb. You guys are the ones who would tickle me until I pee everywhere or make me laugh until I cry and I know no matter how much I need y'all, y'all need me too. So, a huge thanks to you guys for being my people. I love you guys so much!

You guys are my people, and you always will be my people.

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.
