An Open Letter To My Support System

You were the ones I leaned on.

To Those Who Support Me,

I have never been a weak person who needed help often, but when life knocked me down you were always there to help me get back on my feet. So many times in life we focus on the material things and the relationships that stem from them. Almost everyone in my generation is so attached to their smartphones and social media that keep us interconnected through the web, but not many of us are able to sit with a friend in silence and know that there is something wrong.

I am so thankful for everyone in my life, but especially my support system because they are what keep me going on a day-to-day basis when I don't think I can go or fight anymore. Even at my lowest point you were there to sit with me and tell me that everything would work out the way it was supposed to and that I was one of the strongest and most stubborn people that you know and that I could get through this.

You never let me down and even when I gave up on myself, you were there to guide me while I walked in the dark. I just hope that one day I will be able to be as supportive and kind as you have been to me.

Thank You from the bottom of my heart,

Sincerely,

An Eternally Grateful Friend

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.
