Hello faithful readers, Mom and a few teachers from my elementary school,

Before I begin, I want to acknowledge that I'll be pausing my Talking About Mental Illness series until school begins in the fall. I want to put my full effort and attention into both the learning and writing process for those sorts of articles, and this summer is turning out to be a lot more hectic that I originally planned. That being said, the series is not over, and I'm still looking for personal testimonies and advice.

Secondly, after I receive feedback from this article I will decide whether or not to keep up with "Big Brother" via my Odyssey articles.

Okay, let's just get down to business. (If you have no clue what BB is, click here). My first BONE to pick with the producers of BB this season is in regards to the first house guest evicted this summer: Glenn.

Now, Glenn was not like the other house guests. Destined to be the Donny from BB16 of his season, Glenn did not fit in with the other house guests because of his age and appearance. Riddle me this, readers: in today's society, sex sells. We all know it. It seems we've all accepted it, so when the first evicted house guest of the season was Glenn, no one really shed a tear. I'm not sure how this is fair, considering there are already 15 other hot singles to objectify in the cast. The competition that sealed Glenn's fate was a physical challenge against which he battled three young, fit, 20-somethings. It seems like this was just a little too convenient for BB's viewing stats. Why take the outcast out? Making Big Brother Great Again? No, that doesn't sound right...

Moving forward, this season has four veterans: Nicole (BB16), James and Da'Vonne (BB17), and Frank (BB14). Each of the veterans is on a team with at most three other house guests, all Newbies to the game. While a team-aspect is not a new twist from Big Brother, I am interested in seeing how the loyalty between teams will take priority over the loyalty to an alliance, or maybe vice versa. Also, the Road Kill competition? Hell yeah.

Finally, if you're ever wondering how NOT to play the BB game, refer to lovely Jozea's few minutes of fame in the house. Technically the second house guest evicted, Jozea was a lot of talk, conspiring with some shady and flaky people to get HOH Nicole out of the house. But, Nicole was literally HOH and those shady and flaky people were first in line at her door! So of course Jozea was put on the block as the number one target. Did this change Jozea's tune? No. He continually believed and preached that he was the messiah of the Newbies. Really, Jozea? Because it looks like their messiah was just crucified.

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.
