Dear Boyfriend/Girlfriend

You put up with me on a daily basis. Here's an open letter to you.

Despite how much of a pain you are, he/she chose you. Here's an open letter to the person who looked past all your flaws and loves you for who you are:

Dear Boyfriend/Girlfriend,

I don't know how you do it.

I don't know how you love me on a daily basis. I'm a spoiled brat, I'm insecure, I'm stubborn, I get frustrated easily, yet you love me anyway. You don't need to shower me with gifts to show me that. You treat me with respect. You say good morning and good night every day. You make sure I've eaten. You make sure I'm wearing my seat-belt when we're driving around. You've taught me how to say "I love you" through actions rather than words.

You have never let me down. I can always count on you to be there. You let me depend on you when I can't depend on myself. You pick me up and dust me off when I fall. You hold me while I cry (even when I'm not sure why I'm upset. You've allowed me to feel nothing but loved and safe.

I know how stupid and selfish I can be sometimes. I take you for granted. I get mad at you. I fight with you. I bring up stuff that has happened in the past. I worry over stuff I shouldn't worry about. However, you've never given up on me. I'm sorry for all the stuff I know I've put you through.

I finally know what true love feels like. I know how to love someone because of you. You've been nothing but perfect and I owe you the world. It's scary because I actually have something to lose but I hope I never have to live this lifetime without you. You're my other half; my person.

I love you.

Sincerely,

Yours Truly

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.
