Dear December 2017 Me,

How was your year? First, let me get the shallow questions out of the way: Did Twenty One Pilots come out with a new album? Did you get to go to any more rock concerts? Did you get a new phone?

On a more serious note, how much of an adult are you? No pressure, but I hope 23 year old college graduate Jen is further along in that process than 22 year old college senior Jen. Are you living on your own? Do you at least have a job? An internship? Even if you're not as far along as you should be, remember the important thing is to be working your hardest at whatever you do.

What was your favorite part of 2017? What was your least favorite part? I hope 2017 was better than 2016. What has God been teaching you? Is there a church you've been regularly attending? Much like the adulting thing, remember the important thing is to be making the effort to learn more about God's love.

lthyHow is your social life? Are you in healthy friendships devoted to mutually building one another up?

I'm sure you've done great this year, Jen. Remember the important things are to work hard, love God and others. Oh, and to keep writing. But you already knew that.

Love,

December 2016 Jen

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.
