Dear Long Distance Best Friends

Distance, although tough, does make the heart grow fonder.

Dear Long Distance Best Friends,

There are so many things that I want to tell you but over text or Facetime is not the place to do it. I wish you were all here with me but distance makes the heart grow fonder.

  1. Thank you for being my worst critics but my absolute number one fans. Without you I would not be half the person I am today. Thank you for always pushing me through the hard, long nights of college when I buried waist deep in papers, without you I would have drowned. Thank you for constantly checking up on me because being away from home and you guys has clearly not been the easiest on me.
  2. I know you will make new best friends and that somedays I will be just a faint face in the back of your mind and others your thoughts will be occupied by my stupid jokes. I hope that your new friends will treat you with the utmost respect because you deserve nothing less than perfection. If they don’t treat you how I would treat you then please have the slightest bit of self-awareness to leave that toxic friendship because then that is all you will expect.
  3. When we return on breaks know that thing will have changed and there is nothing we can do about it. I will come back with words you have never heard before and you the same. DO NOT get frustrated when I say “wicked” or “mad” or any other New England term because it comes naturally in the habitat. All of my stories will be with people you have no idea and I do appreciate you trying to memorize all of their names even though 6 of them are all named Matt and 3 of them are all named Chris, it will only get easier from here.
  4. Never forget that I am proud of everything you have accomplished and all that you are to become because any accomplishment, no matter how small, is a huge deal! Even when you fail an assignment know that I will be in your corner, rooting you on because I will NEVER give up on you, especially on your hardest days.
  5. If we grow distant, please know that I am trying my best to keep up with you and we could go days without talking. Please understand that I did not forget about just our schedules do not line up but I am ALWAYS thinking about you.

I love you all so much and no one could ever replace you. Forever and always my loves!

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.
