Dear My Forever Freshman, I'm Sorry I Left You

Please know I will always believe in you and I am only a phone call, text, or a snapchat away.

Dear My forever freshman,

I know. I know. I left you and I never come home anymore, and we barely keep our snap streak alive. I’m sorry I really I am but I am having the time of my life at college. I understand why my friendships with my upperclassmen friends faded away.

It's because here I can disagree with people and still be friends I don’t have to have the same views as them and we can still be friends without any petty drama. But that being said it doesn’t mean I don’t miss you.

I’m sorry that I snapchat you 40 times a day, I know you are in school but I do it so that I keep you on my best friends list. I know that I don’t reply until weird times because your schedule runs on a different clock than mine. To you midnight is midnight to me it's like 8 p.m. but 8 a.m is definitely 8 a.m. I love seeing your smiling face whenever I can. I will continue to call at random times just to hear your voice so I can pretend that I am not as far away.

This is hard for me too. I miss you guys every day, there are so many things I wish you were here for. But I know that you need to have your time in high school. I know you will hear this a lot but it goes by so fast, I mean to think that I graduated seven months ago is insane. So please slow down you will get here soon enough.

Do I miss high school? No...Not in the least bit, but I do miss the activities. YES!! I miss taking pictures at football games and singing Hamilton in Choir and all the time I got to spend with you guys. But that’s about it. They say you start to find in High School but that’s a lie in my opinion. Here in college, that’s where you find yourself but don’t rush it because life is a lot harder here. You need that in high school to help figure it out.

I am so proud of everything you have accomplished both in and out of school. I can’t believe how much you have grown in the short time I’ve been gone and I can’t wait to watch you continue to blow everyone out of the water whether that be on the stage, in the classroom, or on the court. I want you to remember that even though I’m not there watching you shoot free throws, preform, or rock it on the kit that I am always proud.

Please know I will always believe in you and I am only a phone call, text, or a snapchat away. I may not always have the answer but I will always listen. And when I am home I will always be ready for the tackle hug.

Love,

Momika

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.
