Dear One Year Ago Me

This year holds so many special things.

Dear Me One Year Ago,

There is so much I wish you knew. I know that right now, you are freaking out. Life seems crazy and weird and a lot seems like it's changing.

You are uncertain about your major, which is scary. You've thought for so long that all you wanted to do with your life is teach, but suddenly, that seems like a pretty daunting thing. The thought of waking up every morning and going into a classroom seems frustrating and unthinkable. Don't worry. With about 20 minutes to spare, you make the leap and change your major. It's one of the best choices you will make.

You are heartbroken over that boy. I know that it seems like you might never get over him, but guess what! You do. You get over him and you heal from what seems like the worst heartbreak ever. You know what else? You come out on the other side stronger.

That drive that seems way to daunting to make? Yeah, the one to your parents' house that takes you through L.A. traffic, it's not as terrifying now. It's still not fun to get stuck in rush hour traffic, but it's not impossible to survive. You will make that drive several times in the near future.

And this one is probably the most exciting one. You know that weight you're trying to lose? You start to. After being fed up with it, you make a serious change. You are down 50 pounds and you're still losing weight. You feel better overall, although it's slightly frustrating that none of your jeans fit right.

Just know that no matter how rough things seem, this year brings so many great changes for you. Keep your head up.

Sincerely,

You: One Year From Now

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.
