No Matter Who You Are, Everyone Needs A Good Friend Group

Family is born into your life while friends are people who choose to be in your life. A good friend group is something that everyone needs, whether it is only two others or ten.Friends are always there to pick you up when you need them. Friends are the most important people that you can choose to surround yourself with. They help to make up who you are.

A good friend is the kind of person that you know will not only be there when you are having the best day of your life but also the worse day imaginable. Everyone deserves that type of friend. A solid friendship is one that will grow old with you, one that does not stop because of distance or minor disagreements.

Friendships that you hope your kids find as they grow older.As you move on in your life you will meet every kind of person there is. Tall, short, white, black, maybe even purple. People that you would never expect to meet or even find yourself communicating with.

These are the best people.

People from different backgrounds and nationalities that you can put all of your differences aside and find what things you do have in common. Do not get me wrong, it's amazing to have friends just like you. It is great to find people close that are just like you, that you can bond with but get out of your comfort zone.

Find someone that you wouldn't normally talk to, form a friendship and see what you learn. You do not have to have a "clique" or a "squad". Those people normally are not the greatest group of friends anyone.

Two solid, never back down individuals that you know will always have your back through every adventure or detour is the best thing that you could have. Find those people, enjoy your life with them and never let them go. Your life will suddenly become so much brighter.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
