An open letter to my ex best friend

Let me start off by saying this, I do not hate you. In all honesty, I wish nothing but the best for you. It took me a long time to realize this, but the best thing for both of us may just be to not have each other. God puts everyone in our lives for a reason. The reasons may not be what we perceived them to be in the beginning, but maybe the reason was to teach us a lesson or to guide us down a new path. Do you remember when we would talk about our future lives? You told me what job you wanted, what kind of house you wanted, even what you wanted your kids to look and act like. I want that for you, in fact, I am rooting for you. I may not be rooting for you on the sidelines or the front row, but I'm way in the back somewhere cheering you on. I'm even going to be there when you are going through hardships, but rather you being in my arms crying while I hug you, you're going to be in my prayers. I want to thank you for everything that we have been through together, and teaching me life lessons you probably don't even know you taught me. So let's go back to what I said in the beginning, I said: "I do not hate you". I mean that. I may have hated what you did, hated what you said, and hated how it ended. But, I also loved what we had, loved things you said, and loved the memories we had together. Nobody can replace those, and I hope you can make new ones with your new best friend. So the next time you're in the car and you hear our song, smile and throw a car concert. Next time you see the boy I had a crush on, laugh and walk away thinking of how awkward I would have just acted. And next time you think of the horrible fight we got into, think about how we both forgave each other and that's all in our past now. So go on, and start applying for those jobs and keep planning your perfect life on Pinterest, because it's gonna happen. I mean come on, if anyone knows you, it's me and I know you can do this.

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.

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.
