Relationships

For My Grandparents

You guys deserve so much and I don't know where to begin

Dear Grammi and Granddad,

Through the years you guys have been two of my biggest supporters and I feel as though I've never thanked you enough, so here it is.

You two have aided me with so many opportunities just as your son, my father, has and I thank you guys for that immensely. I thank you for being my safe haven and giving me a place to escape and call my own, even if I don't live anywhere near you guys. Life gets murky and sometimes I just need to get away from the crazy day to day life where I am and I'm glad that I am able to go to you guys for comfort.

Thank you for being such amazing role models and for accepting me for who I was no matter what. I know that I wouldn't be where I am today if it weren't for these things. Hearing the words, "we're proud of you," "we love you," and "you're growing into such a great woman," are always greatly appreciated and you guys have no idea how much they truly mean to me.

Thank you for being my best friends. Some may think it's lame that in my list of best friends, three of them are my family but I think it's just wicked, not everyone gets to be so close to their family as I get to be. Whenever good things happen to me, or just things in general happen, you guys are some of the first people I tell. I will forever be grateful to have such a wonderful relationship with you guys despite the distance and the absent years between us.

You may no longer be right down the road, but you are always a text or phone call away.

Thank you guys so much,

I love you.

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.
