A Letter To My Forever Friend

Thank you for making me the best me.

A Letter To My Forever Friend

I have had many great friendships in my 18 years of life, but none of them have compared to ours and for that I am grateful because you are the truest of all my friends. We have been friends since middle school and have faced many obstacles that would have torn any regular friendship apart by now, and that is why I say we are forever.

Dear Jershai,

I remember the first day we met like it was yesterday. We were in middle school, and you were a year younger than me, but somehow you bypassed the schools "top flight" security to sit down at the table every morning instead of standing. I think that is when I knew you were an over all bad ass and you were going to be my friend. Our first conversation was about Pretty Liars (because Teen Wolf was not a "cool" thing yet).

As the next two years went on our friendship grew closer, and I realized more and more everyday that you were someone I could tell anything and not face any judgement for it; For that I am forever grateful as well and could never provide you enough thanks. When I graduated and went to high school we still had weekly conversations and talked just like we used to because of the glorious invention of Face Time.

While we did not see each other very often we were able to maintain our friendship where if left off every single time. We texted basically all day and we still do now. In addition to being a best friend you are also a sister to me. Your problems are mine and my problems are yours.

Fast forward to now, I graduated high school in May, I was so unsure if we would still be able to maintain our friendship after I moved 101 miles away to go to college, and yet we did. Our bond is arguably closer than it was when we lived in the same city; for that I am grateful. This year is your senior year of high school, and I just wish you understood how great it was and that eventually this time next year you will be living hundreds of miles away from home and living with someone who is arguably a complete stranger to you.

When I was going through school you gave me a reason to go, and actually try. You were the person I wanted to be a better person for. Thank you for not allowing me to disappoint you, or myself.

Love you mostest,

Kylee (a.k.a Big Momma)

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. 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.
