There is no uncertainty, just adventure

As i am sitting on my couch in my hometown of Quincy ma, the thoughts of packing and moving back into school next week are floating all over my head.

The same thoughts were wandering around my brain at this time last year, but the thoughts were a lot different than last year.

Last year was stressful. What do i pack? What do i do? What if i make no friends? What if i fail out?

I know what to pack. I know what to do. I have friends. I will not fail out.

This year i'm sitting back with a cup of coffee packing my clothes, putting my notebooks in a bin and watching my favorite shows as I'm doing it.

This year is exciting because i already know everything on campus and know what i need to do to be successful. I know how I want to and should be spending my time during the semester.

I know how much clothes to bring before thanksgiving, and (to some degree) know how much time i need to be studying.

There is so uncertainty, there is just adventure.

Here's to sophomore year.

The year of knowing.

The year of growing.

The year of taking a leap.

It's going to be a great one.

Let's go class of 2019, the best is ahead of us.

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.
