When your house is the hot spot, life is fun

Simple as that, just fun.

All throughout high school, my friends and I were always at my house. On weekends, during the summer, my house was just to the go to house. After football games and Sunday mornings for breakfast, we were all together at my house.

Now, I am in college and yes still living at home, my friends continue to come over. My little brother is now a freshman in high school, and his friends are also always here.

My mom never comes home after work to just her two kids, she comes home to all her kids.

When you have the 'go to' house and the 'cool' parents, life is just simply fun.

There is always someone over, and there is rarely any quiet time. Even when my brother and I don't have friends over, we are still hanging out together. We cherish the time that us two just get to hang out, but we also love having our friends over.

While having a 'hang out' house is fun, the cleaning is endless, and we go through food like you wouldn't believe. Oh, and toilet paper.

Summers are full of quality time with your friends, and you make memories that will last a lifetime.

Your friends and siblings become close, and your sibling's friends become your friends. Your parents gain a handful of kids they didn't ask for, but love like they are their own.

Having the 'go to' house and 'cool' parents is such a blessing and I wouldn't want to live life any other way.

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.
