Wandering Star,

You've come a long way in your life. You've had your ups and downs, and right now you're down again. You've come to the end of your lucky streak, and it feels like every turn you make leads to a tougher road to travel on. I know it may seem like this is the end of your world, but it's not. You've survived worse, and you'll survive this too.

I'm not sure what's getting you down, but whether it's a bad relationship, a lost opportunity, or just tough situations in every day life, you've got this. You absolutely have the strength within you to push on. I promise you, this situation may be devastating now, but it is so small in the grand scheme of things. Do not let yourself stay at rock bottom. You have to keep your chin up if you want to make it out of this.

Here's what you do: take a day and have a good cry. Give yourself 24 hours to be sad and let all of your emotions out. You can spend a day binge-watching Nicholas Sparks movies and sobbing into a pint of ice cream, and just let it all out. After that, pick yourself up off the ground and remember who you are. Remember that you are incredible. Remember your dreams and goals, and don't let anything keep you from going where you need to go in life. Remember that this person, opportunity, or situation does not define your worth. What you're going through is meant to make you stronger. Everything happens for a reason, including this.

I won't lie to you; you're going to have more bad days. You're going to have even worse days. Just remember that you should never let a bad day or a bad or desperate mood sacrifice who you are. Never let yourself sink to a level that makes you into a different person. Remember that nobody and nothing can strip you of your dignity.

Sweet girl, i just want you to know that there is at least one person out there who cares about you. I want you to know that you're important and your thoughts and opinions absolutely matter. I want you to know that you're already perfect the way you are, and that you don't need to try to impress anyone or make anyone think that you're someone you're not. I want you to know that you can do whatever your heart is set on. You will make your dreams come true as long as you keep your chin up and stay focused on your goals. You don't need the approval of people who will only drag you down. You need only to surround yourself with people who build you up and support you in everything you do.

You deserve better.

You deserve happiness.

You deserve love.

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.

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.
