If I Had Never Met My Big

If I had never met you, things would be completely and totally different.

If I Had Never Met My Big
Rebekah Anderson Barrett

When I arrived at school this fall, I never imagined that I would meet someone who would make such a large impact on my life. You have been such an unbelievable blessing and such an amazing friend. I will never be able to express to you how special you are to me.

From the moment I met you, I knew we would become friends. What I did not know, though, is how important you would be to me in such a short period of time. Without having met you, I am certain things would be very different today.

Had I not met you, I would no longer be attending the same school. Without your amazing advice and crucial impact in my life, I would have given up on things getting better and I would have transferred schools.

If I had never met you, I would be without one of my best friends, my most reliable friend, and the friend I can always count on for advice and for absolutely anything at all. I cannot imagine missing out on a friend like that.

If we had never crossed paths, I would never have gotten to experience with you all of the late night chats and study sessions, the super late night runs to Cookout, the long drives and life talks, and so much more.

If we hadn’t ever shared a class, I would not have all the sweet gifts and precious notes from you that I will treasure forever.

If I never saw your face, I would have missed out on all the pep talks, the great advice, and the often-necessary tough love.

If we had never encountered, I would never know the way friendship should look, and would continue to settle in so many relationships, unaware of how relationships are supposed to feel.

If you had never introduced yourself, I would never have learned how important having a reliable and trustworthy friend is.

If we never learned each others’ names, I would be without such an amazing friend, role model, Sister, and so much more.

If you and I had never spoken, I would never have met my destined Big Sister, my biggie, and my lobster.

I love you to the moon and back and without you I would be in shambles. So many times you have helped to pick me up and get me moving again, and never have you become impatient with me. You have had an amazing impact in my life and I will never be able to thank you enough for loving me so unconditionally.

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.
