Mom, Love You Forever

And I'll like you for always.

Dear Mom,

I just want you to know that you are the strongest and most courageous woman I have ever known. My biggest accomplishment is knowing you are proud of me and all the things I do while I'm away at school.

I remember when I was little, I used to always say that I did not want to go to college but you always insisted that I didn't really have a choice, and I was going anyway. Thank you for pushing me to always succeed and put in all of my effort in everything that I try to do. When I was learning to read, you told me that I needed to learn to read because you won't always be there to read the menu for me at restaurants. And even though I now know how to read, I still wish you were here with me to read the menu.

We might have our ups and downs, but I know that you will always be there for me no matter what. You usually know what is best for me, even if I do not want to believe you. We fight and we irritate each other but I know without a doubt that you love me and always will.

Mostly I just want to use the opportunity to say thank you. You have sacrificed so much so that I could have as many opportunities as all the other kids and I am extremely grateful to have a mom like you to help lead me through life. Everything you have done since I was born was for me and I do not know how to say a thank you big enough. I appreciate everything you do for me and all the people in your life. You have been the best mom that I could have ever asked for and you mean the absolute world to me.

Love you to the moon,

Kelly

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.

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.
