A Letter To My College Friends As We Start Our Second Year Together

Sam Scherer

We have under a month until we return to our beautiful campus. A lot is going to change for us. Some of our friends have left and now it is just us. Some of you are about to graduate and leave the rest of us behind. So let's make it a great year.

Well for me, it will only be half a year. Since I am going away, I wanted to let you all know that it is very bittersweet to be studying abroad. Believe me, I am super excited and cannot wait to see more of Europe. But it does make me sad that I will be leaving all of you behind, even though it is only 15 weeks. I hope that you guys have fun without me though and know that this will not change a thing about our friendship.

I already cannot wait to be back from my little adventure so that I can be reunited with all of you. That may sound bad, wanting to come home already and I have not even left yet, but it will be weird going to college without you guys will there to join me. That will be strange if I am being completely honest. I will not be able to come back to my room and have one of you be there. Instead, I will be sharing a room with someone I do not even know yet. You will be living with my stuff in your room, but not me.

I look forward to our weekly video chats and Snapchatting every day (have to keep those streaks up am I right?) from wherever I am. But this first semester is going to go by quickly and soon I will be back with all of you, getting ready to start our second semester. I am already so excited for that to happen it is not funny. It is going to be awesome getting to live with my best friends. We will be together all the time and it is just going to be great. I already know.

To my friends that are going to be seniors, we only have 15 weeks of college left together. That is crazy. It is hard to imagine that that is it. After that we will no longer go to college together. I hope that when I get back, we make the most of our time together because it is going to go fast. And then who knows what will happen. That is sad, but it is the truth.

So to all of you, my friends, I hope that you do not have too much fun without me. While I cannot wait for my European adventure, I cannot wait to be back with you. With the time we have together, let's make this second year even better than the first.

Love,

Your friend

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.
