A Letter To My Grandmothers
Ashlynn Melnyk

Dear Nana,

YOU are a superhero. Sometimes I can't believe it’s possible for you to be a better person than you already are but, somehow you always seem to change that thought. When you stayed up late to paint, when you slept with me whenever I got scared, when you constantly stayed calm and positive in some of the worst situations are just three of the THOUSANDS of reasons why I love you. Everything about you is what I shoot to accomplish in my life. Thank you for constantly being an amazing talker, influence, and friend any girl could have.

Dear Grandma Ann,

YOU make my heart melt. Every time I see you, I'm showered with love and hugs, and to tell you, I absolutely LOVE it. The kind of heart you behold is so pure, kind, and full of love. Somehow you always manage to make me smile and constantly remind me how lucky I am. Within the time you have been in my life, you have given me so much and everyday continue to, and for that, I am forever grateful.

Dear Mamaw,

YOU make me so strong. Never in my life have I met anyone with as much resilience and kindness as you have. You constantly welcome me with open arms and with your famous "mamaw cookie" right by your side. I understand how hard things have been these last few years, but I want you to know how unbelievably proud I am of you. I love you so much, mamaw, and I will forever be here for you with the open arms you helped raised me to have.

Dear Gma,

YOU put a smile on my face. Still to this day, every time I sit down at a piano, I imagine you rushing over, flipping open a book and playing along with me, and every time I see you, the same thing happens. Thanks to you I have learned not to let anyone reprimand my intelligence and to constantly put my best ability into everything I do. You are an amazing woman whom I will look up to for years to come.

I love you all so very much. Thank you. XOXO

-Ash

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.
