An Open Letter To My Group Chat

Thank you for letting me lose my filter completely.

An Open Letter To My Group Chat
saas

Texting you guys can truly make my day.

I appreciate that we can talk about any and everything - food, relationships, makeup, politics, dogs, sex, literally anything. I know that I can text my unfiltered thoughts into our chat, regardless of how insane they are and one of you will agree with me, or at least entertain said thoughts.

I can text the chat when I am having a good day, and I know that everyone will be genuinely happy for me, even if you guys are having a horrible day. You'll be engaged and ask about what happened, or say that you're happy for me. I appreciate this more than you guys know.

I love texting our chat when I'm having a bad day, or when something or someone makes me mad. I can type paragraphs or a million short messages; you guys don't mind. I can say every curse word known to exist and type the most questionable things, but you all just thrive off of it and then we end up in some heated discussion. At that point, I'm not even mad anymore because I'm laughing so much at all of our messages and it makes my bad days so much better.

Our group chat is so uplifting. Anytime someone sends a selfie that they feel good in, we all make sure they feel like a queen. When someone doubts themselves or their ambition, there's a 99% chance that we are all writing paragraphs about that person explaining to them why they are so wonderful and telling them to stop being so hard on themselves. When someone says that someone outside of our group chat was rude to them, our chat transforms into a "Comedy Central Roast" - it's great.

Anytime something big happens, you already know it's getting sent to the group chat. We can go from obsessing over expensive makeup to in-depth discussions about social injustices around the world in a matter of minutes. We can have conversations about the stupidest things and about things that are really important. You're all so smart and strong and I admire what you have to say immensely.

We talk about things that I feel like I could never talk about with other people. We talk about things that I'm not sure most people even discuss with their friends, but I love being able to tell you guys literally anything. If someone read our messages, they'd be very concerned and question our sanity without a doubt. But you guys taught me to that it's perfectly fine to talk about things that we're taught to keep quiet about it. I love that we have absolutely no filter and can be our true selves around each other.

Thank you for supplying me with endless laughs, correcting me when I'm wrong, uplifting me when I'm down, and for being the funniest people on the planet.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
