Dear Graduate:

Your life is about to change. Your world is about to turn upside down, but maybe for the better. You are now on your own and adulthood is becoming a reality. But you are ready. School has prepared you for twelve years of your life for this moment right here when you walk down that aisle and get handed that piece of paper that releases you from something you've done your whole life. But, you should know that life isn't about to get easier. In fact, while you are about to embark on a journey of your own living a life full of your potential, don't forget where you came from. Remember that home will always be home and those memories won't be forgotten. This summer will be the best summer yet and you will learn so much in the coming years. The experiences you will have will be unbelievable. The best piece of advice you will get is, if you don't ask for something, you won't ever get it. Don't be afraid to experience who you are. You can move mountains and have great potential for your life. As Dr. Suess says, "You're off to great places. Today is your day. Your mountain is waiting, so get on your way."

Oh the places you will go!

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.

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.
