A Letter to My Best Friends Who Made My Freshman Year One for the Books

As my freshman year of college is coming to a close, I can honestly say I am ending the year with no regrets. I have learned a lot about life in general (inside and outside of the classroom) and this year I feel like I truly found myself. From recruitment, homecoming and crazy tailgates, to formal and weekend adventures, I made some memories I will never forget but, most importantly, with people I will never forget.

So Hannah, Alex, Madison, Abby, Rachel, Taylor, Alle, Allie, Lauren and Jessica -- this one is for you, girls. Whoa, what a long list. I guess you can say I'm pretty lucky to have found ten amazing women I can call my best friends. I don't know what I would do without you guys, nor do I have any idea how my freshman year could have been as great as it was without y'all. From nights in playing cards, or days out exploring the wonderful town of Muncie with my shwoody girls; to formal, sponto, homecoming and weekends out with my fellow baby phis, I really don't think this year would have meant as much to me without you guys by my side.

I came into college with a pretty poor mindset that I would never find "real" friends, but I'm forever grateful that I proved myself wrong. I know I can count on any of you for absolutely anything and It's a really great feeling to know you are all right here with me. It is incredible that I didn't just find good people that are "fun to hangout with," but I developed real and personal friendships with all of you. You are not just the girls that I can share a laugh with, but the people I go to for my thoughts, secrets, and problems, and most importantly the people I share my deepest values with.

Each and every one of you are unique in your own way, and you all bring something different to the table, but at the end of the day, I am so proud that we found each other and get to share the best four years of our lives together. I would not trade the memories we've made thus far for anything in the world, and it is an understatement to say I'm ecstatic to see what happens next. They say the friends you make in college are the friends you will keep forever, and I can only hope this stays true.

I love you all to the moon and back.

Xoxo,

Nik

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.

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.
