To "The One That Got Away,"

We fell in love. We fell hard. I will always love you. You told me that you will always love me. It is extremely hard to fall out of love with someone, and I do not believe that we will ever truly fall out of love with each other. But, we moved on. We parted ways. We grew apart. We started dating other people. We stayed friends. We went to parties together, we went to church hangouts together, and we even went on a trip as friends together, but all those memories brought back the ones where we were together.

I miss smiling with you. Two years after we broke up, and I still miss that cute smile of yours. I miss your laugh. I miss the yelling that we used to do together on football Sunday's. I miss a lot about you. Although I miss all of those things, I have a lot of happiness about those things too. I loved how long I got to smile with you. Four long years. I love how long we got to laugh and cry together. But most of all, I love how much we allowed God to be involved with our lives over those years. I remember the day we broke up. We prayed about it, and made sure it was what was really best for us. Allowing God into my life with you was one of the best things that has ever happened to me, and for that I am incredibly thankful.

You made me realize how much I love to love. You made me realize that even though a lot of horrible things happened to me in life, I could still love. That's one of the greatest gift you ever gave me.

I am so thankful that I got to love you for as long as I did. I fell in love with everything about you. I hope you have the best life, and if God plans for me to play a part in it, I will be more than happy to be. You will always be my first love, and you will always be, "The One That Got Away."

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.
