A Letter To Family: Related And Unrelated

This is a letter to the family who has been there for me from day one of my life. To my parents, to my grandparents, to my aunts and uncles (the honorary ones too). I want to thank you all for watching my grow every day, helping me learn from my mistakes ranging from drawing on the walls to my first car accident. Thank you for showing me love and compassion even when I acted like someone you would rather not give love and compassion to. Thank you for always being there for me.

This is a letter to the family who grew up with me. To my brothers and sisters, to my cousins. Thank you for being around and growing up with me. Thank you for being my friends and foes all at the same time. Thank you for having fun with me, and also learning with me too. I know some of you more than others, but nonetheless we are all family and I thank you all for being around at all.

This is a letter to the friends I've known for so long they might as well be my family. Thank you to the people I've known as long as I've been alive because our parents were friends and we had no choice but to learn to get along. Thank you to the friends I met in school who have become an insanely huge part of my life today. Thank you to the new friends I've made more recently who are already becoming family to me. You all have helped me grow just as much as the people I'm blood related to, and I thank you for being around.

This is a letter for anyone I've been close to ever. Anyone who hurt me, anyone who I hurt, anyone who I just lost touch with because time changes things. I apologize for any pain I caused anyone, and any pain that has been caused to me has been forgiven, I have not held any grudges. I just want to thank you all for everything we all went through, even the bad times. Every memory has morphed me into who I became today and I thank you all for that.

Thank you to everyone who has entered my life, especially the people who are my family and the people I consider family. I love you all and wouldn't be who I am today without you. If you would also like to thank the people you love, please, pass this on. The people you love should know you love them.

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.
