Dear Friend,

I am writing you this letter today to make you aware that you are not alone in this. I watch you struggle daily with the knowledge that you are no better than the situation that you are in, but that is not true. I watch you cry over boys that don't understand how amazing of a person you are and are willing to overlook your generosity and beauty to lead you onto an emotional roller coaster that will leave you feeling like you will never be happy again. I watch as they overlook your incredible sense of humor and loyalty for the people you love. You are far from anyone who deserves this and I am here to tell you why.

You've heard me explain this numerous of times over text and in person, but I am hoping a letter will be the thing to make you understand. I will always support your decisions, but I wish you would realize you deserve better. You deserve better than the hours of tears and confusion that they often instill upon you, and the depression that is seeded deep within your soul. You deserve more than the numerous anxiety attacks that they gift you with in turn for their disloyalty and misunderstanding of the beautiful person you are.

I'm here to remind you that it is possible for you to be happy again and you deserve this more than anyone else. It's a choice and a realization that only you yourself can make, but I am here to help you through it. If you could take a spaceship to the future you would see yourself happily married to the person of your dreams, so happy in fact, that you are confused as to why you ever doubted yourself before. You won't understand why you didn't realize sooner that you are better than the way you are being treated currently. Your future self wishes that you would understand how amazing a person you are and that your beauty deserves so much more.

I wish I could make you understand and with a wave of my wand make all of your problems go away. One day you will realize your worth, but until them I am here to remind you. I love you.

Love,

A friend who cares.

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.
