An Open Letter To My College Best Friend
Rachel Williams

Dear Best Friend,

There are no words to describe how much you have changed my life this past year. Coming to college, I didn't have any friends by my side because I didn't know anyone going to the same school as me. You and I met over the summer on the "Quad" group chat for our school. You talked about how you never toured the school and wanted pictures, so I sent you some from around campus. That, my friend, is what started this friendship.

I remember the first day we met; we went to that fair for the incoming freshman and played those indoor carnival games they had. After that, we went back to your dorm and hung out with your roommate but then I left to go back to my apartment. We started hanging out more, and it was like we instantly became best friends. We both had boyfriends at the beginning of the fall, but at the end of the spring semester, we were both single. We helped each other with our break ups and cried on each other's shoulders. We ate breakfast, lunch and dinner together and even had sleepovers.

Then we started hanging out with my roommate more, and we became the best friend trio. We did everything together, went on road trips, went shopping, went out to eat, and had many many many sleepovers. We even watched the entire season of "Fuller House" in about a day. I never had this much fun with my high school best friends, probably because I didn't live with them or see them 24/7 from being away at college.

Out of all of the fun stuff that we have done together, I have got to say that just hanging out in my apartment playing Xbox or watching movies until three in the morning has got to be my favorite. I can't wait for those kinds of nights again this year. I am so glad that we met on that Quad app because if it wasn't for that, we might have never crossed paths because we didn't have any classes together this entire year, probably because we have two completely different majors.

I am so happy that you came into my life. Through all the cries, laughs, and smiles we have had, you have made my life so much brighter. Friendships like ours are very rare and hard to find in this world nowadays. I am sure God was watching over us during the hard times in our life and decided that we needed each other and brought us together to become best friends; we are pretty much sisters that's how close we are. You have always been there when nothing seemed to be going right, and you were and are there during the highest points in my life as well. Just know that I obviously love you enough to write this long article about you.

I love you, Britt. Thanks for being my best friend.

-Rach

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.
