To My Ex Best Friend...

Hey girl! What's up? How you been? I can see so many things haven't changed. Still as salty as ever.

I'm not writing this to you to bash you because you have done that enough for the both of us and I just don't roll that way. I just wanted to say thank you. Yes you heard that right, thank you!

Thank you for showing me how a real friend isn't supposed to act. It might have taken me 12 years of you walking all over me, abusing our friendship, looking down on me and putting me down to finally realize but boy are my eyes open now.

Now that I am 25 years old I have come to find out who my true friends are in my life. I will forever keep these types of people close to my heart. They are genuine people who care about what is going on in my life, how well I succeed, and always share their love. They were never trying to one up me or are always focused on themselves or being right all the time & in case you didn't know, this is exactly how you were.

I hope you are happy with where you are in your life. I hope your family is doing well and I hope you have everything you could ever want. But what I also hope is that you have opened your eyes and realized you can't treat people the way you treat them for the rest of your life. I promise you it will never work out.

So I thank you for teaching me many lessons but I really thank you for no longer being in my life.

Good luck,

The best friend you will never have again.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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.
