A Letter to My Three Roommates

You are my family away from home and I cannot ask for a better family.

Hey y'all,

I wanted to write this letter to tell you I appreciate all of you. When we first decided to move-in together, we were all so excited and now that the excitement has worn off and we have officially moved in, I wanted to say a few things.

First, I am sorry. I am sorry for all the times I will ask you to braid my hair. I am sorry for all the times I forget to flush the toilet and for the amount of hair I will shed. I am sorry for all the times I will interrupt your study sessions with the latest drama in my life. I am sorry for constantly texting you asking where you are because I am bored and alone in the room. I am sorry for all the times I will annoy you with my loud and obnoxious tendency to laugh at everything. I am sorry for my choice of Netflix movie and for finishing the season without you. I am sorry for the mornings I absolutely need your opinion on my outfit and throw a fit when I cannot find something. I am sorry for my random meltdowns when something does not go my way.

I am sorry for all of this, but more importantly, I am grateful for you putting up with it. I am thankful that whenever I need a shoulder to cry on, you are there. I am thankful for the times you make me coffee when I am stressed. I am thankful for your patience while I try outfit after outfit on. I am thankful you did my dishes and thankful you made dinner. I am thankful you put up with my crazy stories and my insane laughter. Thank you for always replying to me when I need you and for letting me in the building when I left my key in our room. Thank you for being my official plus 1 or plus 2 when I do not want to go somewhere alone. Thank you for the late nights of laughter and friendship. Thank you for searching through the dorm when I can't find something. Thank you for always being there.

There will be times where you hate me and wish I would just leave you alone. There will be times when I feel that way too. There will also be times when you feel like you are burdening me, but let me assure you that you are not. I love your presence and I love your unique personalities. You are my family away from home and I cannot ask for a better family.

With much love,

Your friend

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.
