Just like having your very own kid... but you can give them back.

A Letter To My Saving Grace, My Niece
Lexi Schroeder

Dear Mini Me,

It's only been 2 short years since you have entered my life. And in those 2 short years, you have taught me so much already. It's true when people say you can meet one single person and it changes your life for the better, and you are that person. Never in a million years would I ever think a tiny human being who weighs 22 pounds would mean the whole entire world to me.

The day you were born, I instantly started crying because of how beautiful you were. You were the tiniest little person I have ever seen and I couldn't believe that you were part of my family. Watching you grow up has and always will be one of my favorite things. From your first words to your first steps, those are the type of things that will be stuck in my mind forever.

I never ever want you to change. I know in the future that boys will hurt you, friendships will end and that you'll argue with your parents (I've argued about things with your mom for 19 years now...). But I hope you always remember that I will always be here for you and will talk to you about anything. I've been through the heartbreaks and everything along those lines, so I will help you through anything.

I was at one of the lowest points of my life last year, to the point where I wanted to end my life. But you were always on my mind and you were one of the biggest reasons why I didn't want to leave this world. I want to be the strongest person and the biggest role model I can be for you.

I know that in a blink of an eye, you'll become a teenager, then get your license and then soon head off to college. But I hope you always remember how much I love you and how much you mean to me. No matter how far away I am from you at times, I will ALWAYS be there to support you, spoil you and love you like no other. I am the luckiest girl in the world to be blessed with a niece like you.

Love,

Your Auntie

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.
