Dear beautiful people,

Have you ever noticed how carefully you tread? Each and every step, word, and action carefully thought out in hopes of appeasing the one who was supposed to love you unconditionally. Nothing you do is for you. Every move is made like that of a chess game because you don't want to anger the beast.

The relationship has spiraled so far out of control you can't even remember what a loving word or touch is like from them. You try so hard to make it work, not because you want to or even for love but because you feel stuck. You feel as if there is no escape and you have nowhere to turn. You may even feel like you deserve it. Like everything that is said and done to you is just another reason as to why don't deserve happiness and love.

But I am here to say that you do deserve love and happiness. You did nothing wrong and if you want to escape the tallest tower in the castle you can find a way. Everyone deserves a happily ever after, but never at the expense of someone else's.

I know some of you always put others before yourself. Now is the time to do the exact opposite. Because you deserve to be put first. So even when you feel alone or as if there is no hope, just know that you have someone in your corner. You have someone cheering you on as you fight your battle.

You are a warrior and you are strong.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
