Dear Support System,

Some of you are friends by choice, while others of you are family by blood. Some of you are old friends, some of you are new found friends, but together you make one great support system.

You've been there for the good and happy times. Sometimes we are celebrating birthdays together along with all of the other big moments in our lives. You've been there when I have met my daily goals, life goals, and even my step goals. You've stood by my side as I have been in love. You let me in to become part of your family. And, I know that you will continue to be by my side as life goes on and you will still be there to celebrate with me through the good still to come!

You've been there through the bad times. You were my shoulder to cry on, my friend to hug when life got rocky. You said words of comfort to me through a divorce and deaths. You remind me to keep going even when it doesn't seem like I should go any further. You've seen me get my heart broken and were there to pick up the pieces, even if you did say, "I told you so." You said the words I needed to hear, even when I didn't want to hear them. You've stuck by me through arguments and football seasons, and yet we're still friends.

The thing is that you've been through it with me. You've become my support system and you don't get told thank you enough. This is to you: thank you!

Thank you for growing up with me and being a friend throughout my childhood. Thank you for always being the first to RSVP to my birthday parties since we met in elementary school. Thank you to my college friends who have become my additional friends for life. Thank you to those who have become my adopted family. Thank you for the daily encouragement to keep going to achieve my goals and dreams. Thank you for holding my hand when I needed someone to be there. Thank you for letting me cry on your shoulder when I found out that my grandparents died. Thank you for always having my best interest at heart as well as tackle life.

Most importantly, thank you for being you. Thank you for having an impact on my life and becoming part of my support system. Thank you for loving me and understanding me so well, (even when I'm being stubborn). I hope I can be half the friend to you that you have been to me.

Love,

One Supported Friend

Living Away From Home, As Described By 'Friends'

For better or for worse

Loyola University Chicago

1799

tv.com

"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!

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

Sleepovers are not a thing. They're just not.

1. You only ask things once.

2. Seriously, you only ask once.

3. When you do muster up the courage to ask your parents for something, you creep around and wait until they’re in a good mood.

4. Before you get that final yes, you have to go through an interview.

5. If you ever got “the eye,” you knew you were screwed.

6. You were always the first to leave your group of friends when hanging out.

7. If you say you will be home at a certain time, you better be home at that time.

8. Seeing a missed call from your parents sends fear and horror through your veins.

9. If relatives are coming over to the house, your room better be clean.

10. You are careful about what jokes you share with your parents.

11. "You’re not an adult until you turn 18! You can do whatever you want then!"

12. If plans change while you’re out, you better text or call.

13. Don’t talk back. Ever.

14. When you’re called by your full name, you’re in deep trouble.

15. Don’t make them call your name twice.

16. Sleepovers are not a thing.

17. Despite all of these things, you know your parents love you.

For better or for worse

1. Pets

2. Mornings

3. Mistakes

4. Cooking for yourself

5. Hosting

6. Taking care of yourself

7. Holidays

8. Roommates

9. Keeping focused and getting stuff done

10. Cleaning

11. Social life

No, really. I'm not mad. Just hungry.

1. You’re tired of people asking you if you know what “RBF” stands for every time you zone out.

2. You’re constantly using the excuse, “I’m just tired” when people ask you if you’re mad.

3. Or “I’m just thinking.”

4. In fact, you’re rarely ever actually mad.

5. But when you are, people usually can’t tell.

6. You find other people with RBF’s and have to convince yourself that you don’t look like them.

7. You constantly remind yourself, “At least I’m not a psycho.”

Some of your best ideas come through boredom.

1. If the professor is late by one minute, I'm leaving.

2. Oh crap, that's due TODAY?!

3. Can I nap in here?

4. I wonder what they're serving at the cafeteria.

5. How much does my teacher even get paid?

6. How much will I get paid?

7. This is the longest 50 minutes of my life.

8. Maybe if I call mom, she'll give me money.

9. How much do street performers make anyway?

10. Why am I here? I could be a street performer by now.

11. Oh right, I'm not talented.
