A Letter To The Best Friend I Made At College

I'm so lucky to have met you.

To my best friend that I met in college,

I never would have thought that coming to college would reward me with someone as wonderful as you. Although you didn't like me at first (which I think is hilarious), we both grew to love each other and understand one another in a way that I had never shared with another friend. After our first year together, I felt like I had known you for a lifetime, not just the nine odd months we had spent at school during our freshman year. You became another piece to my whole and now I can't imagine my life without you.

We have so many memories together that I am so thankful for, and they exist because we just happened to choose to attend the same university. Whether it was eating too much dessert at the dining hall, talking for hours snuggled up in each other's beds or just being silly, you've helped make every memory a good one. Don't get me wrong, friends that meet in college fight like any other friends do. But, we have this weird way of fighting where we get everything out in five minutes and then laugh about it ten minutes later because it's so hard to be mad at each other.

It was kind of coincidental meeting you, considering we're only 10 minutes apart at home and we never knew it until we met at college, but it never makes saying goodbye any easier. If it's leaving for the weekend or leaving for the summer, you and I are both silently counting down the hours until the other returns. We miss each other like long-lost sisters and that makes my heart happy because I don't have siblings of my own.

College has been so wonderful to me, in this way, because it brought me you and I know I'll have you for life. I imagine us going crazy together when we each get jobs after graduation, you helping me move into my future home and standing near the altar at my wedding. You've become so meaningful to me in such a short amount of time because realistically, college doesn't last as long as everyone would like you to believe it does. Time flies and I'm lucky to have spent my college career with you by my side.

I love you, and I will forever. Thanks for being you.

Love, me

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.

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.
