For some reason, there's a stigma that a boy and girl cannot just be friends without everyone thinking that they're dating. I can honestly say that many people were never satisfied with us just being friends and always hassled us about dating and being in love with each other. Yes, we love each other, but not in the relationship aspect. You're my rock, my best friend, and my other half. So, here's to you, and being the best friend any one could ever ask for.

Thank you for always making me laugh until I cry. Whenever you sense I’m in a bad mood, rather than having me talk it out, you try to make me feel better- usually with stupid jokes, terrible singing, and hideous SnapChats. You always know the right thing to say to put a smile on my face and to make my stomach hurt from laughter. Sometimes, we won't even say anything to each other, and will just sit and laugh endlessly at absolutely nothing.

Thank you for being there at all hours of the day. Through all the boy drama, school stress, and family issues, sometimes it seems like no one cares. You always make it a point to show that you'll always be there for me by constantly checking up on me. I know you're the first person that I can turn to for everything and anything; whatever time of day it is. I’m afraid to bother other people with my problems, but you’re always more than willing to talk to me and give me advice. You've shown me my worth and importance. You rationalize everything I say and talk sense into me when I’m being ridiculous - which is more often than I like to admit :P.

Thank you for never giving up on our friendship and always encouraging me. We can go days without speaking, and then pick back up right where we last left off. Thank you for always being positive and optimistic even in those times where I think it's the end of the world. It’s a reminder for me to stay strong when things aren’t looking too great because the storm will always pass. With struggle comes strength and you've always make sure to help me imagine a more positive outcome.

Thank you for being an all round amazing person and friend. I am so blessed to be able to call you my best friend for the past nine years. Your generosity and work ethic is inspiring. You're constantly bettering yourself and the people around you. You've helped shaped me into the person I am today and I couldn't be more grateful for that.

Thank you for sticking by my side all of this time. I know I’m a lot to handle, and I’m sure I annoy the hell out of you all the time. So thanks for (somewhat) putting up with me and never taking my sarcasm too seriously.

I appreciate you more than you'll ever know. It means so much to me knowing we’ll be friends forever, (haha you're stuck with me forever), and you’re always just a call or text away.

Love always,

Your bestfran (because friend has end in it)

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.
