Thank-you for being you

A letter to my Momma
Emily Pawlik

You are the Lorelai to my Rory. For those of you that are Gilmore Girls fans, will totally understand. If not; she is more than just my mother, she is my best friend. She has taught me everything I know and has made me the young woman I am today. Without her, I don't know where I would even be. So let me begin by saying thank-you.

Thank-you for being the ultimate best. You are always there for me no matter what. You're the kind of mother I can go to for anything and I know that you will always guide me in the right direction. You never mind those late night texts or phone calls. Because sometimes at 3am you need to know if the one day late expired food you ate 12 hours ago is going to kill you. Although I know I will be okay, hearing it come from you just makes me feel so much better.

Thank-you for understanding me more than anyone. You just get me. You know that an ice-coffee from Dunkin can cure anything. You also know that ice cream can make my bad day go to a good day. You know that a mall trip a week is a necessity, along with a Starbucks stop in-between. You practically know everything. You will never realize how much all the little things you do for me mean to me. From the countless trips up to college to visit me when I miss you, to literally putting my happiness and others before yours. I'll never be able to thank-you enough.

Thank-you for raising me the way you did. I may not have liked all the rules growing up, but I will forever be thankful for them. I now know that you did it for my best interest. I want to thank-you for the grace you had in doing it all. I know the drama of my teenage years had to be hard, but you handled it so well. As I started getting older, I watched so many of my friends drift away from their mothers. I'm so blessed that it never happened with us. We have only gotten closer as the years go on and I know we will continue to grow together.

Lastly, thank-you for being you. Everything about you I admire. I hope you realize how truly beautiful you are inside and out. Your presence is much appreciated. Not only can your smile light up a room, but your laugh is also contagious. Anytime you are around, I know I will have nothing but the best time. I pray that I become half the woman and mother that you are one day. Thank-you for everything. I love you so much, Momma.

Love Always& Forever,

Your Daughter

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.
