An Open Letter to Cookout

You've been there for me at my best and worst.

I don't know why it's taken me so long to write this. I guess I was waiting for the right time.

You were there for me after dance recitals when I was little, to even now when I'm just feeling a midnight snack. I fell in love with the chicken strip tray and seasoned fries, but my life was changed for the better when you introduced the cheddar rounds.

You thought you were being sly when you raised your cookout tray prices, but I noticed, and it honestly hurt a little. You are known for being the best deal in my college town, and you still are but I was honestly offended when you raised your prices.

I think I can speak for all college students when I say that you have saved us from some pretty interesting nights. When the uber pulls up to you everyone gets excited, so thank you Cookout for being the shining light at the end of the tunnel.

You have been there for me for as long as I can remember. Being from North Carolina I grew up being surrounded by you, and going to you to hang out with pals and just have a great time. You have been the gathering place throughout high school and college.

When people ask what Cheer-wine is, and why it is included in the vending machine really breaks my heart, but I am glad that you stay true to your roots and continue to provide it.

When I walk into Cookout and I hear Christian music playing it always puts a smile on my face. I am glad that you continue to provide a positive atmosphere for us college kids because we really need it. When finals week approaches and stress is high, you are the reason we all get through it and have something to look forward to.

From burgers to chicken strips and wraps in between, you have such a wide variety for any eater. The milkshakes are also super bomb, and the deals you offer are unbeatable. Your cookout sauce is also something that can't be competed with, so thank you for that.

So, thank you Cookout for being a real one and getting not only me but every single college kid through hard times. Never leave us, and remember to always keep the Cheerwine and cookout sauce handy.

Sincerely,

a hungry college student

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.
