I miss you a lot - most of the time.

An Open Letter To My High School Best Friend
Sydney Blake

Hey best friend,

Man, I can’t believe we are already sophomores in college. We have been friends for so long now, Facebook had to remind us it’s been 6 years! That blows my mind a little bit. I remember back to freshman year and smile at all that we have been through since then.

The first time we met was freshman year. We were in all the same classes except like 2. We actually didn’t become good friends until sophomore year. Back when we both wanted to pursue medical careers. Who knew we would love Grey’s Anatomy so much?? Those were some of my favorite times. We had the kind of friendship that most people never find. We said so many mean things to each other, but all in fun-loving play. You helped me through a really dark time.

I think that was why we became best friends. We had each other’s back during some of the roughest times in our high school career. I know that I helped you some, but you helped me way more than you knew. You made me laugh when all I felt like doing was being sad. You encouraged me to follow God when it otherwise would have been nonexistent. You helped me with some school work in that health class. I got an A in there, I think.

We are going to two different colleges now, we both have bills to pay, and we don’t have time to do much else than to work. I miss you during all that, but I also wish you the most success. It’s so weird to think that two years ago from today, we were sitting in class (probably wishing we could go back to sleep). A year changes things, sometimes for the greater good that we don’t even notice until it already happened

So, all in all, I want to say thank you to my best friend. Because even though we fight sometimes, even though we disagree on some things, even though we rarely have time to see each other, I always know that you’ll be there for me. You will never judge me. And if you do, it won’t be in a way that will hurt me. You will always be there on the sidelines telling me to go pursue my dreams. And for that, I will always be grateful.

Let’s make plans really soon.

I love you, best friend.

Sydney

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.
