I don't want to grow up either. I want to always be your little girl and I always want to have you take care of me. I wish I could stop time because I feel it too, I'm growing up too fast.

I don't want to buy my own groceries and take care of myself when I'm sick, but I also can't wait to grow up to fulfill my dreams and give you grandkids. I can say I'm so grateful for you a thousand times every second but that still wouldn't amount to love and support you've given me. You've done everything for my brother and I, even if you don't think we notice, we do.

I remember being that 13 year old girl that couldn't wait to be an adult and go to college and now that it is actually happening in a few short months I want to stop and go back. I want to apologize for every fight about me growing up too fast to tell you you're right.

Dad, I'm sorry for going out with all those guys. You were right, they were dumb and a waste of my time. The first man I loved in my life was you and I know I can always count on you for the endless love back.

Mom, you're my rock. You've had my back countless times and I know you always will. Thank you for being the best shoulder to cry on and always telling me the truth. I love you always!

I just want you to know, you did a great job raising me. I am healthy and I am happy and it all because of you. I could never ask for better parents because I already have the best.

I love you.

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

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.
