To my twin,

Thank you for being my person. You have been there for me when nobody else was and I am so grateful to have been so lucky to have you. You make me happy, when skies are grey, and you will never know how much I love you. You have been and will always be my womb-mate. We did share a room for the first 17 years of our life. Some might call it too personal, I would have to agree. Though it was difficult, (you sure are messy!!), I wouldn't have it any other way. In a way, you have taught me how to handle a mess, and just deal with it.

Everyone always asks me, "Do you like being a twin?" The answer is simple- no. I'm kidding! Being a twin is the greatest honor. Being YOUR twin is the greatest honor. Having a twin is basically like having a forever friend. No matter what we go through, you will never be able to get rid of me. Sorry not sorry. You know me better than I know myself. When I can't find the right words to say, you can, and I am so appreciative that you are you.

I know that no matter what I go through, I know that I am not alone. I will never have to stand by myself in concert lines, when I am feeling anxious, you are there to hug me, and when I am having a rough night, your comforting words are all need. You accept me for who I am not have never ever made me feel like I don't deserve the things I have. You have always supported me with everything and I have no way to ever thank you for that.

In the end, I would love to thank you. Thank you for all of the silly inside jokes, like spunky mider. Thank you for all of the insane memories we have shared. There is no one else I would want to have a flip flop fight with. Thank you for calling off of work for me when I was too nervous to do it myself. Thank you for having sleepovers with me, just because I wanted to cuddle. You will always be my best friend and I can't wait to see what else we will experience together.

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.

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. 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.
