Dear Florida State University,

Thank you for giving me one of the best experiences of my life. You are so warm and welcoming. I couldn't have seen myself anywhere else. I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. You have introduced me to my best friends. You have been with me through it all. You have seen me at my worst. You have seen me at my best. You have led me to new places. You continuously help shape me into the individual that I am today and will be tomorrow.

You have given me the best nights out. The nights that I will never forget. And the mornings I will shamelessly never forget. You have filled my heart with love and laughter. You have pushed me to make a name for myself. I am proud to be a part of something much bigger than myself. Thank you for entertaining me. Thank you for having an incredible football team that I can root for every weekend. You have truly shown me what it means to be a Florida State Seminole.

Thank you for letting me change my major a million times before I found the perfect one for me. Because of you I learned how to take charge of my goals and aspirations. Thank you for allowing me to fall in love with everything you had to offer. You maybe even made it a little too easy.

You have introduced me to organizations that have changed my life in ways that I never thought possible. You have given me the foundation I need to prosper in life and I am forever grateful. You continue to drain my bank account day after day, but I forgive you. Because no money in the world can amount to how much I have grown over the years. You have rained on me when I didn't have an umbrella, but I forgive you. You have even given me all kinds of sicknesses, maybe even the plague. And for those weeks I was miserable, I'm still trying to get over that one.

I'm sorry I skipped class that one time, I may or may not have been too hungover. It will never happen again, but I make no promises. The Strip and Pots have some pretty good deals during the week. And I'm sorry I skipped class because I overslept. And I'm sorry I skipped class because I just didn't want to go. You have given me all the knowledge that my brain could possibly carry. You have graciously taught me how to procrastinate with just the right amount of time to spare.

Thank you for everything. Thank you for being the beautiful campus that you are. Thank you for the breathtaking sunrises over Landis Green and the sunsets behind Doak. I can't wait to share so many more experiences with you!

Love,

Your favorite Seminole

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.

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. 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.
