I was looking back in my notes on my phone and I found the following letter. I wanted to share it with ya'll so there's physical proof that I care and love my mom - who is the coolest. Yeah, I'm talking about you, Kristin. You rock.

Dear Mom,

The time is currently 12:00AM on June 2, 2016. I have college orientation today, John broke up with me last night, and yet all I can think about is how much I love you. I'm recalling a memory from New G Tour 2015. I was giving a green room somewhere in Texas, maybe. Matt Paden asked me a question right before. He asked me, "How are you able to give so much energy into your Shout My Praise performance?" I honestly had no idea how to answer his question. I responded with, "I don't know." He was not pleased by this answer. "No, seriously!" he said. And I stood there and thought for a moment. We were maybe on Day 11 or 12 of tour. I remembered that I missed you. So I told him, "I pretend that my mom is sitting in the audience... she's my number one fan."

Mother, you support me so much. Since the day I was born to celebrating my high school graduation, I know that you have always cared so much about me - more than I will probably ever be able to comprehend. And I really just can not express how grateful I am for you. I love you so much, Mom. I love you so so very much and I appreciate all that you are able to do for me and how much you have given up for me. Thank you so much for never giving up on me. You're the best mom I could ever asked for.

And out of all the moms in the world whose vagina I could have came out of, I am so lucky and blessed that it was yours. :-)

I love you,

Ally

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.
