Poem: Under The Rain

Never imagined kissing my other half under the rain in the middle of a storm out of many other places.

We first met in church.

We started talking and became friends fast.

Then our second meeting was under the worst conditions you can think of.

It was windy and raining

and I was stuck on the 495 with a flat tire and with no replacement.

At the time, I didn't have much guy friends

except now I had Luke.

We had just become friends and didn't want to ask for his help but it was getting dark

and wanted to get the hell out of there.

With a shaking hand, I called him

Within 10 minutes, he parked behind me.

We exchanged some words and he was about to start on my tire.

When the winds got stronger and lightning appeared.

We both ran to the car, soaked and cold.

He gave me his jacket, he had in his car.

That night, we started to get to know each other more.

We had more things in common than we imagined.

We continued looking at the rain but our eyes would meet once in a while.

Our hands met while trying to put the heat on.

Our eyes meet again, he leaned in...

That night I felt warm and safe, right next to him.

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.
