To one of the greatest people, I've ever met, almost every day I wish that you had never left.

I know the saying goes that you're in a better place, but that doesn't mean I don't want to see your face.

I can't help but think about you all the time, I miss the days of us in our prime.

Sometimes I swear that I see your face in the clouds, and I think of when we stood together in crowds.

No matter who was near, you were always by my side and you were always around to take a ride.

I can't help but wonder why it was you, I'm sure no one else would make me this blue.

But that's not fair for me to wish, to think that your life was worth more would be foolish.

I can't beg for someone else to be taken instead, that would just mean someone else's family is dead.

I know that I have to try to let you go, but every day, I'll still love you, I hope you know.

I hope you can still remember us, if not, maybe your memory will adjust.

I wish no sorrow or worry anymore, that in the afterlife is uncalled for.

Begging some greater power to bring you back would just make my heart feel really black.

I can't pretend that my pain has decreased, but I know that your pain has finally ceased.

I just pray that our memories won't be forgotten; that's one thing that would make me feel rotten.

I don't know where your soul has traveled now, I'm not sure if heaven is real anyhow.

Wherever you've decided to rest in peace, your legacy of greatness will never cease.

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.

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.
