I hope that when bad days come this semester, you guys are able to use our summer memories to remind yourself that good days come with the bad.

We knew this time was coming, now we only have two more weeks together before one of us goes 567 miles away, one of us will be working constantly and finishing up school, and I will be going back to school and studying like hell to get my praxis exam done... but we will always have the memories of this summer.

As we are all going our separate ways this semester, I hope that you remember the day that we tried to lay on the beach but we got rained out and had to go to the zoo instead. You guys were so mad that you weren't going to get more tan but I was so happy we were finally getting to the zoo this summer, even though I do love the beach.

I hope that when bad days come this semester, you guys are able to use our summer memories to remind yourself that good days come with the bad. Like when we were at the bar for my birthday and we asked the bartender to give us "the special" and then tried to guess what it was for the next two months. Or when we made a homemade slip and slide and played water balloon baseball and it was the first time Becca had ever been in a Dollar Store. Our good times will get me through stressful days cramming for exams and having breakdowns due to lack of sleep.

I hope that you tell your other friends about our memories because I certainly will. I hope you're telling them about the times we stayed at the bar until 2:30 in the morning. I hope you're telling them about the drives we took down the shore blaring throwbacks and screaming the words. I hope that you remember playing the water game so that Heather would stop asking if we were "there yet."

You guys made this summer one I will never forget, and I hope that I made yours that special too. There are so many more memories were going to make, but for now, we have a pretty good list and I am so grateful for what we have. Thank you for everything. I love you so much.

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. 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.
