The Thank You My Parents Deserve

Thank you for being there for me 100 percent.

Dear parentals,

I just wanted to give a thank you, to the both of you (even though Father’s Day was on Sunday –– Happy Father’s Day!) for everything you have done for me. From literally teaching me how to use a spoon to now filing taxes, you’re there for my day to day needs and I would probably be floundering in this chaotic ‘adult’ world that you’ve conquered so well.

Here are a couple things that I’m thankful for:

1. Always giving the "I TOLD YOU SO" stare when I do something you said not to.

2. You demonstrate true love.

Really, you were both my first and will be my last loves. If I could ever know what unconditional, true love is, looking at you both is a perfect example.

3. For all the best laughs.

Some of the funniest moments in my life have been with you both, so yeah, we are hilarious and should probably have a sit-com.

4. For ALWAYS having food ready (disclaimer: you'll miss home cooked meals).

One of the luxuries I took for granted was always coming home and having food ready. Now it's MY time to make my own food...or just go to Cookout. Yeah, probably Cookout.

5. For never letting me go out in public dressed terribly.

Remember the Naruto shirts? Do you? Because I do.

6. For helping me (doing it for me) with my homework.

THE SHADOW BOX FOR THE SUMMER READING PROJECTS! I'll always appreciate having a mother who is an amazing writer/editor and a very artistic and crafty dad (they're really a superhero parent team).

7. For always picking me up when I fall (physically and metaphorically).

I remember all the countless scratches and bruises from playing outside, and the mosquito bites, but even in my darkest hour and when I've had literally no one, you have been there for me. I'm never truly alone, because I have you both by my side all the time, and I'm forever grateful to that.

8. For disciplining me, even when I didn't like it.

Only the good Lord knows where I'd be without y'all being helicopter parents. I turned out okay, right?

Through everything, I thank you both for being the greatest parents any girl could ever ask for.

Love,

Your Daughter.

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.
