To my boyfriend's family,

It now seems like ages ago when I first walked into the doors of your house to meet you all for the first time. I was extremely nervous, and I hoped that I would make a good impression and that you all would like me. One of my biggest hopes in a relationship is for my significant other's family to like who I am. It's extremely important to me, since these are the people who are the closest to them, and whatever they think of me is crucial to our relationship. But when I walked into the door and said hello, I had no idea how much you would all soon mean to me and how thankful I am for all of you!

Thank you for constantly making me laugh.

Whenever I head over for a family dinner or just to hang out, I know I'm going to have a great time with a lot of laughs. You are all so entertaining with your funny stories, quirky relationships, and random comments. You may say you are a dysfunctional family, but I know it's in the best way possible. Oh, and thank you for sharing embarrassing stories about my boyfriend, I love them!

Thank you for sharing your special moments with me.

The weddings, family nights, and holidays have been amazing to share with you all. It's so heartwarming to be a part of some of the most special days that you all have together, and to also share some of the great memories. Those days I'll never forget, and they'll go down in my books as some of the greatest days of my life!

Thank you for always being there for him.

Since my significant other and I have been dating, I have seen you all love and support him through anything he's gone through. With all of the ups and downs in life, you all have shown me the true meaning of unconditional family love, and you have given him the best support system. You're all truly amazing for that.

Thank you for welcoming me in.

When you meet your significant other's family for the first time, you never know what you are truly going to expect. You all welcomed me with open arms and made me feel right at home. It's sometimes not easy to do that, but you all took the time to get to know me. I know if I ever need someone, I can always call one of you.

Thank you for letting me date him.

This is what I am most thankful for. I never thought I would ever meet someone as special and amazing as him, and you have all supported our relationship and welcomed me in as part of your family. The love and gratitude I feel is overwhelming, and I am so honored to be a part of your lives. You are the most amazing family, and I cannot thank you enough!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
