I am forever grateful for the endless amounts of things you have done to keep me sane. Sometimes life gets the best of any of us, but there's never a day one of you won't listen to me. I'm difficult sometimes, and I take my frustration out on those close to me, but that never fails you from being a shoulder to cry on.

Friends come and go, but I'm confident that you are friends to stay. There is no group of people I have felt more comfortable to enclose my toughest times and biggest secrets to. Without judgment, or maybe a little judgment at my stupidity, you never fail to talk me through the situation and make me feel confident that life goes on. The things and stress I am dealing with are bearable. I can't let one bump in the road determine who I am, or how I perceive myself.

I can be hard to talk to, hard to get ahold of and sometimes I don't listen, but you still care, and for that, I am thankful. I can't begin to express how glad I am for the things you do for me. I am forever indebted to you. You are my rocks and my backbones. Most importantly, you are my people. I appreciate everything you do for me. I only hope that I can reciprocate the same amount of comfort to you because you deserve that.

People lose touch, and although we don't speak every day, I am confident that I could call you at any time, or any place with any situation I need. Just recently, I found myself lonely, and uncomfortable. I found any reason to avoid social situations, and I spent the majority of my time in my dorm watching Netflix or attempting to do homework. You came along and put a stop to that. You have picked me up from some of the darkest places I have ever seen myself. I continue to entrust that kind of faith in you because I know you'll always be someone to lean on. I know for many years from now, I can continue you to count on you for anything.

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.
