You're more than just the pretty girl.

A Letter To My Bombshell Best Friend

Let's get the obvious facts out of the way: you're gorgeous, your Instagram pictures are pretty solid competition for Beyoncé, you've got more friends than you cant count, your style is always on point, and you are nothing short of a local celebrity. I see through all of that, though, I see you. Now, let's talk about the less obvious things, the things most people look over. Let's talk about how there is much more to you than what people see

You're kind. With looks like yours and a social atmosphere so exclusive as the one you live in, it's easy to lose yourself in the day-to-day superficiality of it all. Even more so, it's easy to get caught up in how people define you and what they set you up to be. So, yes, you are beautiful and you're part of exclusive social circles, but you don't let that get to you. Your looks are one thing, but your approach to others is completely different. You are beautiful, but mostly because you don't feel that your appearance gives you an upper hand in this world.

You're brilliant. Let's be real, you are a total book worm. People may not understand how important your intellect and your future is to you, but I see through those Instagram party pictures. I know that your Thirsty Thursdays are preceded and followed by countless hours of studying. And even more than that, I know how 'street smart' you are, I've seen you manage through uncomfortable and often devastating personal hardships. People may not understand the extent of your brilliance, but I see how much you can shine.

You're tough. Absolutely nobody can trample you. There's never been a moment when I have felt the need to stand up for you because you fend extremely well by yourself. And, honestly, I know I can count on you to throw some punches around, the extent of your toughness is not limited to just words and wittiness. But you don't leave it at that. Resourcefulness is also one of your strong suit, something that's never really clear by just looking at your Twitter or your Instagram.

There's more to you than being 'you.' There's more to you than what you lead on, there's more to you than your social 'you.' I know what people see, the stereotype, the idealized girl, the shell of a girl who is otherwise so much more. So, I guess, what I want to say with all of this is that I see through all of that and I admire you for everything, not just what's on the outside. But even more still, I admire you because being beautiful on the outside isn't enough for you, and that's what truly makes you a bombshell.

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.
