Dear Whoever You Are,

Hey. What's up? So weird that we will be married one day huh? We may actually already be married, just depends on when you are reading this. So listen here, bud. I have been praying for you for so long. You have no idea. One year at a church camp, we were encouraged to pray for our future spouses and write them a letter. So that's what I did. That is what I have been doing. It is weird to think that while I am writing this, you are out there doing something. I may have met you before; I may not have. Either way though, you exist. You have been through things. You have certain things that make you laugh and things that make you cry. You have fears. You have accomplishments. All of these things I can not WAIT to learn about.

I want to spend time with you and get to know everything about you. I want you to tell me all about your day, whether it be good or bad. I want to know you. I want to adopt a dog with you. I want to have ice cream at 3 a.m. with you. I want to travel the world with you. I want to paint with you. I want to take photos with you. I want to do life with you.

Besides this, I just had a few things I wanted to say to you.

First, as weird as it is to say, congrats. You're married. To me. I'm gonna assume that since we are married, you kinda like me. I'll go ahead and let you know-- once I love somebody, I really love them. You won't have to worry about losing me. I don't give up on people very easily.

Second, I'm sorry. I am sorry you have to put up with me. I am sorry you're going to lose sleep because you'll be up with me at 4 a.m. laughing our heads off at something that isn't even funny. I am sorry you will have to listen to my lame jokes and puns that are so awful it hurts. I am sorry you will be dragged into impromptu dance parties while cleaning the house. I am sorry you are living with three dogs and ten cats. I am sorry you have to deal with me crying over everything.

Last, thank you. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for vowing to stick with me until death do us part. Thank you for being a strong Christian man that sticks to his faith. Thank you for being a great father to our children. Thank you for being my husband. Thank you for never getting tired of me. Thank you for being an example for everyone.

So if you're reading this before we are married-- maybe even before we've met, I can't wait to do life with you. And if you're reading this after we are already married, let's go out and have a fun life.

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.
