To My Favorite Band, Real Friends

You mean so much to me

To my favorite band, Real Friends -

I get to see you live for the first time in a month and I can't explain how excited I am.

I have followed your music for a few years now, and I never understood why people cry when they meet their favorite musicians - but I'd be lying if I said I won't cry when I see you perform the songs that touched me so deeply live.

Your music has helped me through every break-up, every bad day, every life crisis, and it's helped me feel happy during times I didn't think I could feel happy again.

When I lost my hair to alopecia, your music was something I turned to when I started to feel down on myself.

The first song I ever heard of yours was "Dirty Water", and I'm pretty sure everyone was ready to strangle me because of how much I played that song. I mean, they probably still do with how much I play your music.

It's hard for me to be really sappy, but I am so grateful for you, your talent, and your passion for music. You are one of the few bands that are making music for the right reasons. I haven't even met you and I know you are all so genuine and kind - thank you for that.

Thank you for making my car ride music when I drive home from college, thank you for being my company when I'm having boy drama, thank you for music that makes my happy life even happier.

I didn't know that music or a band could ever affect me this much, but you have.

Keep making music, and please don't ever change. You hold a very special place in my heart and I cannot wait to see what you'll do in the future.

I'll see you on November 16th, and I promise to sing along extra loud.

Sincerely your forever fan,

Sarah

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.
