To My Mom as I Head to College

"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always..."

Hey Mom!

This one is for you as I leave for college, again. The house is quiet without me around, isn't it? It's kind of weird not being it home, but I'm getting used to it. I hope you're adjusting to the quietness of just Garrett, you and the pups! I just wanted to tell you a few things.

First, I will always appreciate everything you do for me. When you text me 5 times in a row (because I'm probably sleeping) asking if I like a certain shirt or blanket, or even just something small like canvas or quote sign, it means a lot to me. It is the little things like that that I appreciate because it means that you're thinking about me (of course you are!)!

Next, as much as I am a grump and complain about it, I love our breakfast dates. We all know that I'm not a morning person, but going to Eat'n'Park with you, almost weekly, makes getting out of bed a little bit easier. Even though you sometimes try to get me up at 8:30, I enjoy the time we spend together eating some great (& unhealthy) food.

Lastly, I want to thank you for your unconditional love. Thank you for loving me even when I change my major multiple times. Thank you for loving me when I give you some 'tude. And thank you for loving me whenever I am crazy hyper and bouncing off of the walls. Without your love, I would be a sad college student, and we already know how that would work out.

So while I'm here at college, and you're at home cheering me on, just know that I appreciate all of the things you do, especially the little things. I love you so much & wouldn't want anyone else to be my mother.

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.
