To My Parents-Short & Sweet

To The Ones who raised me & showed me my roots.

Wow, 18 years. It's been a hell of a battle.

From going back and forth each weekend and trying to figure out so many things. It hasn't been exactly easy either. Whether it was from the "She said He said" drama, or battles within myself as i grew up. With growing up, my eyes have opened up to see some of the many things you've prepared me for as well as warned me about.

The world is full of adventure and you both told me to seize the moment and to make the most out of everything. Whether I has used my mom's precise routines and scheduling or my dad's creative ability to turn something tedious into something enjoyable.

I feel that I'm on my way to finding my purpose and I think it's safe to say- I'm doing okay.

We all have our moments where we just need some re-enforcement to keep pushing forward, to keep aiming high and reaching out for our goals, along with success. I guess this is just a huge transitioning point.

To make the most of the little things, stay positive, and to know I do have a purpose....

It's just the beginning of my journey to find out just what that may be.

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.

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.
