When my parents got divorced, my dad moved into an apartment in our community. Once moving there, I found myself making friends with the girl who lived above us, Nicole, and introduced her to my sister, Sammi. The rest is history. A little four year old girl walking up to an eight year old turned into a bond that has never faded. I see the friendship between Sammi and Nicole and all I do is smile. Because I DID THAT!! I have never seen a friendship like theirs and it is one that everyone strives for. That kind of friendship is one that we all spend our lives looking for. And I absolutely love it. I love it for Sammi because my sister needs that partner in crime. I have never seen her happier than she is right now and I give so much credit to Nicole for that. They bring out the best in each other and it is clear to see. Not only has Nicole become my sister's best friend and greatest ally, she has become another sister to me. My sister and Nicole do exactly what sisters are meant to do. So this is for you guys.

Thank you. Thank you for being there for me during some of the darkest periods of my life and the brightest. Having you guys as shoulders to cry on and my personal hype women is everything to me. I know I am not the easiest to deal with, I know I have my days and my attitudes. But, thank you for understanding me. Knowing me and knowing how to handle Katie just being Katie. You guys brighten a room the moment you two walk in. I have never met two funnier individuals in my life and you two never fail to bring a smile to my face. When I am down, you guys bring me up. When I am mad, you guys are mad for me. You guys would go to war for me and I would do the same for you. I want you guys to know that I will repay you guys for all you have done for me. You guys have given me everything family gives family and more. I do not know what I did to deserve to have you two in my life.

Sammi, you are my sister by chance but my best friend by choice (as cheesy as that sounds). No matter how many times you and I have had our screaming matches, I would not trade you or our relationship for anything else in the world. I am so proud to say that you are my sister. Nicole, you are family. You have the biggest heart and seeing you truly start to love yourself has been the most beautiful thing to see. And I owe you everything for how much you have taken care of Sammi because she is one of the most precious things in the world to me.

I love you both so much and let's have an amazing sistas trip in Disney!!!

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.
