To The Friends I Cherish The Most, Thank You

Because you literally show up outside of my house and call me outside, just to give me a muffin and ask me how I am: thank you.

Let's talk about friends for a second.

You know those friends that you always hear about in the movies or read about in books and stuff? You know, the ones that pick you up out of nowhere just to hang out and who make spontaneous trips to the beach and different cities and whatnot?

I honestly didn't think those friends existed, but they do, and they're absolutely the best people I could've ever hoped to be friends with.

Summer's always a bit difficult for me, especially in the beginning. After a stressful semester in a college that's seven or eight hours away from my hometown and my home friends, it's always a bit disorienting to come back home.

After an entire school year with different people, it's nice to come back to friends that I've known since childhood and have grown up with; to me, it feels like love and home at the same time.

I'm not sure if you know this, but our times together are always my favorite part of summer; regardless of what we do, being together is always big enough to make my day happier.

Every time we're together, we do so many interesting and fun things! From our Just Dance parties, browsing around Target, to even sitting down with fast food in the parking lot and talking for hours is enough to make any sad person happy again.

You all make me feel grateful for the times that I have at home and remind me to always keep my head held high no matter what the obstacle is.

You understand where I come from and the struggles that we all mutually have, but the most beautiful part of it all is that there's no judgment in terms of who we are and what we want to achieve in life.

You bring me back to the real world and remind me that being a kid, even though I'm 21, isn't a bad thing!

We're all allowed to be children and enjoy our lives; there are too many ugly things out there for us not to enjoy ourselves to the fullest.

All of you are wonderful, beautiful people who I have high hopes for in the future. I have no doubt that you will all do amazing things in life and find happiness wherever you go! We might all be a little bit different, but at the end of the day, all that matters is that we'll still always be there for each other.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being an important part of my life; here's to many more years full of friendship and laughter.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
