To the angel who was taken too soon,

My heart still skips a beat when the clock strikes five, and your old soccer numbers the first thing that comes to mind. A tear still tickles my cheek as the 26^th of each month comes, and the months that you’ve been gone continue to count on. Your gravestone has become a monument for those who adored you and release a sense of comfort for those who loved you.

To my angel who was taken too soon, I want you to know I live each day with you by my side, although you may not be there physically I know spiritually we walk hand in hand. Your body may lay to rest now, but your spirit continues to carry on. When the skies turn to grey and the days seem to grow longer, I think back to the times we shared and they never fail to make a rainbow appear from up high. When nothing seems to be going right and the stress starts to kick in, I look down at my dashboard to your smiling face on your prayer card, reminding me that this isn’t the end. As our old favorite song suddenly turns on the radio, I look over to my empty passenger seat, and know that you are with me dancing and laughing as my frown begins to curve into a smile.

To my angel who was taken to soon, I hope you received every balloon released in the sky for you and every prayer read out loud for you. I hope you can see all the lives you’ve touched, and all the perspectives you’ve changed since you left us. I hope you see how many people love you, and know how many people think of you each second of every day. I hope your braces are now off your teeth and that you no longer need your glasses. I hope your out of pain and all your wounds are healed. Most importantly I hope you know that an angel like you is irreplaceable, and wherever we may go, you may tag along too. For, your story hasn’t ended yet, it has just begun. This is simply just a semicolon in your sentence, waiting to be continued, for when we meet again.

To my angel who was taken too soon, I love you and I miss you more than words can explain, but I live for the day that I’ll see you again.

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.

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.
