To The Best Friend I Wasn't Expecting

Thank God for college and you.

Dear BFF,

I believe that everything happens for a reason. I believe that people come into your life when you need them the most. I believe that someone somewhere placed you into my life for a reason. Starting college everyone told me, "you'll find your people", or "you'll find your college family". Now I can say, I've found my family. I've found the best friend that I'll be going through the upcoming years with.

When we first met over the summer before our first semester of college, even you said you didn't think we'd be the best of friends. We ended up spending most of the week together, we met each other's moms and promised we would FaceTime. Up until move-in day, we tagged each other in pictures on Facebook counting down the days until we got to start our new lives. Here we are with only four weeks left of the semester, our new lives have started, and I don't know how I would've survived without you.

Since we met (which seems like forever ago), we've seen each other through a lot. We spent about an hour crying in my car after our first anatomy class, and during our cry session, you started to laugh hysterically--which made me think you were kind of psycho. We've had sleepovers, Netflix nights, and told our deepest darkest secrets. We've gone on an adventure to find cool rural roads in Indiana, all while having a vent session. We've sat in parking lots for hours listening to music, laughing, and sometimes crying. We went to our first party together and you showed me the store where EVERYTHING is a dollar. Even the plates.

You have accepted me on my days where I don't feel like doing anything, the days I just want to go home, and on the days when I wake you up at 11AM and tell you I'm coming over, only to actually make you go to the cafeteria and get food with me. (She isn't a morning person, y'all. AT ALL.) You've accepted my depression, my boy-craziness--that you go right along with, my anxiety, all of my quirks, and I don't have the words to thank you for that.

I have a few things to thank you for...

Thank you for screaming "BUCKLE UP" when I've forgotten to put my seatbelt on, even if we're only in a parking lot.

Thank you for telling me that I deserve better than that guy from the other night.

Thank you for constantly telling me you're happy to have me in your life.

Thank you for being the funniest person I know and making me laugh so hard I cry every time we're together, which is pretty much 25/8. (Yes people, I'm aware that it's '24/7'.

You're the sweetest, funniest, most emotional, psycho person I know but I wouldn't have you any other way. You have a beautiful soul and I thank you for instilling some of that in me. I can't wait to live together next year and do life. This kind of sounds like a love letter but that's fine because you're bae. I could go on and on, but I'll stop here. I love you so much!

With all my love,

Your forever friend

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.
