To The Friend That Inspired Me To Be More
Xena Raymond

To my soul sister/brother,

Imagine something for me. Imagine your world without me in it. Imagine if we had never met or if we had a falling out...can you? I can't. I can't imagine being here on this planet without you. I can't because you're my other half.

You're the one person who has been in my life consistently and who has pushed me to be everything that I am today. You've helped me with every struggle, wiped every tear and showed me the true meaning of friendship. I would choose you to be my best friend in every lifetime.

You've taught me that true friendship isn't about gifts or social status. It's about who will pick you up when you fall. It's about helping each other through some of the toughest times of your lives. It's about knowing every flaw about each other, every little quirk and still loving each other for the person they are. We need more people like you in this world.

You are the most genuine, selfless and bighearted person I've ever met. You love making people happy. You put everyone else before yourself. You like showing everyone else their worth even when you don't believe in your own. You don't give yourself enough credit or receive the same amount of kindness that you give. It hurts me when others treat you so badly because to me, you're the greatest gift anyone could ever receive.

I am lucky enough to live this lifetime while calling you my best friend. Here's to late night phone calls and gossip about the stupid things in our lives. Here's to wrapping each other up in blankets just to make the other feel better, to lying in each other's laps and crying until we drool. Here's to staying up late and watching 50 Shades of Grey because we can and to laughing hysterically over our clumsiness (your clumsiness really).

Thank you for being my partner in crime and my go to. Thank you for helping me come out of my shell and never judging the person I am. Thank you for helping me develop into my true self; my best self. No one could ever replace you.

Sincerely,

Your Person

"True friends guide us through tough waters and show us the right path in dark times. You are my anchor, my true friend." - Unknown

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.
