I never in a million thought I was going to be writing this, it feels like just yesterday we were "twelve years old, know it all" kids.We had our ups, downs, tears, and laughs. We have to admit it was one hell of a ride. Late night phone calls, summer music festivals, bonfires, car rides blasting Mayday Parade songs through the speakers. We made a lot of memories during high school, and I will never forget them. I want to thank you for being my squad, my number one fans and my second family. I will forever and always cherish you guys.

I hope you all are following your passion, and dreams that we all once talked about during sixth grade lunch. I hope you are still running the bases, drawing pictures of awesome things that make you happy, or even sleeping comfortably in your bed. No matter what you all are doing at this very moment in time, I hope you all find the happiness, love and encouragement in this world.

I thank you for being my best friends since I was an awkward, shy, overly quiet kid in middle school. We first became friends because of the My Chemical Romance t-shirt that I wore in sixth grade homeroom. I thank you for being my support system through the first couple days of high school, and being my rock through any situation I found myself in. I thank you for giving me some of the best memories that I will carry throughout my life.

"And you dropped the note and we changed key. You changed yourself and I changed me. I really didn’t see us singing through this. Then you screamed the bridge and I cried the verse. And our chorus came out unrehearsed And you smiled the whole way through it. I guess, maybe, that’s what’s worse." - Mayday Parade, If you wanted a song written about you, all you had to do was ask. No matter where life takes us I hope each and everyone of you sing your favorite songs at the top of your lungs. I hope it reminds you of less complex days, and always puts a smile on your face when you are feeling down, and most importantly reminds you of all the good times we shared.

Miss you all tons, keep following your dreams and never give up.

Forever Rachel

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.
