To the woman who has taught me everything,

Who you are as a person has never ceased to amazing me. You have always made sure that everyone around you is okay. To those who have wronged you and continue to wrong you, you have shown nothing but kindness and have always kept smiling. You are the bravest woman I know, and for that I will always be thankful.

You have taught me everything you know, from how to choose my own battles and how to always treat myself as a princess. You were able to teach me how to stand up for myself but also how to pride myself on still being OK, even when my days became weak and cold. I will always cherish each moment you were with me, especially when I had needed you the most.

You have made me stronger than I once was and I am now ready for whatever college and life has decided to bring onto my path of success. I know that you will always be by my side and support me with whatever decision I decide to make. I know I will succeed with your help, because I can achieve anything with a supporter and believer as strong as lions — as strong as you.

I love you with all my heart and I promise that I will be OK. I will be able to conquer my doubts, because you've taught me to be tougher than even my toughest storms. I will be able to love fully and kindly, as that is who I am and am no longer afraid to be. I know that I will win and you will see me cross my finish line. You will be able to see me smile, as I receive my degree because I am the daughter of a woman who can cast storms, vibe with nature, and run with the wolves. In the words of Carrie Underwood: "You have given me everything that I will need, so now you have to let your baby fly."

I will be alright, I promise, so please do not worry about me, mom.

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.
