Mom & Dad,

I want to start by saying thank you. Thank you for everything you guys do. You both always make sure that we have everything we need and even most things we want. You both always make sure I know that I can talk to you guys if I am ever feeling upset and I am SO grateful for that.

Not many people are as lucky as I am to have the relationships with their parents that I have. I couldn't ask to be any closer to my parents. The relationship we have is so special and I wouldn't trade it for the world. When I am feeling down, I know all I have to do is go to one of you and we will figure it out and find a way to make me feel better. There is nothing you guys are better at than making sure I know how loved and special I am, and I couldn't be more grateful for that.

Mom,

Thank you for working three jobs to make sure we have everything we need & want. I don't know of anyone who works as hard as you do. Thank you for watching episode after episode of Grey's Anatomy with me even when I know you're exhausted. Thank you for coming in my room and having sleepover with me .5 seconds after I text you that I can't fall asleep. Thank you for cuddling with me and scratching my back when I don't feel good. Thank you for always letting me buy stuff on Amazon... even when i don't need it. Lastly, thank you for always calling me beautiful, even though I already know that ;)

Dad,

Thank you for always making me laugh. Thank you for working 12 hour days so that, like mom, we can have all of the things we want and need. Thank you for texting me dad jokes out of nowhere just to make me smile, it means more than you know. Thank you for always telling me that if I ever need anyone to talk to, all I need is to let you know. I love that we have the relationship that we have, because not many people are lucky enough to have such an amazing relationship with their father.

I hope that when you guys read this, you are able to understand how much I truly love and appreciate the two of you, I am so lucky to have parents who are still in love and who care so so much for us. I know that no matter what, you both support me and love me and I couldn't be any more grateful.

I love you always.

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.
