I Wish This For You, My Past, Present And Future Gals

123rf

It's funny, I'd never think by age 22 I would have experienced this much heartbreak.

I'm not talking about boys. I'm talking about the heartbreak you can experience with friends.

To the friends who have come and gone. To the friends who have hurt me or pushed me down. You, too, have broken my heart.

I think my heart broke more from you than any guy or boyfriend I've ever had a relationship with. I've always been warned that girls are catty, petty, or just bitches.

Well, universe, you were right, and I don't think there is any way around it.

This is just a fact. Something we must accept.

I'm sure I fall into one of these categories as well, but here I am able to own up. ADMIT IT.

Ladies,

Past, present, and future friends: you struggle with this truth about yourself. You fear the judgment from others. You're embarrassed. You let your own insecurities stand in the way of your ability to uncover who you really are.

It's not my job to tell you to work on this; you have to want it for yourself. However, it is my hope that one day you will be at peace about all of this, and all of those insecurities will fade away.

I wish this for you. When the next set of people walk into your life, they will be able to see the truest, most pure form of yourself.

You deserve to let the world see you for who you truly are.

I wish this for you. Even though I know I won't be lucky enough to see it for myself.

I wish you embrace this form of you because I know it is beautiful. I know it is elegant.

I'm sorry I will always remember how you made me feel in this moment, but one day I will hear how you have grown. These feelings will start to disappear.

You may not be present right now, but you will still have a place in my heart. I will carry these memories with me always.

I wish this for you.

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.
