"You deserve the world. Be patient."

Lately, I've started to take this quote to heart. Sure it's not a fancy, long quote, but the simplicity of it is the point. It's that you deserve to be treated how you want to be treated and to not settle for anything less than what you want. It never fails to amaze me how someone I've known for a week does more for me than someone I've known for years. Breakups are never easy but there's comfort in knowing that the best is yet to come, and that all it takes is for one person to prove your past relationships wrong.

So choose.

Choose someone who always, always asks about your day.

Choose someone who drives two hours only to see you for one just because they wanted to see you.

Choose someone who never hesitates to put you first.

Choose someone who tells you just how much you mean to them.

Choose someone who respects you.

Choose someone that will show you off.

Choose someone that supports you and never stops encouraging you.

Choose someone who will love you unconditionally.

Choose someone who wants to grow with you.

Be patient, know that you deserve to be treated like a queen and to anyone who doesn't see that or just can't seem to "get it", let them go. I promise that the best is yet to come, just be patient.

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.

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.
