To my past and present friends,

I love you all so, so, very much! Most of us just graduated high school and I couldn't be more proud of the people we've become! I wish every one of you the best as we move on to a new chapter of our lives.

We became friends in freshmen year at lunch, not knowing who to sit by, yet we all came together somehow from different backgrounds and we made it work. I swear on my life we had the best time of our lives this year. I don't know if it's because we were naive, stereotypical freshman or because we just wanted to live life to the fullest and with no regrets. I, personally think it's the latter, mostly because everyone hated us when we hung out after school laughing obnoxiously in the lobby.

I remember sophomore year, we all branched out into our own mini groups, but we all respected each other. Lunch was still the highlight of the day and French class. Being one of the oldest in our French class was one of the best things. All the freshmen looked up to us. Mrs. Sullivan hated us, I swear, she didn't know how to deal with us calling each other across the room in the middle of class, or when my phone went off the one day I had the 'Sophia The First' theme song as my ringtone!

Junior year came and went and we barely said a word to each other. It wasn't 'cause we hated each other. We were just busy trying to find ourselves, who we wanted to be and where we wanted to go.

Senior year finally happened and we rekindled friendships, talked together more often and smiled more! This was my favorite year by far. Reminiscing about the years and what happened and what would've been. It was all good until prom rolled around and we started finalizing were we would go after graduation. From the local college down the street to Kent, Tennessee, Michigan and the workforce. It makes me sad seeing you all go. I honestly do hope we all keep in touch, whether it's liking each others' posts on Instagram to the occasional text.

Thank you all for the memories I'll truly never forget. Remember the food fight that happened in the commons and we ran all the way to Dieser's room because we got hit with a munchies box and a Gatorade bottle, or when we would only eat Flamin Hot's for lunch or nothing at all! I remember when Brittany J. blew up a condom so big that it popped when we were hanging out in the lobby.

Every day after leaving lunch early freshman year we would play 'In the Arms of an Angel' on full blast! I have no clue how we didn't get caught. Or that time when this guy was sending his friends over to get my number freshman year and you(my favorite redhead) told them that we were lesbians and you were my girlfriend! Thanks for that by the way.

I've had so many memories of you guys that are making it hard to let go, but, I know I need to...

So farewell my beauts, I love you and wish the best. I hope you never forget where you belong.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
