Have you ever heard your parents talk about those people who have been in their life forever? I never really believed it until now.

Throughout your entire life, you create best friends for different points in your life. In middle school, it was the group of people you sat at lunch with every day and hung out at each other's houses. In high school, it was the group that ate together, hung out together, stressed about homework together, and graduated together. However, because college takes everyone on different paths, it was time to find a new group of people.

I grew up with an older sister, where I saw her small group that stuck together since college. Their plans for each other's weddings, vacation trips, and accomplishments were all sought through. They were there for each other every step of the way. I grew up with guy best friends since I was born, playing sports and being rowdy, but never really having a solid group of girlfriends. However, over the past year, I met 3 people who I trust with my life, and that is the best feeling in the world.

1. Friends Who Care

Claudine Rosca

The best part about true friends is the mutual endless amount of love and care for each other. People who would drop everything to make sure you're okay, to listen to your rant about what's annoying you, or to watch a throwback romance movie because you're bored. Whether it's crying or laughing, the ups or the downs, I am grateful to have these girls be so supportive of me and each other, where every down eventually turns into an up.

2. Friends With Adventures

From exploring new areas, to random car drives, to trying new food places, I can count on these girls to take a dull, boring day and turn it around.

3. Friends You Trust

Claudine Rosca

Being away from our families is hard, and they aren't around to help you or give you advice. The girls are the ones who I trust the most to always look out for my best interest and be my family away from home.

4. Friends With Future Plans

Claudine Rosca

"I better be your bridesmaid for your wedding."

We've been through so much already together, that we also want to be there for the best moments. I don't mind making those kinds of future plans with the people who support and love me.

5. Friends Who Are Irreplaceable

Claudine Rosca

You would think that living in different parts of the country has made it difficult for us to stay together. Over the past summer, I agreed with one of the girls that we talked more with each other than anyone else... and we only had FaceTime. Never in a million years would I have thought that I would meet 3 girls who are very similar to me, people to not only hear your stories but live through them. A group of beautiful, down - to - earth girls who always put everyone else before themselves, that are truly irreplaceable.

At some point, you meet a group of people (small or large), that truly shows you what it means to be like sisters. Because Thanksgiving is right around the corner, try to not only be thankful for your family, but for the people you've met along the way.

I know that I am truly am grateful to have these girls in my life,

friends

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
