10 People We Are Glad We Met
journeymart.com

We meet many good and bad people throughout our lifetime. So many of the people we meet don't impact our lives in a significant way, so always remember to thank the ones who do. Here is a list of 10 people we are all glad we met:

1. Your mentor.
This person is usually a couple years older than you, but you talk to them about everything. You may not go out on the weekends with them, but you two talk on a daily basis, and they actually remind people of an older and more mature version of yourself. You practically strive to be like them (in a non creepy way, of course).

2. Your favorite nail, hair or eyebrow lady.
Whichever you may have (or maybe you're lucky enough to have all three), you can't thank her enough. She is a dream come true. You have been going to this lady for years, and she knows exactly how you want it done. She never messes up. The two of you have become so close, and you know everything about each other’s lives because you spend so much time in her shop. She always squeezes you in last minute and right when you leave you look forward to seeing her again.

3. Your best friend.
This girl is your No. 1. You tell her everything, and she tells you everything. She gives the best advice, and you can sit with her and do nothing for hours and still wouldn't be bored. You could not imagine life without this girl. Who would you cry to when your week went wrong, and who would you celebrate with if your week went right?! This chick is definitely maid of honor status. She’s just the best ever.

4. Your guy best friend.
He’s a lifesaver. You tell each other your relationship problems and, being of opposite sex, you guys can help each other out a little bit. You make him do girly things sometimes, like go shopping with you, which he hates, but does it with you anyways. Everyone admires your friendship with each other, and they always say things like, “Why don't you two just date already?” But, you and your best friend both now that would never happen because you two know too much information about one another for your own good.

5. Your bad influence friend.
This friend knows how to have fun. When you’re down and need to go out on a Monday night, hit this girl up. She is definitely ready to go out any night of the week. When you’re with her your wild side comes out. You’re ready to have a good night. Sometimes she ends up getting the both of you into a sticky situation and of course looks at you to get you guys out of it. But, hey you still love her!

6. Your roommates.
The only people you can stand to share a kitchen with. A lot of your friends are gross, and you could not imagine having to clean up after them. But, you and your roommates work well together. You're all pretty orderly and now living with them a couple years you guys know what to expect out of one another. There haven't been too many problems, and you all enjoy each other’s company.

7. Your class buddy.
This person always comes in clutch. You two have the same major and do so many class projects together. Your class buddy takes notes for you when you're not there and vice versa. You two definitely know how to help each other out. You can call this person the night before a paper is due and ask them 100 questions about it, and they seem to know what to do. Thank the lord for this class buddy!

8. Your favorite teacher.
This is the teacher that you still talk to after not being in their class for over a year or so. You are actually friends with this teacher. You and the teacher text to catch up on life and occasionally go and get lunch. You love hearing about their life and how their kids are doing. This teacher taught you so much, and you couldn't be more grateful to have them in your life.

9. Your ex-boyfriend.
This is the dude that taught you exactly what you do not want in a man. You should thank him for that. We all need to figure out what we like in a relationship, and he made it that much easier for you to know. Yeah, he sucked, but what ex-boyfriend didn’t? That’s why he’s your ex. Remember?

10. Your boyfriend.
This is the guy that you love and care so much about. You’re so happy to be with him, and he makes you a better person each day. Yes, it sounds lame, but you miss him even when you go on a short two-day vacation. You can definitely see possible marriage potential between the two of you. You love this guy, and he loves you.

Appreciate these 10 people in your life because if weren't for them, you wouldn't be where you are today. You go to these people in time of need and they are always there to help you. You have learned so much from these people and vice versa. So now take a moment and just send a simple thank you text to them. (Well, maybe not your ex, that might be a little awkward.)

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

As you meet more and more people over the course of your college career, it seems to be a pattern that you will at some point have that one friend that doesn't live with you, but acts like they do. We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.

We all have a person, and when that person makes some new friends, we tend to forget all the great things that can come out of it. Never forget how special they are to you and why you are best friends.
