10 Things I'll Never Do, And That's OK

These are a few of the things that I know I will never do.

Here are some of the things that I will never do, and I'm OK with it. I've come to terms with my limits, and you should too.

1. Become A Runner

Plain and simple; I hate running. I have asthma and thighs that rub together when I run. I have lost all hope of ever actually liking running, and that's fine. I do have an incredible amount of respect for runners though.

2. Eat Meat

I've been a vegetarian for a year and a half now and there's no way I'm going back. Not only would it probably make me very ill, I just can't stand the thought of eating anything with a face ever again.

3. Be A Size Two

I'm a big supporter of body positivity. Whatever body you were given, love it. If you're a size two, rock it. If you're a size 18, rock it. I know that my body was never meant to be a size two, and I'm okay with it.

4. Be An Olympian

My Olympic dreams were crushed a long time ago when I was a figure skater who started too late. I will never be good enough at a sport to go to the Olympics, and that's fine. I rock at other things like being a mom to my dog and drinking orange juice on a daily basis.

5. Shut Up

I love my big mouth and loud opinions, they're what make me so darn lovable (and loath-able). I will never hold my tongue on things that are important to me, and that is perfectly OK.

6. Graduate In Four Years

It just isn't in the books for me to finish college in a four year window, and that's OK. I'll get there when I get there.

7. Be Completely Independent

Let's face it, I will always rely on my parents for things. How to check my tire pressure, how to file my taxes, how to pay rent. Just some of the things that I will always call up good ol' Mom and Dad for. I will always have their love and support, and that's OK.

8. Love Any Being More Than My Dog

She's the love of my life. She gets me and is always there to listen. I love her to death and that will never change.

9. Kick My Caffeine Addiction

Coffee is a daily necessity. Whether it's for the taste or the caffeine, I will never truly know. I just know that I love it, I need it and that's OK.

10. Give Up Cursing

Sorry, Mom. It has become part of my vocabulary. I will always have a potty mouth. Sometimes it feels good to just say **** it!

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.
