So I drive a mini-van, and you know what? It's great. I love it. Granted, one of the doors doesn't open, the bumper is still smashed from when I backed into a dumpster and the A/C doesn't work, but I stand by my statement. My mini-van has been with me through some tough shit. It's seen McDonald's, Taco Bell, Buffalo Wild Wings and Sweetwater's Donuts in the wee-hours of the night more times than I can count. It's seen some of my angriest rants. It's hosted some of my wildest sing-along's. It's taken me across the state of Michigan and back more times than it should've been able to. Is it frustrating sometimes when there's only one parking spot left in the Cheesecake Factory lot and it's too tight? Yes, yes it is. Do I sometimes shed a tear or two while I'm filling up my tank? Maybe so. But you know what? We all have to make sacrifices for love. If you drive a mini-van, and have a heart, this one's for you.

1. You'll Do Anything To Avoid Parallel Parking

2. You've Fully Embraced The Soccer Mom Aesthetic

3. You're The Go-To Driver For Road Trips

4. You've Got The Perfect Car For Christmas Shopping

5. You've Lost Countless Things In Your Backseat

6. You've Got Enough Pillows, Blankets, And Clothes In Your Backseat That You Could Camp Out If Need Be

7. You Left All Your Shame About It Behind After About A Week

8. You're Notoriously "The Friend With The Mini-Van"

9. You've Given It A Very Telling Name, Like Susan or Karen, Or In My Case Debbie

10. You Might Be Perceived As "Lame," But You Feel Like A Certified Adult

11. You Have A Special Place To Hide Out During Your Mental Breakdowns

12. You And Your Mini-Van Have An Unbreakable Emotional Bond

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.
