If you know me, you know I love the 80's. The music, the clothes, the movies. I'm all about that decade. My roomie and I have been listening to the 1980's pandora radio station for a week. No joke. I often say I was born in the wrong decade and should have been born in the 80's. It's the decade that brought us some of the greatest artists, television shows, and fashion trends. Here are the things that make the 80's great...

1. Scrunchies are the best hair accessory invented. period.

2. The music. The music. Oh, and did I mention the music?

3. Seriously, who doesn't wish they could've gone to a rock concert in the 80's?

4. Legwarmers are both stylish and comfortable. And they can make anyone feel like a dancer.

5. Say Anything showed us what a true romantic gesture looks like. Take notes, boys.

6. Journey taught us to never stop believing.

7. The lingo was totally rad.

8. It was perfectly okay for your hair to be ridiculously huge and frizzy. That was considered cool.

9. Pac-man.

10. The 80's took us to the future.

11. The Breakfast Club. Need I say more?

12. Flashdance taught us to chase our dreams, no matter the odds.

13. Have I mentioned how awesome the movies were?

When Harry Met Sally, Sixteen Candles, Pretty in Pink, Dirty Dancing, Half of the Star Wars trilogy, the list goes on!

14. Jazzercise

15. Oh, and we can't forget the blue eye shadow.

Basically, the 80's were "radical." And if you haven't seen an 80's movie, you've been missing out. Go watch one.

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.

"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!
