20 Relatable First World Problems

First world problems are things that we all experience that are essentially just minor inconveniences throughout our day-to-day lives. Are they worth complaining about? Probably not but I'm about to list them off anyway. Here are 20 first world problems that I list off while I sip on my too-hot latte:

1. Having No Wifi

Having your wifi go out while you're on the season finale of Grey's Anatomy?? Tragic. Even if it's the 4th time you are watching the series and you already know that everyone eventually dies in the show.

2. Having a 9 a.m. class... on a FRIDAY

Staying up way too late on Thursday and then having to wake up for that 9 a.m. class on Friday, the worst. On second thought, is that 9 a.m. even worth the hassle?

3. Chipped Nail Polish

You know that horror when you just painted your nails the night before and they already started chipping.

4. A Wardrobe Full of Clothes, but NOTHING to Wear

Every morning is spent staring at clothes that you just don't feel like wearing for whatever reason. This usually results in wearing the same 3 outfits, like every week.

5. When Dominos is Taking too Long on Your Delivery

I ordered my pizza 5 minutes ago. Why isn't it here yet? I'm hungry right now.

6. Running Out of Hot Water

I've been in the shower for 30 minutes contemplating life and have yet to start washing my hair, why is the water cold now? Rude.

7. When the Line At Starbucks Makes You Late For Class

I had to have my coffee this morning or I was just going to die, but the baristas just took so long and now I'm late.

8. Commercials

I forgot this was live TV, now I can't fast forward through commercials and now I'm bored.

9. When you get cozy in Bed...

but them you remember you have homework due at midnight and it's 11 p.m. right now.

10. When your Phone Charger Doesn't Reach Your Bed

This is just disrespectful.

11. Changing your Password on Anything

Then you have to re-log-in on every electronic device. Laptop, phone, tablet, etc.

12. Being Hungry But Having No Food Around

You know when you open and close your fridge about 17 times hoping that food will magically appear and then it never does?

13. When Your Headphones Get Tangled

Over time you stick your headphones in your pocket, even if it's just for a minute, they somehow become tangled.

14. Catching Up On Your Favorite Show

When you've been binge-watching New Girl for the last week and are now all caught up and have to wait for the next season.

15. Not Getting As Many Likes or Retweets As You Wanted

When the world doesn't think you're as funny as you think you are.

16. When People Have Their Instagrams on 'Private'

You worked so hard to find people on Instagram to stalk but they have their profiles on private, how dare they?

17. Online Shopping

The worst is buying the wrong size and then being too lazy to ship it back so now you're stuck with a shirt that you're never going to wear and wasted money.

18. Going into a Food Coma

I am so full that I might just explode. Why did I eat all that food? Oh. My. Gosh. I just ate so much.

19. Pringles Cans

My hand is just too big to fit and having to tilt the can is just so much work.

20. That Low Battery 10% Notification

My phone is dying but my charger is on the other side of the room... I'm just going to continue playing on my phone and then complain when it dies.

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.

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.
