5. "Are you grilling tonight?"

6. "So I think I want a big wedding; just warning you."

7. *Watching sports: "Wait what just happened?"

8. "Can I have your credit card info? It's just for textbooks..."

9. *Insert complaint about siblings: "You're on my side, right?"

10. "Who are you voting for?"

11. "Let's watch Bridesmaids."

12. "What are your thoughts on getting another dog?"

13. "Yes, he's my boyfriend."

14. "Yes, he treats me well."

15. "Yes, he knows you will kill him if he doesn't."

16. "Eh, lets just go out to eat instead."

17. "I think I'm broke. Am I?"

Thank you for making me laugh. Thank you for the random phone calls and FaceTimes and for being my best friend. Thank you for standing up for me even when I was wrong, and thank you for getting me back on my feet when I fell.

Your hard work goes often too unnoticed, so I hope you know how loved and appreciated you are. As the years pass and we both get older, understand that I wouldn't be the woman I am today without you and your constant support. Even though you no longer change my diapers, attempt to put my hair in a ponytail, pick me up from gymnastics, or coach my softball team, please know that one thing hasn't changed: I'm still your little girl.

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun.
