1. It's impossible to make all the right decisions all the time.

No one's always right and no one's always wrong and that's something we just need to accept.

2. Sometimes it's not always clear to see which decision is "right" and which is "wrong".

Sometimes the only way to figure out if something is right or wrong is just to try it and see what happens. You can always change your mind and pick something else if it ends up being wrong.

3. Right and wrong are subjective.

We subconsciously let others choose what's right and wrong for us sometimes, but what's right for someone else might be wrong for you.

4. Sometimes a decision can be the right one in one instance, but then the wrong one in another.

Something might feel right in the moment, but then when you look back on it, you might realize that it wasn't actually the right decision. We can't beat ourselves up for these moments, because we didn't know how we would view this decision in another moment.

5. Occasionally you need to choose the wrong thing for it to teach you something.

This is one that can be seen in countless movies and TV shows, where someone does something wrong, but because of that they ended up better off. Sometimes choosing the wrong thing can teach us a lesson.

6. You're only human.

As Hannah Montana says in her hit song "Nobody's Perfect," "Everybody makes mistakes, everybody has those days." We're only human and most humans, whether or not we like to admit it, are pretty problematic. Being problematic sometimes is okay though, especially when we're young because we're still learning the ropes on this thing called "life."

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

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.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"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!
