7 Important Pieces Of Life Advice From My Mom
Julia Niklewicz

Moms are the greatest gift you have in life. They shape you into the person that you have become and they will always be there for you. They also give the best advice when its needed and are always there for you.

1. Never go to bed mad.

We've all done it and woken up feeling so much worse. No matter what hard thing you're going through or who's giving you a hard time, you should never go to bed mad. Even if you can't resolve your issue with a specific person, find joy in something or someone else. Call up your best friend, talk to your mom, watch your favorite tv show.

2. Get rid of toxic people. Surround yourself with people who treat you right.

Sometimes it's hard to know who has the right intentions, but it's clear that if someone wrongs you more than once you need to move on. It may be scary to get rid of friends but sometimes it's what needs to be done.

3. Always be kind, you never know what someone else is going through.

Kindness is key, even a smile to a stranger can change that person's day. You never know everything that someone is going through, so make sure that you treat everyone with respect. Also, little acts of kindness can go a far way.

4. There's nothing like a great sister.

Your siblings are your best friends that you're stuck with, but they can relate to you in a way that no one else can. Never take your siblings for granted because they love you more than you know.

5. You can do anything you set your heart and your mind to.

Never get discouraged, life can be hard sometimes. The best part is that if you really want something, you can achieve it if you keep trying. But also remember to not waste your time on something you really don't care about.

6. Friendship should be easy.

When you find the right people it should be easy. Yes, everyone goes through rough patches with their friends, but you shouldn't have to work so hard to be great friends with someone. Also, always remember friendship is a two way street.

7. When all else fails, just know your mom will always be there for you.

No matter what life hands you, your mom will always be there waiting with open arms, and if you're away at school, a phone call or FaceTime call can do the trick too.

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.
