Whatever your New Year's Resolution may be, these reminders are ones we should all remember to live by daily. Who better to take life advice from than Ross, Rachel, Joey, Phoebe, Chandler and Monica?

1. Make jokes, be sarcastic and laugh at yourself.

Life is way too short to be so serious.

2. Don't let "adulting" be a negative thing, make the most of it.

Sure paying bills and going to work everyday sucks, but the rest of our adult lives don't have to.

3. Let go of the past, and don't let regret consume you.

Stressing over the past won't change anything, so just let it go and allow yourself to move on.

4. Surround yourself with people who matter.

And only people who matter. I promise it makes a difference.

5. Be straightforward and fight for what you believe in.

Never back down from what you believe is right, even if it means stepping on a few toes along the way.

6. Always say YES to trying new things.

Except drugs, of course.

7. Be honest with yourself and everyone around you.

Honesty is the best policy, in every situation. Even the ones where it seems like a good idea to lie.

8. Never give up, even when things get tough.

Nobody ever said life was fair, and nobody ever said it would be easy. Don't let that stop you.

9. Believe that you ARE good enough, and embrace who you are.

We are our own worst critics, but if we don't believe in ourselves then nobody else ever will. Be the change.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
