Have you been freaking out about the #NODAPL lately? Had it angered you? Have you been posting frantically on social media to spread awareness and feel like your position on the matter, doesn't matter? Well -- worry no more! You can actually DO something! By clicking the link above, there are 10 different ways you can ACTIVELY help the #noDAPL protest. I know it might seem like we are all so powerless, and in a sense we are, because I will say this in the most innocent way -- who has the time? We all work, have full time studies, have children to watch over or are down right a giant ball of anxiety with our everyday responsibilities. Its understandable that we cannot go to North Dakota and protest with our fellow indigenous friends. But posting on social media is super passive, and its difficult to reach the solution that is our ultimate goal. To stop this pipeline! Protesters are getting shot, and police officers are tracking protesters and arresting via Facebook check-ins. It really is getting out of hand. The below 10 things are possibly the best way we can all join in together as humans who are inherently good, to make the change we wish to see in the world, with the limited powers we have.

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.
