I recently got a Fitbit. I got it because I wanted to have a healthier lifestyle. I am already in love with mine and it has amazing features. Here are some of my favorites:

1. Sleep tracker

This is my favorite feature. You can wear your Fit bit to sleep and it tracks your movement. It tells you how many times you were restless and awake, and even tells you down to the exact minutes. I knew I would wake up a lot at night, and this feature helps me track it. It's definitely interesting to see your sleep patterns!

2. Vibrates for texts and calls

If you don't want this you don't have to use it. It's an option that you can switch on and off. I personally think it's useful. When I get a text or a call, my Fitbit vibrates on my wrist. I find this particularly useful when I am in class or doing homework because I will only check my phone when I feel the vibrate. I don't find the need to keep checking my phone to see if someone has texted me back.

3. Reminds you to move

This, like the vibrate for texts and calls, is a feature you can switch on and off. You can customize how many times you want it to remind you a day. For me, I have it set if I haven't done 250 steps an hour, it will vibrate before the next hour.

4. Water/food intake

There's a Fitbit app, which is how you sync your wristband and data, which is free. On the app, there are options to add the amount of water you drink daily as well as food. For food, you can search food types and it will tell you the calories, or you can scan your food box with the barcode scanner.

I love the Fitbit, it has helped me become healthier and more aware of my health. The app is wonderful and can house all your information in one app, instead of one for steps, another one for food intake, etc.

I have the style called: Flex 2. They have several design options, with and without a screen and even multiple colors!

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.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
