Waking up doesn't have to be so hard.

1. Say A Prayer Before You Even Get Up

For me, praying about my day before it even begins brings me a sense of peace, regardless of the challenges I could face. Although we aren't promised tomorrow, we were blessed with today and that's something to be grateful for.

2) Turn On Some Music

While getting up early can sometimes seem like the worst thing in the world, I've found that playing music instantly makes it hard for me to drift-off back to sleep.

3) Wash Your Face

Not only is this a must for your skin, but another opportunity to wake yourself up.

4) Drink A Bottle Of Water

I don't think you can ever drink too much water, so why not make it a goal to drink a bottle before you walk out of the door every morning? This is better for you and your skin.

5) Jot Down Your Daily Goals

Make a mental, or physical, note of everything you hope to accomplish that day. I always have a list of to-do's in my phone of what I'm doing and what I'll need for my day so that I can check things off as I go.

6) Eat A Good Breakfast

When you're running late and rushing out the door, it can be hard to make time for a decent breakfast. I, myself, normally grab the first thing I see in the pantry. However, when I do make sure that I have a good breakfast, my day is SO much better.

7) Make Your Bed!

While it is definitely not the first thing anyone wants to do as soon as they wake up, you'll be so glad you did when you return home and it's already done and tidy.

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.
