Deep breaths; calm thoughts

Change Of Scene

1:56PM

You need to do homework, but your room is too loud. There's too many distractions and you're too busy thinking of the words to the song that's playing to focus. Deep breaths; turn off the music; you need to focus.


2:17PM

Dammit. It's still too loud. People keep walking past your door, screeching about good-for-nothing boys and girls who need to "chill the f*ck out." Deep breaths; check the train schedule; you need a change of scene.


2:48PM

The walk to the train station wasn't loud, but it wasn't quiet either. Put in your headphones while you wait the final minutes for the train. Deep breaths; louder volume; you'll have your change of scene soon enough.


3:07PM

Your music is all the way up, but you can still hear that baby crying on the train. Why is finding a little peace and quiet so difficult today? Deep breaths; calm thoughts; you've reached your destination.


3:14PM

Loud. Loud. Loud.

Why is it always so loud no matter where you go? All you wanted was some peace and quiet. Instead, you got nothing but noise. Deep breaths; get back on the train; you can try for your change of scene another day.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
