Don't Let The Past Determine Your Future

I often find myself saying, "What If I.... Would that change the situation? Well I learned this year let the past stay in the past. No matter how hard you try to change things in your mind and think of the ways you could of changed something or prevented something you can never change it!! So don't dwell on the past! Don't we all wish we could have a time machine and change something. I know I was thinking today" Man if I could go back in time I would have... and that could of changed everything for me. Well, I have news for you, no matter what you think you made the decision for a reason and every decision you have made in the past has lead you to today.

So remember when all you can think about is the past, that at the time that was most likely the best situation for you. Take things day by day, learn from your mistakes and strive to make the future the best it can be. Because in the end we all wish we had a time machine, but we don't. If you think about it, that one thing you could change may have made your life worse in the end. So remember you have your whole life in front of you , dont let the past determine your future!

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
