Life can sometimes get to be a little too much. Everyone has moments where they feel stressed, anxious, agitated, the list goes on. It can be really hard to find small moments that allow you to breathe.

Let me introduce you to night driving. Some of you may be wondering how exactly something so tedious and at times frustrating can calm you down.

Trust me, they do the trick. Just allow me to paint the picture for you.

There is nothing quite like rolling down the windows on a nice night and feeling the cool wind against your face. Watching the bright lights zip by you and seeing their magical glow on the dark street.

Your favorite tunes blast through the speakers as you sing aloud and dance. Who cares what the people in the car next to you think, you'll never see them again. There is something so nice in being able to catch those moments in life that allow you to just be you.

When attending college it can be really hard to find times that allow you to decompress. Sometimes the prospect of homework, attendance grades, and exams can feel like a constant weight on one's shoulder.

The best and only way to survive and get through college is finding ways to live a little.

So maybe you're not into driving or you don't have a car. Maybe you like partying or watching movies or playing video games. Whatever it is that you like to do to de-stress, keep doing it.

For me, my favorite way will always be night drives. I'm forever thankful for the moments in life that allow me to live a little. Nothing beats grabbing a friend (or going alone), hopping into a car, putting on a killer playlist and just letting loose, even if it's only for a moment.

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. 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.
