Society has come a long way in recent decades. Women in America have more opportunities and equality now more than ever. However, things are not perfect and women themselves need to treat each other well in order for more changes to be made.

Women face enough challenges as it is, so why should other women make it even more difficult for each other? The judgement among women needs to end. Instead of making enemies with other women and passing judgement on other women, why can't we just eliminate the jealousy and cattiness in order to create a more supportive culture among all women? We should empower each other and never let men come between us and our female friends. After all, there is not really a benefit to judging other women and being rude to them, so why do those things still occur? Judgement among women is especially bad when it comes to superficial things. If we do not want men to catcall us or judge us too much based on superficial things, then we cannot do so with each other either. We must set an example of how we want to be treated by treating others in a way that we desire to be treated ourselves. This is universal among all people but women should do so with each other nonetheless.

Women must encourage, help, build up, support, trust, and empower each other because it makes things much easier and better for ourselves. Women understand the struggles of other women more than anyone else does. Therefore, we should support each other because we know how difficult things can be for us.

This sounds like a simple message but is does not always happen among women today. Teaching this idea must start at a young age because women deal with a lot of issues among other women when they are young. These mistreatments among women in their younger years can have implications that last a lifetime. Cattiness and judgment must be discouraged from an early age so that young women will grow up to be women who empower one another.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

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!
