1) Learn how to say NO

In any situation, whether you do not like the way your nails turned out or you want someone to leave you alone. Gather up your britches and have the courage to say enough is enough.

2) Walk the Walk

Pick your head up when you walk, straighten that posture and walk as if you are strutting Louis Vuitton heels on and as if you are ready to conquer the world.

3) Challenge Yourself

Run that 5K. Wear that outfit you feel insecure in. Take 18 credit hours. Do any task that challenges you for the better.

4) Don't always live life on the safe side

Go somewhere you have never been, go up to the guy or girl you have been trying to talk to for months, heck even go skydiving. You can surprise yourself with the strength you have.

5) Tell EVERYONE like it is

Never be afraid to be honest, there are times to sit back and be silent but there are other times to stand up for yourself. If they crossed the line, they crossed the line. Remember. You are a tough a cookie.

6) Don't Take No for an answer

If someone says you are not good enough to do it, accomplish that task ten times in a row.

7) Dream Big

The more you believe you are capable of everything, the more it actually becomes reality.

8) Treat Yo'self

Give yourself time to treat the royalty inside you. Take a nap, get a facial, whatever floats your boat.

9) Become Who You Want to Be

If you see anything wrong with yourself, dig deep and fix it. Don't wake up in the morning and wish something was different. If it's wanting to be further educated go do it, if it's wanting to learn a new language, whatever the case; get on board because you never know when your last day will be.

10) Try Something New

You know that food everyone is afraid to try? Or roller coaster no one will ride? You do it, because you as a person will grow from this and it will shine outwards that you are a tough cookie that is not afraid to try anything new.

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.

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.
