"I guess how I really came to know God is, I grew up in a Christian home, my whole family [is Christian]. My mom raised us doing Bible studies and listening to Christian songs in the bathtub with me and my sisters. I guess I thought I was saved whenever I was in high school- I thought I was. I was bullied a lot, though, throughout 7th grade all the way until the day I graduated high school. My junior year of high school I became really depressed from it, and I wasn’t myself anymore. I wasn’t Reagan Rowell, the fun cheerleader who’s outgoing and loves to talk to people. I became very depressed, and just kinda taking every day one step at a time and just wanting to get through the day. Never to the point where I considered hurting myself, but I just wasn’t myself anymore. I was so mean to my sisters, and I just didn’t love life. And this is going to sound so goofy, but God literally sent me Landon. I don’t know, [Landon] really just brought out the life in me again. He’s helped me find myself, and appreciate life a lot more. If I could go back and change how people treated me, I wouldn’t. I don’t think that I would appreciate life as much as I do now, I wouldn’t love or see the value of things.”

- Reagan Rowell, 19

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.

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.
