In A Perfect World

Sometimes when you have a bad day it is easy to wish a lot of things in your life were different. A lot of times you get hard on yourself and wish that the world was a little "less-sucky". So here's what life would maybe seem like in a perfect world.

In a perfect world you would get out of bed every morning and not look like you were hit by a truck. You would wake up with straight hair and a fresh complexion like a Disney Princess. You could roll out of bed and throw on a sweater and pump some T-Swift and just be flawless.

The world isn't perfect.

In a perfect world you could eat all the guac and chips you wanted and never gain a pound. You could eat Taco Bell, McDonald's, and wings all in a day and never get fat--or a tummy ache.

The world isn't perfect.

In a perfect world he would message you back like it was his job. He'd know you were interested and not leave you on read every single night. You would be loved so much and you'd be on top of the world. He'd compliment you and take you out on Fridays. He would kiss your forehead just because he loves you.

The world isn't perfect.

In a perfect world no one would ever leave you. Your best friend wouldn't decide that the world no longer needs them. That boy you talked to for 3 months wouldn't all of a sudden decide that you are no longer relevant. That girls dad wouldn't have walked out on the family when she was starting high school.

The world isn't a perfect place.

So what though? We all know the life can suck sometimes and it would be nice for things to be 100% perfect but how fun would that be?

If something would have been just slightly different from what it is now, your life would be so much different. And it would have changed your perfectly imperfect self.

In this imperfect world you wake up every morning with a lion's mane of hair, a shiny face, and morning breath. But someday someone will love you even more when you look that way.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

In this imperfect world you ate a whole bag of potato chips and maybe had McDonald's twice today. Your little bit of extra chunk only makes your curvy jeans look that much better for date night right? And besides--you'll workout tomorrow... Or the next day.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

In this imperfect world he left you on read last night when you finally confessed your feelings. You mope around for a month or so and finally move on, only then do you find someone new who understands all your awkwardness and loves it.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

In this imperfect world they left you. They left you alone crying in the bathroom at 2 A.M. They left you at the football field wondering how the last 6 months meant absolutely nothing. They left you and the rest of your family to figure out life without them. But eventually you move on and eventually you turn into a stronger person because of it.

You make the world perfectly imperfect.

• • •

You in your entirety make up an amazing and imperfect human being and there will never be anyone else quite like you. So the next time you wish life were working out a little bit better, just remember that the world is not perfect, and that's okay. It doesn't have to be.

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.

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.

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.
