Life is an incredible gift, one that can end in a single second.

Life Is Precious, But It Is Not Forever

As we have seen with recent events, life is short and you have no idea when it will end. Some people are taken from us far too soon and way too suddenly. Here's my advice for you so that you never feel the pain or regret when someone is taken from us too soon:

If you have feelings for someone, tell them.

Compliment someone every chance you get.

Hug often and hug tight.

When saying goodbye to anyone, tell them to be careful.

Never ever go to sleep upset or mad at someone.

Say "I love you" whenever you feel it.

Call and visit your loved ones while they're still here.

Check up on old friends.

Actually, check up on all of your friends.

If you're thankful, say it.

If you want to do or try something, do it.

Stop waiting for tomorrow, today might be all you have. So take advantage of it. Speak your mind and do what makes your heart happy. LIVE your life NOW, do not PLAN your life for LATER.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

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.
