Welcome to America! The absolute greatest country in all the world! A country of acceptance and freedom and if you disagree with that then go to Hell! You want the terrorists to win! We are the melting pot of countries, where we will allow anyone and everyone in our country, as long as you are an upstanding white man who is straight and Christian. Welcome! Let's show you around!

Now we are a very strong and united nation that is easily divided on every major issue that could possibly be faced. Pro-gay? God Hates you. Anti-gay? You're a homophobe. Pro-abortion? Every life is sacred how dare you choose to end one! Anti-abortion? How can you be against a woman's right to choose?! We don't agree on anything major, but damn it we love this country! Greatest in the world. No doubt.

Let's talk about guns! A perfectly easy, non-controversial and open topic in our country. For anyone who thinks that because we have 318.9 million people in the US (United Census Bureau 2014) and 357 million guns in our country (NPR 2014) and think we have a gun problem, you couldn't be more wrong. And if you want to take away our guns, you are infringing on our second amendment rights, which was of course meant for muskets for small militia's during the Revolutionary War, but damn it we want our guns! Do you want to get a gun? It's easy. No test required, no license needed. No probationary period after you buy it. Just buy the gun, and get to that good old point and click. Want a driver's license? Show proof of identification, take a written and vision test, drive for a bit with a learner's permit, pass a drivers test and THEN you can get your license. Want Hamilton tickets? If you are sleeping with the director or Lin-Manuel Miranda, you might get on a waiting list. But guns, just have your money.

Now some of you might think that its cheap to point out that it is easier to get a gun than say: a passport, a divorce, a pet, or even cold medicine, but then you're just being too delicate and need to toughen up.

But hey! Pull yourself up by your bootstraps if you're down! This is America Damnit! We've only made it impossible to pay for middle and lower class students to go to college, ruined the housing market, locked up more Americans per capita than any other country, and managed to find a way to spend more money on defense spending than the next 26 countries, 25 of them are our allies (Yes, that's from 'The Newsroom', but it is an American made TV show so it's fair game!)

'Murica. F*ck yeah!

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.
