Happy 2019, fam! Can you wrap your head around how fast time is passing by? It feels like just yesterday it was 2016, the best year of everyone's life. There was something in the air that year that made everyone remember it over the rest. The music was live, the people were happy, everyone was vibin'. 2016 was an entire mood. Period.

Now here we are. It's 2019 and you're on either side of the spectrum. You're either lost, confused and uncertain about what the year is going to bring or you're beyond excited and anxious to see what is next to come. Me? I am definitely the latter. I am hyped.

At the end of 2018, I noticed a transition in my mentality. As cliche and repetitive as this may sound, my transition into a more optimistic and positive state of mind really proved to be worth it. I started seeing my hard work finally paying off. Even in the little things. I noticed my entire persona to be happier. I started believing in myself more. Even my friends noticed a change. I became more confident in myself. Something I never thought I would comfortably be able to say. With the shift in mentality, making the effort to see things positively and not stress out over the dumb (excuse my language) sh*t, my entire world started to change.

I want you to take 2019 on with the same energy I wrapped 2018 up with. I promise you it is crazy.

I thoroughly believe that we, as individuals, are connected through our energy. Not only with each other, but with our entire environment. The vibes we put out and the energy we send are the same vibes and waves of energy we will receive, if not better.

I want you to promise me (or yourself) one thing. Flick the switch and make the change as you begin the new year. Change your mindset and try and think positively about everything. Speak into the universe the things you want to accomplish, the types of people you want to meet, and the goals you have (both personal and professional). Believe that you can do it. It takes three weeks to form a habit. Look at these first three weeks in January as your boot camp. After that, it'll all become second nature and your path to a happier life will be paved.

Now I know, this sounds cliche. I hate cliches but this, my friends, is the real deal. Believe in yourself and take this year on with nothing but bright lights and positivity. Big things are coming your way.

Happy New Years!

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.
