There's no way to really describe the feeling of gratification from popping bubble wrap--making sure we get every. last.bubble. No man left behind. Yes, it's weird but c'mon...don't act like you don't love the feeling. Although we encounter these things all the time, it's actually hard to sit down and make a list off the cuff. However, I have done my best to do so for your enjoyment, and I know that you can relate--because these things are just so darn satisfying.

1.  Opening right to the page you needed

2. Having exact change

3. The sound the vacuum makes when it picks dirt up

4. Waking up minutes before your alarm

5. When you pour soda from a can and it fits perfectly into the cup

6. Peeling the plastic off new stuff

7. Waking up and realizing you have 3 more hours to sleep

8. When your new pen writes smoothly on paper

9. Typing with long nails

10. The smell of your clean laundry

11.  Peeling the seal off of a bottle

12. Watching the milk mix into the coffee

13.  When the squigglys from a spiral notebook rip off in one swoop

14. When the shampoo and conditioner run out at the same time

15. Squeezing a new tube of toothpaste

16. The way your legs feel after using a new razor

17. Crawling into a bed full of clean sheets

18. Peeling a command hook off the wall

19. Trying on a pair of jeans and having them fit like a glove

20. When you have just enough milk for your cereal

21. Stopping the microwave a millisecond before it beeps

22. When your nail polish peels off your nail in a whole piece

 

And of course...

23. Popping bubble wrap

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.
