If I looked at myself

The way others saw me

If I saw myself

As another person

I would probably find a new hope

I would see the same things

but in a new way

All the things I try to hide

The things I cover up

Those flaws and imperfections

may disappear

Though they are still there, they will lose all importance

I will find in myself a new love

I will fall in love with all the things I can not find beautiful

I would not criticize

I would not bully

I would look at the girl before me in awe

I would support her and uplift her

I would not look at tiny details and laugh

I would know it is not my place to judge every inch of this person

Her flaws would be unimportant

Her imperfections near invisible

If I looked at myself

The way others saw me

If I saw myself

As another person

I would probably find a new hope

I would see the same things

but in a new way

I would see the value of me

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.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

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.

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.
