Maybe it's just me, but I think every man and woman should have at least one Saturday person in their life. The kind of person who pushes them to their limits of sanity, energy, and sometimes questionable decisions. And I'm not alluding to topics of the illegal nature... Mostly. The proper Saturday people are those who encourage you to rip off the soda machine and get two sodas instead of just one for the $1.50. Shoplifting from a store is a Friday person's thing. Hang out with these people, but don't stay too long. These are the kind of people who get you arrested and help you spend the night in a holding cell. Back to Saturday people though.

Saturday people are the kind who help you run away when you need a break. They are the people who help you realize what you do and don't want in your life so you can meet your Sunday person. Saturday people are a stepping stone. You have hopes and dreams you plan for Saturday, but they don't always work out. Saturday people can break your heart, but that happens. That's life. But I know for a fact, for every Saturday you meet, you'll definitely meet a Sunday person.

Sunday people are the kind of people that just make all the craziness swirling around this awesomely strange and horribly mad planet make sense. Sunday people allow you to be yourself. They help you look back and be so incredibly grateful for the shits and giggles that led you to where you stand at that point in time. Everything just seems easy. Peaceful. Sunday people help you mature and become a better person. They're the final place where everything comes to a close.

It doesn't matter who you are or what you do, your Saturday friend could show up at any point and help you make it to Sunday. Which in the end, is the goal.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
