On-Screen Friendships That Shaped Your Friend Group
Popsugar.com

In your life, if you're as lucky as I have been, you'll stumble upon a handful of friends that will change your life forever. They'll be there for every breakup, every laugh, every nightmare, every birthday - every possible big moment in your life. I am blessed to say that my friend group and I have been through hell and back, and that the true friends have never let that tear us apart. While we often joke that our friendship is amazing enough to have its own show, there are a few onscreen friendships that we can't help but to admit we have molded ourselves after.

1. Cher, Dionne, and Tai: Clueless

What started out as simple makeover for the new girl turned into one of the most iconic friend groups of big screen history.

2. Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, and Samantha: Sex and The City (the show and the movies, of course)

No matter how big or small of a fan you are, every friend group that consists of four girls low-key hope to resemble one of the most memorable bundle of best friends to ever hit your TV screens.

3. Lena, Carmen, Tibby, and Bridget: Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Their friendship was so powerful it overcame clothing size. To have a friendship so magical that the same pair of pants fit all four best friends is something we all wished we possessed - if for nothing more than the sake of sharing clothes.

4. Carrie, Kate, Beth, and Heather: John Tucker Must Die

Though their friendship only sprouted from the desire to take down their high school's biggest playboy, we all loved to see their friendship blossom. If taking down a man can't bond girls together, then I don't know what will.

5. Christina, Jane, and Courtney: The Sweetest Thing

These three girls have the sarcasm and goofiness we all have within our own groups. If you don't make your friends feel uncomfortable at least once while out in public, you're doing friendship wrong.

6. Kit, Mimi, and Lucy: Crossroads

If you don't want to pack your bags and go on a cross-country road trip with your best friends after watching this movie, then you are lying.

7. Alex, Sylvie, Mary, and Edie: The Women

This movie dealt with friendship that is too often cast to the side: friendship after 30. It's not too many movies that show that sometimes your strongest relationships aren't with a spouse, significant other, or child, but sometimes with your lifelong friends.

8. Dorinda, Aqua, Gabriella, and Chanel: The Cheetah Girls

These girls are the reason every friend group wishes they could all sing in pitch. Also, I know deep-down we all wish we had those matching jumpsuits.

9. Brooke, Peyton, and Haley: One Tree Hill

Over the course of nine amazing seasons, we saw this friendship get hit with everything that could possibly go right or wrong. While most people's favorite OTH relationship was either Lucas and Peyton or Nathan and Haley, mine was Brooke, Peyton, and Haley's.

10. Donna, Brenda, Andrea, and Kelly: Beverly Hills, 90210

While they all had their differences and their fair share of fights, these girls showed us no matter where you come from, what you like, or who you are, your true friends will be their for you no matter what.

11. Monica, Rachel, and Phoebe: Friends

The title of the show says it all. This friendship is probably the most popular and most adored, something no one can complain about.

To The Cheerful Person On Their Rainy Days, You Are Valid

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

And despite her sometimes harsh words, April truly cares about the people she's closest to. These are all reasons she is the epitome of a college student. April complains whenever she has to do any kind of work, but ends up doing the work anyway. April Ludgate is the ultimate college student spirit animal.

11 Ways To Live The Best Life You Can

Life is full of twists and turns, but you have to keep going.

Life is all about twist and turns, sideways and which ways. Nothing is permanent, so we should take risks, and chase our dreams. We are taught at a young age many lessons that will follow us into adulthood. What we aren't taught is how to feel, and how we handle those emotions. We just have to figure them out ourselves, and that's not fun. In my 21 years of living, I have come to know that way too many people can't handle emotions, or the fact that not everyone is dead inside like them. When you're like me, and you have zero control over your emotions, it's hard to feel comfortable around people who aren't so in touch with themselves. As much as I would like to feel nothing at times, I've accepted who I am and the fact that I can cry over practically nothing. So, there are some things in life that you just have to do.
