I wonder where it went.

It should probably be right next to me

But it’s not there.

It’s not on my left.

It’s not on my right.

It should be right in front of me.

It’s not there.

Oh no.

Where the hell is it?

I swear to god it was right there!

I thought it was there.

It’s not there.

Things just got serious.

I never really bother to clean this place out.

But maybe I should start.

I should’ve cleaned up.

We don’t have time for that.

We have to find it now!

I need this badly.

I need this now.

Why can’t I find it?

Maybe I left it somewhere,

And maybe someone stole it.

HOLY CRAP SOMEONE STOLE IT!

It had value and now it’s gone.

I was going to show this to my children and I can’t!

I am going to organize this place after I find it.

Breathe in, breathe out.

Everything’s okay.

It’s all okay.

It’s right in front of me.

How come I didn’t see it before?

It doesn’t matter now.

Just promise it won’t get lost again.

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.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

"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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).
