Flikr

1. Knowing it's gonna be a long service

*"maybe I should just skip church today... No, I need Jesus"

2. When the pastor says, "Say hello to the people around you"

*Ya, feel free to shake my hand, there's sick germs all over it. You are welcome.

2. Sniffing endlessly because you forgot tissues

*Why didn't you get tissues from the bathroom before you came in?

3. Your throat burns because you cough under your breath because you're praying

*Honestly, everything hurts from holding in your coughs

4. Trying to not to interrupt the service with another cough


5. Trying to keep your eyes from watering

*ya, the Holy Spirit is working, but that's not why I am crying right now. I'm just deathly ill. Don't mind me.

6. Sniff


7. Asking your friends if they have tissues

*"I should've gotten toilet paper form the bathroom, but do you happen to have tissues?"

8. Realizing no one does, and you have to suffer more

*I guess I'll jus use my sleeve to wipe my nose (don't pretend you've never done it)

9.Still crying from being sick

*You can only hide it so long

10. Cough


11. Sniff

*If only you had tissues to wipe your nose...

12. The look people give you when you cough for the millionth time

*Ya, I'm sick. I can still worship God. Get over it.

11. Getting the chills because the AC kicks on

*it's hot, then cold, then hot, based on how many times you stand and sit doing worship, and how many people are actually there


13. Leaving and being free to be sick

*you're not really free though because you are deathly ill, and can't do anything

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.

"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!
