In the chaotic world that we live in today, most of us want to be able to do something to make it better. It can feel like you can't do too much when you are a small fish in this big pond we call Earth, but the best thing that you can do is start with yourself. The more people that want to do good, then the better the world can slowly become. It starts with just one person saying that they want to make a change and it takes one small change to make a big difference. Be the light that shines in this dark world.


1. Be a good tipper.

2. Eat less meat - It's good for you and the environment!

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.
