"Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life." – Berthold Auerbach

Auerbach is right. Life is hard, more times than not. Rather it's relationship problems, work dilemmas, money issues or you weren't ready for that pop quiz in biology — bad things are going to happen. But does that mean we should sit and wallow in our sadness? No! Maybe for a minute, but then we deserve to smile. Music has always been the therapy I turn to and here are some of my favorite songs that I hope will help you the next time your crush doesn't text back.

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. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
