So many of us have downloaded the app TimeHop, an app used to look back on some of our memories that have graced the presence of various forms of social media over the years. Some of the memories are funny, some are sad and some just make us shake our heads. I had the app for a while before getting rid of it and then downloading it again because I missed it. While, I like looking back on my life and seeing how far I have come, there is just some things that I would rather not be reminded of. Pictures of people who I no longer talk to, wall posts from old friends and old tweets from darker times of my life. You could say well, you could have just not allowed it to access those tweets but I had forgotten about all of that so here I am feeling the exact way that I did then all of these years later. This app while being great in some aspects is just too painful sometimes. I am reminded of the things that I have worked so hard to forget and leave behind. The friendships that have severed for one reason or another, the things in my life that didn’t go as planned and the pictures that I would rather not have to look at anymore. I actually enjoy my life now and would rather not be reminded of the person that I used to be. I would rather look back at the good memories of my life and spend more time living in the moment rather then dwelling on the past. Life is way too short to dwell on what could have been. It is better to have lived a life full of good memories and good times. As I am writing this, I just deleted my TimeHop account and I have to say it felt pretty good. I realized that I don’t really need or want it anymore. It is a waste of time and space on my phone. I hate the way that it made me feel about myself. I would open it with curiosity about what memories would come up that day only to be left with sadness and regret of opening the app in the first place. I don’t care about the memories, the streak, abe the dino, I care about my wellbeing. I care about my mental health. I do not care about Time Hop. Good Riddance to this terrible app. I will not miss it!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. 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. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
