Why How I Met Your Mother Will Never Get Old

Their friendship will always be goals.

Why How I Met Your Mother Will Never Get Old
Screen Rant

The show "How I Met Your Mother" used to be one of those shows I only saw as a re-run when I had already watched everything recorded on the DVR. Now that I am an official Netflix junkie, I figured it was time to make the series my next binge-watch show of choice after finishing the very frustrating but brilliant "Gilmore Girls." It was definitely a good decision. Now, I have an amazing appreciation for this show and all the characters in it.

1. Lily and Marshall are actual couple goals.

I only hope to have a relationship and marriage that is as perfect as their's. Even when they have a horrible argument, they work it out and are even better than ever afterward. They are best friends and partners-in-crime. They stand by each other through the good times and the bad and will forever be couple goals because of it.

2. Barney can make you laugh on even the worst days.

While the actor playing Barney, Neil Patrick Harris, is definitely gay, he sure doesn't act like it in the show. He is willing to do anything and everything to get a girl. While his attempts at getting girls are the funniest part of the show, he does have a heart under the suit. Plus, I only wish I had that kind of confidence. *High five*

3. Robin is the best friend we all want to have.

I personally feel like Robin is my spirit animal. She is not afraid to tell it like it is and is always a loyal friend. You know she will tell you the truth and won't sugarcoat it. She is focused on her career but grows to be someone that is open to love. She is able to be friends with her exes with minimal complications, which is a huge accomplishment.

4. Ted's hopefulness for the future is inspiring.

Ted goes on so many dates throughout the story of how he met the mother of his children. He even goes through job problems leading up to his eventual career of being an architect professor. He falls in love so deeply and no matter how many times he is knocked down, he gets right back up again. He maintains a positive outlook on the future and gets the great love he deserves.

5. Their friendship lasts forever.

Despite all the breakups, makeups, job troubles and relationship failures, their friendship withstood it all. No matter how much time passes or where life takes them, the bond these five share is inseparable.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
