Why Life Is Scary And What We Need To Do About It
We Heart It

Time. That is what's scary about life. Time goes by with a blink of an eye. You may hear this a lot, but it is true. It makes you want to wish everything could slow down for a bit. The sad reality is that it's not going to slow down. You may think at this moment your life is moving pretty slow, but honey, it is only going by faster. I want to talk about this because there are a few things I believe we should do since life goes by pretty fast without us even knowing.

The first thing I highly encourage everyone to do is to spend time with loved ones-- familyand friends. I know, this is pretty cheesy but it couldn't be any truer. In regards to your family, you should cherish the moments spent with them because it sadly may not happen in the future. In regards to your friends, just enjoy every moment you get with them. Stop staring at your phone and actually spend quality time with them because friends come and go in life--who knows the friends you have now may not be there for you in the future.

Do what you love. If you're stuck at a loser job where you get paid a loser income, just stop. Stop working there. Do something with your life and go find a better job where you will get the amount you should be getting paid. Life is too short to flip burgers at a fast food restaurant (I know not all of you probably flip burgers but you get what I'm saying!) You deserve so much better than that.

Life is way too short, so why not be adventurous? This world is so huge and there is so much that needs to be explored, by you! You'll learn a lot about the planet you live in and also learn a lot about yourself too by being adventurous. If you don't have the money now to do such a thing, then save up! Save up those moolahs because in the end you will know it was worth it.

Another thing you should consider is to get out of your comfort zone. Go do something that scares you. Again, life is too short. It's too short to hide underneath your covers and not do stuff that will give you the thrills. Stop being so scared and overcome your fears. If it's going to take some time for you to get out of your comfort zone then that's totally fine. Just give it a while and work on overcoming your fears.

Life does go by super fast and it's about time we start taking some actions because time is not going to slow down for us. It's not going to slow down for anybody.

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.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

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.
