It's been an incredible winter in Iowa so far; so incredible that it reached 70 degrees in the middle of February. That's right. Where did the winter go? Nonetheless; we're all pretty stoked with the early spring- lets enjoy it while it lasts.

1. Check the temperature

Say what? It can't really be this warm in Iowa in the middle of winter, can it?

2. Walk without the fear of snow

This can't be happening. Surely there will be a blizzard a week from now.

3. Soak in the 70 degree rays

Spring came early and there's so much to do; go hiking, rollerblading, and pet dogs.

4. Get out the shorts

But since it's still winter and they don't sell any, you may have to resort to making some.

5. And the Birkenstocks

Both with and without socks, because winter boots are overrated.

6. And enjoy it while it lasts

Who knows when the next snow storm will be? Let's enjoy this while it lasts...

7. Pretend that summer is truly around the corner

Because this weather is too nice to NOT enjoy, and you know what they say...

8. Ignorance is bliss

This is totally normal, not un-heard of or unprecedented, and global warming is totally not a real thing.

9. But that's none of my business.

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.
