Contrary to what Christina Aguilera may believe, words actually CAN bring you down.

After binge watching 13 Reasons Why, I came to the realization that without even knowing it, the things you do every day have such a huge impact on others lives. Even if you think that what you're saying is a joke, it may not come off that way to everyone. The smallest comment you make could be the straw that breaks the camel's back. Something could seem like no big deal to you, but feel horrible to someone else. Everything you say means a lot more than you think.

After watching this show, you realize that even just the way you once looked at someone could have ruined them, nevermind if you were mean to them or ended a friendship on bad terms. Just watch what you say or how you interact with people because even the strangers you see on the street could be dealing with issues that you have no idea about. Take a second and smile at a stranger or ask them how they're doing and genuinely want to know. The smallest act of kindness can change someone's entire life.

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.
