Five Things That Aren't Worth Worrying About

We are all prone to worrying sometimes. Some of us worry more than others, fretting about every hair on our heads and every single social interaction. Others only worry about the big things, such as finances and relationships. Regardless of which kind of person we are, there are some things that just aren't worth a second thought. Here are some examples:

1. The opinions of strangers

I promise you, the cashier at the grocery store isn't judging you for how many bottles of wine you are buying, and the stranger you pass while running down the street could not care less about the amount of sweat dripping down your shirt. If they are judging you, it really doesn't matter. The opinions of strangers aren't worth worrying about.

2. How many likes you have on social media

Okay, so this one is really hard to wrap our minds around sometimes. I'm sure you have heard it a million times, but it doesn't really matter how many likes you are racking up on social media. Stop doing things just for the gram. Stop stressing over who does and doesn't like your photos. Stop worrying about it in general.

3. The attitudes of those around you

It is not your responsibility to make your coworkers, your friends, your classmates, or your teammates positive all the time. You can have a positive attitude, and encourage others to do the same by spreading happiness, care, and compassion. If others are negative, this is beyond your control, and not worth worrying about.

4. Spilled milk

Just kidding about this one, kind of. I know this is an old an overused phrase, but in all honesty, it is true. Don't sweat the little things. If it has no real effect on anyone, it is not worth worrying about.

5. Anything that is beyond your control (news flash: this is most things)

Do your best in all situations. As long as it depends on you, treat others kindly and keep the peace. Chase your passions and the things that bring you joy. By all means, don't worry a single minute about the things that are beyond your control.

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.
