"Stop waiting for Friday, or for summer, for someone to fall in love with you for the rest of your life. Happiness comes to you, when you make the most out of living in the moment with the friends that became family and the ones who became your chosen siblings. A good friend knows your best stories, but your best friend has lived them, and they love the imperfect you, the real one."

  • REFLECTION QUESTION
    Food Weekly Meal Planning
    An average American throws out about 240 lbs of food per year. The average family of four spends $1,500 a year on food that they throw out. Does this surprise you? Where would you rather use this money?

    People could instead donate this money to people who are less fortunate and who don't havw the same opportunities as we do with food
