The one where they describe a day at the beach.

A Day at the Beach As Told By The Cast Of Friends
Business Insider

As an avid beach- goer, I know a lot about what goes on there and I've experienced a thing or two on this list. Although "The One at the Beach" didn't really show the cast at the beach a lot, I've taken a guess at how they would react and what they would say if they were at the beach, just as anyone else would.

Casually walking on the hot sand as it burns your feet.

When you first walk onto the beach, and you feel how the sand could compare to a boiling pan of water on the stove. but you have to pretend it's okay. You don't wanna be the only person in your friend group running to the edge of the shore like an idiot.

Not putting on sunblock.

I don't know why it's become a "cool" thing to not put sunscreen on, but if I did that, I would be redder than the couch in Central Perk. That's definitely gonna hurt when you try to shower.

Even when you think you're too cool to be turned into an aquatic sea creature, think again because you're never too old to have sand in places you shouldn't have sand and it's all for a funny picture.

When your friends want some of the food you brought specifically for yourself

You specifically pack one of everything such as fruit, a sandwich, a bag of chips, and a drink just for yourself. However, your friends aren't as prepared as you are, so when they're hungry you have to give up your apple.

When you're trying to take a snooze but there are people talking really loudly

For some odd reason, the sun always makes you tired so every so often you'll catch yourself nodding off but you can't seem to tune out the people who are making as much noise as possible. Of course, it's not their fault because the beach is where you're supposed to have fun but you always seem to feel the urge the tell them to be quiet.

Forgetting to turn over when you're tanning

We've all had this experience when you fall asleep or you get too into people-watching or a good book and you forget to turn over to even out your tan.

Seeing beautiful people

People- watching also means spotting a gorgeous guy or girl. You tell your friends about him/her and then they just become the thing that everyone in your friend- group looks at. You may even think up names that suit their looks.

Playing beach games

There's always a game of the year that everyone and their mother brings. You're most like either a professional at it or you're being walloped at whatever it is you're playing. You'll never admit to being bad at the game, so you make every excuse under the sun (literally and metaphorically).

Digging a hole

"Digging to China" is everyone's goal when they start on a hole. If the tide comes in and fills your hole, it's guaranteed going to put you back at least 20 digs, if you're lucky that it doesn't fill in all of your hole.

Trying to get out of the water and getting pummeled by a wave

You don't see the wave, you get pummeled and now you have sand everywhere, you're bathing suit is out of whack, and your friends are laughing at you. It's not funny in the moment because you have sand in your hair, in your ears, and in your bathing suit, but you're gonna look back at it and laugh.

Packing up to go home

When your friends want to leave the beach but you don't want to. You pretend you're not listening but they keep asking to leave. It's getting dark and cold you but you refuse to give up the relaxation.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
