run for the roses! Last year’s race brought us the infamous, American Pharoah, winning the first Triple Crown since Affirmed in 1978 making him the 12thhorse in history to win all three races.

How can you not bet on a horse with a name like that? Tell me that doesn’t just sound like a name fit for a champion? With Gun Runner at the top of the leader board he is bound to be a crowd favorite. Gun Runner tends to stick to the rail and let his competitors set the pace. He’s a sneaky one and will come out of 4th place and be flying by the leader at the finish line. However, if he gets boxed in, the other horses just may have a shot.

Nyquist

Coming to the derby undefeated, this is the horse to beat! Nyquist has won seven straight races leading up to the derby making him another early favorite. Since 1915 only 26 horses have entered the derby undefeated and out of those 26 only 7 continued to hold that title throughout the derby. After a spectacular finish in the Florida Derby, Nyquist is ready to bring the heat and keep his undefeated title.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
