Believe it or not, the running man dance was not made by millennials. The original version of this modern day trend was made popular in the late 1980s and 1990s by popular hip hop culture, such as the likes of MC Hammer, Salt-N-Pepa, and The Fresh Prince, just to name a few.

But in the latter part of February this year, this dance was modified and went viral starting with two high school students from New Jersey and then two members of the Maryland basketball team. This amusing dance challenge grabbed the attention of many sports teams and individuals alike causing a massive video flood on social media feeds.

The amusing part of this dance trend is that, the signature trend music, which is My Boo by Ghost town DJ's, was recorded in 1995 and the video showed traits of this dance. In most of the videos for this dance challenge, a group of people had to use the element of surprise and subtle creativity making their videos more popular than others.

"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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas.

Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.
