What You Need To Know This Week In The 'News'

Every single day the internet has something new and beautiful to offer up. Whether that means productive information, jokes, or hilarious videos and clips is really up to you. Personally, I enjoy a good laugh from something I've never seen before (and occasionally things I've rewatched 500 times).

While there are plenty of serious things happening in the world right now I also know that occasionally there should be a break from all of the seriousness. It's hard to stay positive when you just hear about all of the bad stuff that happens.

This week you've missed the following.

This kid failing at well... everything.

I just think this is the funniest thing I've ever seen. Shout out to the subreddit "r/childrenfallingover" for bringing this beauty into my life. While this isn't technically news, it is definitely something that should be. Hello, Fox News, you should have a fails segment. It would seriously help your ratings out.

These not so skilled thieves...

I'm honestly not convinced that this even needs an explanation. Just know that you missed it and you needed to see it.

A woman fell into a trash compactor?

OK, so maybe this one isn't a video, but I couldn't resist mentioning it. I think it's pretty ridiculous that someone would agree to retrieve a teenagers' keys from a trash compactor. At that point, I would simply declare my keys a loss and move on with my life. But since this woman decided to be a good Samaritan, she certainly deserves to be recognized as some kind of hero, right?

Ferris Bueller gets old.

While I wasn't born when Ferris Bueller's Day Off was released, it's been a movie that I've bonded over with plenty of my friends. It's pretty strange to me that this iconic film has finally turned 30. Fortunately, I'm sure it still has plenty of time left to be relevant.

So if you're like me and you can't stand reading really depressing news, that was some of the pretty cool things you missed out on.

I'll never forget the day that someone told me these words: "Madison, I think you're a good friend to everyone but yourself." I stood there completely in awe of that statement. Before that day, I never really thought about being a friend to myself, and at the time, I didn't really know what it meant. Now, I realize that you can't fully be there for other people unless you're there for yourself, too. You can't show up for others until you're willing to show up for yourself.

Here are five things everyone should learn in order to be a better friend to themselves. These steps are hard, but they're so worth it.
