16 Times "Friends" Accurately Depicted How You Felt

"Friends" premiered the year before I was born. Even though it's humor was too mature for me as I was growing up, I can surely appreciate it now. Catching a few episodes as a teenager showed me why the series was so successful. I did not follow the show chronologically, I would just watch it when it came on Nick at Nite.

Once the entire series was put on Netflix, I decided to really see what all the hype was about. It turns out that not only is "Friends" funny, but it is also relatable. Even though characters are older than me and my peers, the situations they get themselves into and the inner turmoils they have are relevant to us at this point in our lives. I hope that the friends that I have made now will last for a long time, and that the memories I create with them are just as fun, if not more, as those in the show. The following are instances when the show hit the nail head on with how we felt.

1. When responsibilities pop up from nowhere... (Run.)

2. When you try to give advice to your childish friends...

3. When you start to realize that life is unfair...

4. Even though you are legally an adult, sometimes, basic functioning is hard.

5. The description you really want to put on your Tinder:

6. When you want people to like you...

7. When you are bored in class...

8. When someone's story is postponing you and your food from having a love affair...

9. When you haven't eaten all day and someone mentions food...

10. When you hear a noise outside late at night...

11. Trying to act sexy for your significant other...

12. When you are at a social event and it is taking too much energy out of you...

13. When you decide to dance, even though you know you are bad at it...

14. When you are arguing with someone and can't think of a response fast enough...

15. When you are so close to rewarding yourself, but....

16. And lastly, when you realize that all you have to offer is your humor...

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
