33 Most Memorable Moments From 'Friends'

FanPop

As you may know from my frequent use of "Friends" GIFs and quotes (not to mention the recent article about "Friends"), I am quite the "Friends" enthusiast, but as you may not know, "Friends" is back (kinda).

Knowing this, it is no surprise that I am ecstatic about the TV show's reunion. On Wednesday, NBC announced the Television Critics Association's press tour that the cast will reunite on NBC for a two-hour special. This special will be a tribute to "Friends'" legendary comedy director James Burrows, but there is frightful news that it may be difficult to have the cast entirely together in the special. Fingers crossed for this event, and in honor of the special, I, with the help of some of my fellow "Friends" devotees, have compiled a list of the 33 best "Friends" moments to be aired.

1. The One With Unagi

2. The One Where Joey Learns French

3. The One With the Lobsters

4. The One With Pivot

5. The One With Ugly Naked Guy

6. The One Where Ross Inspired Us Never to Spray-Tan

7. The One With the F*ck You

8. And Again

9. And Again

10. And Yet Again

11. The One With Phoebe's Optimism

12. The One When Joey Tries to Learn Quotation Marks

13. The One With the Armadillo

14. The One With All the Cheesecake

15. The One With Ross and Chandler's Flashbacks

16. The One Where Someone Eats Ross' Sandwich

17. The One With Smelly Cat

18. The One With Baby Got Back

19. The One(s) With Scary Monica

20. And The One(s) With "How You Doin'"

21. The One Where Ross Is Fine

22. The One Where Chandler Embarrasses Himself

23. That Definitely Happens More Than Once

24. The One With the Turkey Head

25. The One at the Beach

26. The One With Seven

27. The One With the Break

28. The One With "The Dance"

29. The When Rachel Gets Off the Plane

30. The One With the Wedding Dresses

31. The One When Monica Was Fat

32. The One With the Flag Football Game.

34. All of the Ones With Janice

33. And The One Where It Ends

Although I am counting down the days until the final "Friends" reunion with excitement, it was a tough reminder that my favorite show, favorite friend group, and favorite stories are completely over. I will never think the same way when I hear the words "pivot," "oh my god," or "how you doin'." I will always hope to find the Ross to my Rachel and for a best friend like Monica, and I will constantly wish that my friends were as funny as Chandler. Thank you for the memories, "Friends"; I cannot wait to see you one more time back in action. You will be greatly missed.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

The people that spend their summers at the lake are a unique group of people.

Whether you grew up going to the lake, have only recently started going, or have only been once or twice, you know it takes a certain kind of person to be a lake person. To the long-time lake people, the lake holds a special place in your heart, no matter how dirty the water may look.

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.

There's no other place you'd rather be in the summer.

A bad day at the lake is still better than a good day not at the lake.

You know the best beaches and coves to go to.

You have no patience for the guy who can't back his trailer into the water right.

Doing the friendly wave to every boat you pass.

The cooler is always packed, mostly with beer.

Giving the idiot who goes 30 in a "No Wake Zone" a piece of your mind.

You have no problem with peeing in the water.

You know the frustration of getting your anchor stuck.

Watching in awe at the bigger, better boats that pass by.
