First off, if you haven’t watched the complete series of "Friends", click the back button a.s.a.p.

The series Friends takes part over ten seasons, from 1994-2004. The first episode begins with Rachel Green (Jennifer Aniston) running out on her wedding. She then finds Monica Gellar (Courtney Cox) in the beloved coffee house, Central Perk. Monica’s older brother, Ross (David Schwimmer) has had a crush on Rachel since high school. Ross’s best friend from college, Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) has an apartment across the hall from Monica and formally Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow). While Chandler is looking for a new roommate, he interviews Joey (Matt LeBlanc), who becomes his permanent roommate.

The series follows all six through ten years of their lives. It goes through multiple relationships, reoccurring characters, jobs, marriages and having children. You see each character grow and develop self-worth. The show keeps your emotions running high through the entire ten seasons. For first time viewers, you are kept guessing what will happen next.

These are some, but not all of the emotions you feel when watching Friends:

1. Sympathy

Like I said, in the first episode of Friends, The One Where Monica Gets A Roommate, is very emotional. Rachel has just run out on her wedding and now she has to decide between her father’s money and a new life in New York City with the Friends crew. I feel sorry for her because she left her wedding, but also because she has plenty of decisions to make in a limited time frame. More sympathy comes in all of the ten seasons. Another example comes in the ninth season when Monica and Chandler cannot conceive a child.

2. Happiness

Many times, in the series I have felt so happy. A great example of this is when Ross and Rachel finally get together in season two. Ross had a crush on Rachel since high school, and after a video of Ross coming to Rachel’s aide during prom night, Rachel finally is convinced she wants to begin a relationship with him

3. Love

It is obvious that through the entire series, everyone on the show loves each other. The best example of love is when Chandler finally realizes he wants to marry Monica. I cried during this episode because it showed me how great it is when marriage finally becomes an option.

4. Empathy

I feel so hard for Rachel when Ross cheats on her. Although all of the fans desperately wanted Ross and Rachel to stay together, I know that I could not be with someone who had cheated on me even if we were “On a Break.”

5. Giggly

This entire series keeps you laughing. It helps that there was an overlay of laughing in the background. Chandler is known to be the funny one. He continuously comes up with witty comebacks and funny jokes. I still laugh at the show, after watching the entire series at least ten times.

6. Anger

The show makes me mad that Ross and Rachel break up, that Richard didn’t want to marry Monica, that Joey doesn’t get taken seriously. The episode(s) where Chandler gets back with Janice make me mad because he clearly does not love her. He played games with her and himself by trying to make himself believe that he was in love with her. Plus, he could have gotten together with Monica faster.

7. Joy

The show made me feel so happy for Rachel when she found out she was pregnant. All children are a joy, but Emma was special to the show. When she was born, Rachel had so many hormones, she couldn’t stop crying but then she looked down to a perfect daughter and the show was much more uplifting since then.

8. Delighted

The episode where the Friends crew plays a game of football on Thanksgiving Day is delightful. Seeing the gang be incredibly competitive is something you rarely see on the show. It contests to the fact that Friends are a lot of things and competitive is one of them.

9. Sadness

The Last Episode was the hardest to watch. Monica and Chandler finally have their twins but are moving to the suburbs. Rachel has accepted a job in Paris, leaving Ross and Emma home in the United States. Phoebe and Mike decide that they want children. Joey feels like everyone is leaving him alone in the city. When the final episode aired, I was relieved when Rachel got off the plane, but so sad the fans couldn’t see what happened next.

10. Jealousy

No matter how much I love this show, I will always be jealous of it. Sure I have some amazing Friends, but this group will always hold my standards high.


No matter what you’re feeling, it will be represented in Friends.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
