10 Reasons You Need To Watch Friends Before Graduating College
Metro UK

Friends is easily one of the best shows out there, especially for a college student. Not only is it very hilarious but it is a great show to wind down to after a crazy day full or classes and extra curricular activities. These are my reasons why you should watch Friends before you graduate college.(There are no spoilers, btw)

1. It's Relatable

I have never watched a television show that has been so relatable to my life. They are all in their twenties, have no idea what the heck is going on with their lives, and just making it through everyday with an amazing support system behind them. Not to mention the characters personalities are very relatable. Either you are one of them, all of them or you know someone like them. Personally I believe I am a mix of all three of the girls; Phoebe, Monica, and Rachel. What are you?

2. Relationships Are Confusing

Whether it is a romantic, family or friend relationship... they can sometimes be confusing. Friends does a great job of touching on every relationship and helping you compare them to your struggles and victories with the people who are in your life. This is one of the many encouraging aspects of the show.

3. It Doesn't Make You Feel as Bad About Your Eating Habits

Because food is important. They love to eat in the show whether it is from Monica's cooking, or Joey's eating habits. Food is essential. Especially for a stressed college student.

4. It Will Cheer You Up Any Day

Coming back to your dorm or apartment after a long day and just binge watching Friends will bring a big smile to your face every time... I promise.

5. It helps you appreciate your friends even more.

Friends helps you realize how thankful you are for the friends you have in your life. A support system like this is the best support system a person could ask for.

6. Phoebe helps you appreciate the little things.


Whether it is your passion for certain things, or something poetic that you want to put in a song no matter how odd it sounds; Phoebe will help you realize how special the world is and how to be the best person you can be.

7. Rachel brings out your fashionable side.

Rachel is a fashion queen, she loves everything about it. Working for Bloomingdales and getting deep into the fashion business shows how passionate she is. She will inspire you to wake up in the morning and ditch those sweatpants you have been wearing for three days straight for something stylish!

8. Monica helps you bring out your Type A and organized side.

Cleaning, cooking, organizing, taking care of her friends, and more cleaning. Monica is the definition of a Type A personality! She will always make sure that your needs are taken care of, and that everything is in order. This is what we need in college! She will inspire you to get down to business, and ace those finals!

9. Chandler brings out your sarcastic side.

Chandler is hilariously sarcastic and it is perfect. He is always saying what everyone is thinking, but in a witty way. You will definitely relate to him if you are a college senior, because you are to the point of wanting to move on from college, and you have had enough with some things, so you just use a sarcastic tone as an everyday thing... or you could already have one and nobody get's your sarcasm... ever.

10. And Joey brings out your hilarious side.

Joey is by far my favorite character (along with Phoebe of course), and he will quickly become one of yours too. He is funny, genuine and so crazy, especially when it comes to women. But you love him either way.

Oh, did I forget Ross? Well... I did that on purpose

NEVER be like Ross... ever. Ross seems to always get the short end of the stick so be careful if you relate to him, and don't let him influence you with all of his terrible decisions.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
