More than 20 years after it premiered, Friends has remained a timeless classic for many people around the world, perfectly capturing the trials and tribulations trying to navigate through young adulthood, figuring out who they are and who they wish to become. While the bricks-passed-off-as-cellphones and early 2000s fashion have certainly dated themselves, here are the 10 times Friends has proven that'll it'll always be there for you (when the rain starts to pour).
1. When all the classes you had selected for next semester's registration are closed.
2. When the dining hall keeps posting the nutrition information on their meals and you just want to eat your plate of French fries and pasta in peace.
3. When your professors keep assigning you piles of homework but hasn't graded any assignments since the first week of classes.
4. When it's winter in Syracuse. And there's snow. And lots of it. In April.
5. When you're finally home on break and can actually eat non-dining hall food.
6. When you have that one professor who decides that the one thing you needed over Thanksgiving Break was additional homework assignments.
7. Basically, Tinder fuckboys trying to slide into your DMs.
8. When you're two-thirds of the way through the semester, severely lacking sleep, failing to find motivation to finish your assignments and someone asks you how you're doing.
9. When someone asks you if you want to pregame.
10. When you realize that college brought you together with some of the best friends of your life.
