10 Times To Watch 'Friends'

"Friends" is one of the most popular series that I know of. I make "Friends" references every day, and almost everyone understands them. It is a true blessing when I can find someone who loves "Friends" as much as I do. I watch "Friends" over and over again, and even sometimes I will watch it for a reason. Here are some reasons for you to watch "Friends".

1. When you are trying to decide what to do with the rest of your life: "The One with Christmas in Tulsa."

2. When you are actively looking for love: The One with Ross's Wedding Part I & II."

Even if it takes getting married and divorced three times.

3. When you have a crappy job that you hate, but it relates to your future career by 2%.

Monica was a waitress in a diner and she had to wear roller-skates. At one point, her fake boob caught on fire, but she kept her crappy job because she knew she would be a chef one day. Or when Rachel had to sort through a billion hangers that were jumbled together because she was in fashion.

4. When you and your best friends are single: "The One with All the Wedding Dresses."

So your brothers sends you to pick up her wedding dress, and later that day you and your two best friends are laying around in puffy white dresses drinking beer and eating popcorn, which is perfectly acceptable.

5. When you run out of your wedding "The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate."

If you are like Ross, you will marry anyone. If you are like Rachel, you will escape out the bathroom window before you have to walk down the isle, and only get married in Vegas when you are too drunk to remember.

6. When you are struggling with life, but you’re fine: "The One Where Ross is Fine."

Did someone eat your Thanksgiving leftover sandwich? Did you lose your cool at work? Did your best friend start dating the woman you are madly in love with? Did you burn your hand on the skillet full of fajitas? But you’re fine, right?

7. When you miss your best friend: "The One Where Joey Moves Out."

You may share an apartment with your best friend, then one of you move out. You want to be happy, but it is hard when you miss them so much.

8. When you are going on a trip to London: "The One with Ross’s Wedding Part I and II."

Maybe you are going for your second wedding, maybe you’re going for someone’s wedding, but it is an opportunity to see new things. Grab you a hat and step into your map, and enjoy your trip.

9. When you need a laugh: "The One with the Truth About London."

Any episode is good for a laugh, but one of my personal favorites is when Rachel teaches Ben a lot of tricks that he can pull on people.


10. When you need to cry "The Last One: Part 1 & Part 2."

The hardest part of "Friends" is the ending. You will cry like a baby after 10 seasons (10 seasons on Netflix, 6 seasons on DVD) of watching each character grow and change.

Through the many laughs that this series has provided me and many of my friends, it will always be one of my favorite shows. I will always fall asleep to it each night because I do not have to be watching the show, but I know what is going on and which episode it is just by listening.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
