10 Times To Watch 'Friends'
huffingtonpost.com

"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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
