"Friends" has recently come out on Netflix (all 10 seasons!), and after binge-watching several seasons and starting the series over, I cannot help but feel like I know all the characters personally. "Friends" captures so many hilariously true moments in life. From Rachel's honest and complex relationship with Ross, to Chandler's social awkwardness, and Monica's extreme competitiveness, "Friends" is relatable to many different kinds of people.

With college just around the corner, I've come to realize that so many moments on "Friends" are perfectly applicable to the exciting, sometimes difficult, and unforgettable memories you make in college.

1. When you're single in college and it seems like EVERYONE has a significant other besides you, it is easy to feel like Chandler.


2. That face you make when you've had the same five meal selections at the cafeteria for the past three months.


3. That moment in class when your professor hands back your test or final paper.

4. But then you realized you passed!

5. When your computer freezes and you loose EVERYTHING.

6. and you have to talk yourself through the devastation of losing hours and hours of work.


6. Or when you are suddenly aware of the truth of the cursed Freshman 15, but you still love food.

7. When you are moving into your ridiculously small dorm room and have to climb 4 flights of stairs.

8. When you accidentally walk in on your roommate changing, or doing something else, and you are scarred forever.

9. And you will have at least one guy/girl that makes you feel like Phoebe.

And you will have at least one guy/girl that makes you feel like Phoebe.

10. Or that moment when you are finding the courage to approach that cute guy/girl in class.

11. But then you also have those really memorable, awesome, and slightly drunk moments you will never forget.

12. You will learn some important but hard life lessons along the way.

13. And earn some lifelong friends that will be there for you through the good and the bad.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.
