"Friends" describes college better than you ever will.

13 Unavoidable College Moments, As Told by 'Friends'
NBC

"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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
