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.

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.
