14 Signs You're The 'Monica' Of Your College Friend Group

Ever wondered what "Friends" character you were similar to? I believe I am a mixture of Monica and Ross, making me just a Geller at heart. It's been 12 years since the last episode was broadcasted, but fear not! Because the show is on Netflix, and you can binge-watch it anytime you want. But while you're at it, here are the 14 signs that may make you a Geller too:

1. You notice right away when something is out of order when you enter a friend's room or yours.


You've pretty much memorized the place and know where everything is, so when a roommate or a friend tries to move something, you notice automatically. They mean well and don't mean to fluster you in any way, so you cut them some slack. Change is good, you suppose.


2. You've been complimented on your cooking skills.

College is not the time to master your cooking skills but instead finding out what they are. Out of all your friends, you're the one most excited about cooking and isn't too lazy to go out and shop for some groceries. When your friends don't want to go to the dining hall for some crappy food, you're to the rescue with a pot and spatula.

3. Everyone is always over your apartment/dorm room even when you're not there.

Privacy? Is that even a thing at your place? Not really because everyone knows your code or has a key to your room/apartment. Your friends are there when you wake up to go to class, when you get back from classes and before you go to bed. Do they actually ever leave?

4. When you reconnect with someone from high school or somewhere else, it is as if they've never left.

You hold no hard feelings for not staying in touch with that person back in the day because the phone works both ways, and life is too short to hold grudges. When you meet someone from your past, you greet them as if not a day has gone by.

5. You are super competitive in everything.

You can't help it! It is just the way you were raised. You want to be good at everything and win everyone. You go into beast mood when you're playing a sport or a board game, Your friends already know that you're not the one to mess with, and they love/hate you for the competitiveness you portray.

6. You take care of everyone at parties.

You're the sober friend, or at least the most sober one of the group. You give your girlfriends a heads up when a guy is checking them out, or if they're about to make a huge mistake. Even when you're drinking, you are still the most responsible one so pat yourself on the back!

7. You weren't always the cool kid back growing up.

And your friends back home can't remind you enough about your rough childhood. They make fun of you with love, and it's all in the past, so no hard feelings but can they seriously stop bringing up Bob's fourth grade birthday party?

8. You can be (admit it) pretty bossy.

If you want something done well, you have to do it yourself. You love your friends but they don't always do things at your liking.

9. You put 110 percent into everything you do.

This goes with being a perfectionist. You want everything to go perfect because your friends deserve nothing less.

10. You tell the truth no matter how much it may hurt.

Sometimes you have to be the bad cop and tell it how it is. Your friends deserve nothing but the truth, and you've realized that for a true friendship to work there needs to be trust and honesty.

11. You date older guys (except for that one time...)

You are just so tired of guys your age or younger. They are not worth your time with their games and insecurity. You tend to be attracted to older men who know what they want.

12. Your parents notice your siblings' accomplishments more than yours so sometimes you explode.

Hey, you turned out pretty great; why don't mom and dad see that? It's fine because your sibling(s) didn't turn out as perfect as they think so you remind them of that during Thanksgiving dinner.

13. You love to clean and be organized and your friends make fun of you for it.

You like things a certain way and in a certain order. Is there a crime against that? I think not!

14. You plan most of the hangout sessions and keep everyone sane even when you're not.

You think of others before yourself. You plan a fun activity to do over the weekend or what food the guys may want to eat after their basketball game. You give advice and keep everything in order even when your life is not.

The "Monicas" of the world are a special breed. They love with all their heart and keeps everyone together, whether that be with warm and delicious dinners or just letting everyone into their place when they need somewhere to be. Thank you Monicas for just being you!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
