15 "Friends" Episodes To Watch When You Need A Pick-Me-Up
The Huffington Post

"When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year," the show "Friends" will be there for you, or it least it has been for me.Whenever I'm having a bad day, or good one, in need of a laugh, when I feel like I'm "always stuck in second gear," or just want to have a feel good moment, I turn on, what I call the greatest show in history, "Friends." Here's a list of my top favorite episodes when I need a pick-me-up:

1. "The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate” Season one, episode one

From the beginning, this series plans to show the good and the bad of the real world by looking at the lives of five people, all in their 20's, living in NYC.

2. “The One with George Stephanopoulos” Season one, episode four

While the three girls have a GNI (girls night in), they all discuss how their lives aren't where they want it to be. Phoebe, the free-spirited character, made the iconic quote of not even having a "pla." I relate to this on so many levels!

3. “The One with the Prom Video” Season two, episode 14

Have ya ever heard lobster's mate for life? The gang watches an old prom video from the 80s when Rachel had her old nose, Monica was a few pounds heavier, and Ross was a little geeky.

4. “The One Where No One’s Ready” Season three, episode two

This is my all time favorite episode! Trying to get five people ready for the banquet you're being honored at is not easy, at least for Ross it wasn't.

5. "The One with the Embryos" Season four, episode 12

While Phoebe is getting implanted with embryos for her brother and his wife to be able to have kids, (weird I know), the rest of the group plays a game of who knows who best, the boys versus the girls.

6. “The One With All the Haste” Season four, episode 19

As Rachel is woken up early by the singing neighbor, her and Monica take action on getting their apartment back.

7. “The One with All the Wedding Dresses” Season four, episode 20

Really all I have to say here is, squad goals.

8. "The One with All the Kissing” Season five, episode two

Chandler is on a kissing spree and it's about the funniest thing to happen on the show.

9. "The One with Unagi" Season six, episode 17

Ross tries to teach the girls about being ready when danger strikes and he credits his knowledge as Unagi...

10. "The One with the Engagement Picture" Season seven, episode five

"Chandler, what is the matter with your face?"

11. "The One Where They All Turn 30" Season 7, episode 14

As Rachel turns thirty and doesn't handle it well, the episode flashes back to how each reacted on their 30th. I think I'll be Joey when that day comes.

12. "The One Where Chandler Takes a Bath" Season eight, episode 13

Sometimes all you need is a nice, long bath, and I think all of us can relate to Chandler on that.

13. "The One with the Blind Dates" Season nine, episode 14

Phoebe and Joey set Rachel and Ross each on awful blind dates, in hopes of getting them together.

14. "The One with Ross’s Tan" Season 10, episode three

When Ross failed horribly trying to be spray tanned... one Mississippi... two Mississippi...

15. "The Last One: Part One & Part Two” Season 10, episode 17

As the series comes to a close your heart will be sad but, they ended it beautifully and guess what? You can just watch it all over again!

It was so hard picking just 15 episodes from this show- comment your favorite!!

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
