15 Times Chandler Bing Perfectly Described Us All

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past two decades, you are at least familiar, if not obsessed, with the hit sitcom Friends, which ran for ten beautiful years (1994-2004) on NBC and provided its fans with six incredible lifelong best friends. Although Friends crushed a few souls with its unrealistic portrayal of apartment-living in New York City, it also blessed us with perhaps one of the best sitcom characters of all time: Chandler Muriel Bing. Not only was Chandler outrageously witty, he was also an easily relatable characters, which is likely why he is still so adored today. Looking back, it seems as though Chandler had a face, gesture, or joke for every mood, and I'd like to think a little piece of Chandler's unforgettable character lives within each and every one of us.

1. That time Chandler used his notorious catchphrase to express the struggles of dating.

And could he be anymore incorrect? Come on Chandler, you're a catch.


2. When he perfectly summed up your prospective Tinder, Twitter, or Instagram bio.

And did so with unmatchable eloquence and poise.


3. That time he offered advice to a friend in need.

Because, let's face it, we all have that friend.


4. When he recognized the importance of philosophical discussions.

If you say this thought has never crossed your mind, you are a dirty, dirty liar.


5. Or that time he was brave enough to admit his weaknesses.

If only we could all be so humble.


6. When he expressed an efficient way to avoid awkward encounters.

Or maybe this method just leads to more discomfort. Oh well, too late to change who you are now!


7. That time he was incapable of taking a decent picture.

Admit it; this is you every time you attempt to take a selfie. And no, you don't need to blame the lighting or the camera. Some days it's just really hard to be photogenic.


8. When his gym habits were a little too relatable.

No one sticks to their New Year's resolutions anyway!


9. That time he wasn't afraid to sing as though no one was listening.

Even though people were totally listening.


10. When he was a master at communication.

And summed up how it feels to desperately try and save a dying conversation.


11. That time he just wanted to be in the loop.

Because we all just want to be included.


12. When he finally had the guts to speak his mind.

And you should applaud him for his honesty.


13. That time he went out on a limb and was experimental with his look.

Just like you when you ponder a pastel hair color or high-waisted mom jeans!


14. When he didn't feel the need to establish boundaries with his best friend.

Because boundaries are overrated when it comes to friendship.


15. And finally, when he just wanted to be there for his friends.

Even if you aren't the most sensitive of people, you still make it a priority to help your friends out in any way possible.

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

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."
