If you are like me, you are obsessed with the show "Friends." It truly is an oldie, but a goody. I recently just finished watching all 10 seasons on Netflix and realized it shows what it is like to be in your 20s. This part of your life is all about change and learning how to be an adult. You are graduating from college, getting a job, getting married, starting a family or moving out of your parents' house. Within the 10 seasons, we see all the characters adjusting to life, some happily and others worrisome. Even though the first episode is now over 21 years old, the show still shows what it is like as a 20-something.

1. Moving can be stressful, especially when your apartment doesn't have an elevator.

2. Not needing your parents' help with money. Well, for the most part.

3. Watching your friends turn 30 and not realizing you will be there soon yourself. When you do turn 30, you feel old and emotional like our good friend Joey here.

4. When takeout becomes your friend.

5. When your coworkers eat your food (and your friends have a sarcastic comment in return).

6. When you ride with your friend who is still a crazy driver.

7. When you become comfortable in your own skin.

8. The numerous weddings you attend.

9. All the flirting. Whether or not you even realize you are doing it or not.

10. When someone brags about how well they are doing.

11. You during all your 20s.

12. When your friends set you up.

13. You still act like kids when you are around your friends though.

14. That one annoying person you all hate.

15. Bills. All of the bills.

16. Getting a pet.

17. Finding the love of your life.

18. Overall, each character has taught us different things. It is OK to be yourself and we are all in this together.

There are numerous things we learned in "Friends," and numerous things we can relate to. While it is just a TV show, after 10 seasons it felt that they were part of our friend group. People in their 20s can relate to numerous aspects throughout the seasons. All the humor just added to the appeal of the show. If you are anything like me, humor is an important part of my life. Adding humor to life events make things easier. So, whether you are just starting your 20s or are well into your 50s, there are certainty aspects of "Friends" that you can relate to. Throughout the show there were marriages, divorces, adopting, giving birth for your own kids, surrogacy, dating your friends, and everything else that you can relate to.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
