5 Reasons Why "Friends" Is The Best 90's Show

I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too

After 10 seasons of laughter, tears and a whole lot of love, "Friends" still withstands the test of time. Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Joey resemble the close knit friend group everyone aspires to be in. It was nominated for 62 Emmy Awards and ranked 21 on TV Guide's 50 Greatest TV Shows of All Time. Here are just 10 reasons why "Friends" is the best 90's show:

1. It's relatable


Every situation that the characters go through is something that an everyday person could relate to. Whether it's Rachel running out on her marriage, Chandler changing careers, or Joey trying to make it as an actor, all of these have the viewers saying, "that could be me."

2. Chandler and Monica's Relationship


Chandler and Monica have the most interesting relationship out of all of the characters. They started out as just friends and then their bond flourished into something more. Both of them teach us that relationships take patience, love and respect for them to work.

3. "I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too"


Right from the opening credits, the catchy theme song starts playing. It's a carefree song that makes you want to get up and dance. The underlying message in the song is to always be there for your friends, no matter what.

4. The friends themselves


Everyone knows a neat freak Monica, a funny Chandler, an eccentric Phoebe, a flirt Joey, a spoiled first season Rachel, and a smart Ross. Although they may be different people, together they make "Friends."

5. Life doesn't always have to follow a plan


A planned life is nothing close to what the characters get. Rachel and Ross didn't plan to have Emma, Monica and Chandler didn't plan to get together, Phoebe and Mike met on a blind date. No matter the situation, the characters still have the best life possible in the end.

No matter how many times the show is watched, it never gets old. The jokes, lines and characters are timeless. Could it be any more relatable?

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
