8 Things I Learned From Binge Watching 'Friends'
Stuff Point

Anyone who has watched the series Friends knows how addictive it can be.

It's hard not to fall in love with Candler, Joey, Ross, Rachel, Monica and Phoebe and all the adventures they have together. During winter break I decided to do a little binge watching. Here is a list of things I learned from Friends after my four day binge.

1. It's okay to be single in your 20's.

Sometimes being single in your 20's makes you feel like you're doing it all wrong. Am I supposed to be married or something? Should I at least be dating? Friends is a comforting reminder that not everybody in their 20's is in a serious relationship, or any kind of relationship for that matter.

2. You're going to fight with your best friends.

No matter how much you love your best friends, when you spend every waking moment together there is bound to be a fight or two, and this is okay. You know it will blow over eventually so just apologize when necessary.

3. Its okay to just do nothing sometimes.

When you've had a rough week, or just need a break from life in general, it's okay to take some time to just hang around and do nothing.

4. Not every date you go on will be a good one.

No matter how cute they might've been when you first met them, not every date you go on is going to go as you hoped and that's okay! On to the next one.

5. Having 4 cups of coffee a day is totally normal (?)

So this is kind of an assumption on my part to justify my coffee addiction. Central Perk is their main hangout spot, they must have have at least a few cups of coffee per day with the amount of time they spend there.

6. It's okay to not have your whole life planned out.

Just because you don't have your whole life figured out yet, doesn't mean you never will. It's okay to try new things and test the waters to figure out what you really want.

7. Be your own person.

Every character in the show has different personalities and their own little quirks that make them who they are. This is what makes the show interesting so don't forget to be your own person, your friends will like you for who you are.

8. Your friends will always be there for you.

No matter what kind of trouble you get yourself into, or the fights you have, or the mistakes you made, your friends will always be there for you through the good and the bad.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
