All The Things Rachel Green Taught Us

All The Things Rachel Green Taught Us

We are all beyond obsessed with all of the vibrant and relatable characters from Friends, but after watching all 10 seasons more than three times all the way through, I realized that I learned the most valuable lessons from Rachel Green. Don't judge me. All the girls want to be her and all the guys want to date her. Rachel, who is seen as the spoiled-brat daddy's girl, finds herself all over again with the help of these five friends.

Rachel, who decides on her wedding day not to marry rich dentist Berry, feels like she's hit rock bottom. Rachel, even in her late 20's, teaches us it's never to late to start over. Even though Rachel and her parents had her whole life planned out for her, Rachel decided that she wasn't going to settle for less than what she deserved. Starting over may be scary but in the end it's worth it. If you wake up one morning and no longer want to be a shoe then guess what? You don't have to the shoe anymore! You have the power to decide how you want your life to be.


Rachel also teaches us how to leave toxic friends and make new friends. Rachel, who has shallow and meaningless friendships with other rich friends, realizes that she deserves to have better friends. Although these 'friends' may act as a safety net for you they are not worth it. In your life you want people who are always going to raise you up not bring you down. No matter what age it is always possible to make new friends you just have to put yourself out there.

Rachel gives us hope that it's okay to be a crappy waitress and then eventually find your passion in life. Even while all of her friends have successful jobs and careers, she decides to give up her parent's money and start from scratch. It's also extremely important to work hard at what you are doing so that you can climb your way up the ladder. Always know though that it's okay if you don't know what your passion is in life but you should go out and find it.

Rachel teaches us it's never too late to fall in love with our childhood friends. Even though in high school Rachel barely even noticed Ross, they later on fall in love and *spoiler alert* get married and have some children. Whether it is your childhood friend you fall in love with or the man in the grocery store it's never too late for love. Rachel has taught us to never give up on love because in the end you run off a plane to find the man you love and it all works out happily ever after.

Listen to Rachel. Can Rachel Green do anything wrong? Well, yes she can and that's why we love her. In Rachel we trust.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
