16 Times "Friends" Accurately Depicted How You Felt

"Friends" premiered the year before I was born. Even though it's humor was too mature for me as I was growing up, I can surely appreciate it now. Catching a few episodes as a teenager showed me why the series was so successful. I did not follow the show chronologically, I would just watch it when it came on Nick at Nite.

Once the entire series was put on Netflix, I decided to really see what all the hype was about. It turns out that not only is "Friends" funny, but it is also relatable. Even though characters are older than me and my peers, the situations they get themselves into and the inner turmoils they have are relevant to us at this point in our lives. I hope that the friends that I have made now will last for a long time, and that the memories I create with them are just as fun, if not more, as those in the show. The following are instances when the show hit the nail head on with how we felt.

1. When responsibilities pop up from nowhere... (Run.)

2. When you try to give advice to your childish friends...

3. When you start to realize that life is unfair...

4. Even though you are legally an adult, sometimes, basic functioning is hard.

5. The description you really want to put on your Tinder:

6. When you want people to like you...

7. When you are bored in class...

8. When someone's story is postponing you and your food from having a love affair...

9. When you haven't eaten all day and someone mentions food...

10. When you hear a noise outside late at night...

11. Trying to act sexy for your significant other...

12. When you are at a social event and it is taking too much energy out of you...

13. When you decide to dance, even though you know you are bad at it...

14. When you are arguing with someone and can't think of a response fast enough...

15. When you are so close to rewarding yourself, but....

16. And lastly, when you realize that all you have to offer is your humor...

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
