Unforgettable Friends Moments

FRIENDS, the iconic sitcom of the 90’s has played such a significant part in so many people’s lives even years after its end in 2004. Our favorite characters became more like our favorite friends as we laughed, cried, and grew with them. Now that the show is fully accessible on Netflix, all ten seasons, it's no secret that everyone and their mom binge-watches them! In fact, I find myself in stubborn FRIENDS moods every so often, where I just want to sit in front of the TV and watch nothing but friends. I recently had one of these bouts, which led me to categorize my top FRIENDS moments. Not going to lie, as I write this I’m finding it extremely difficult to not deflect and watch an episode of two. Here are some of my most beloved moments in no particular order!

(SPOILER ALERT)

The One With The Race Car Bed (Season 3, Episode 7)

As Ross tells the gang about another one of his boring dinosaur dilemmas, the camera slowly pans over Rachel, Monica, and Chandler, then over to Joey and Phoebe. Each has a different thought going through their head, but my favorite has to be the moment when the camera pans over Joey and as he's humming Phoebe questions who's singing in her own thoughts. Implying that Phoebe really is as spiritual as she claims to be, but the audience are the only ones who are in on the secret. Now matter how many times I watch this episode I burst out laughing every time!

The One With All The Rugby (Season 4, Episode 15)

In this episode, Chandler has such a hard time breaking up with Janice that he lies to her about getting a job in Yemen. She is so heartbroken she follows him to the airport where he is forced to buy a real ticket just to deceive her into believing him. At the end she declares she is going to write him every day, '15 Yemen Road, Yemen.' I'm surprised she didn't pack her bags and hop on the plane with him! I love witnessing the struggle Chandler goes through just to avoid breaking up with Janice and how he comes up with the most generic address and excuse, and she believes it!

The One With All the Thanksgivings (Season 5, Episode 8)

Ok, so maybe I'm a little biased because Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and the Thanksgiving FRIENDS episodes are my all time favorites, but this has to be one of the funniest and most memorable scenes ever. After the gang reminisces their past thanksgivings and how dreadful some of them have been Chandler falls into a bit of a depression. Monica, being the amazing girlFRIEND she is trying to cheer him up by sticking a turkey on her head. The best part is when she starts dancing, and Chandler declares his love for her by accident.

These are just a few of my favorites, but believe me, there are so many more. There is never a dull moment watching these guys hang out in the Central Perk or flip flop between apartments. Here's to always having friends to go to when you need something to laugh about, or just something to watch on any given day. I'll never get tired of singing along to the theme song and mouthing the words to every episode. Chances are, you won't either!

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
