Five Reasons Why Ross Geller is the Worst

When Netflix announced that they were going to stream the ever popular 90s TV show "Friends," I was incredibly eager to see what all the hype was about. Needless to say, for the most part, I was not disappointed. I found myself incredibly amused and attached to the characters, as if they were my own friends—except for one. From the very beginning, something about Ross Geller just did not sit right with me. This was surprising, because the nerdy, puppy-dog aesthetic is usually relatable. However, I quickly realized a sentiment that many have echoed throughout the decades since the show came on the air: Ross is the worst.

1. He is the stereotypical “nice guy," and it is awful.

Every time a woman decides that she is tired of Ross blaming her for everything all the time and leaves him, Ross just cannot seem to comprehend why he cannot manage to maintain a relationship. He is just such a nice guy! He was so kind and polite! How could she find even a single flaw within their relationship?


However, from the perspective of someone who is not entirely self-absorbed, the reason seems completely obvious—Ross Geller is completely unconcerned for the well-being of anyone but himself.

2. Remember Ross’ older son, Ben? Neither does Ross.

The moment that Ross has a daughter with Rachel, it is as if Ben never existed. A “number one dad!” mug is certainly not in Ross’ future anytime soon.

3. “WE WERE ON A BREAK!”

No. Just no.

4. “I, Ross, take thee, Rachel-“

Okay, Ross, a word of advice: If you are standing at the altar with the person you promised to spend the rest of your life with, for the love of all that is good, GET HER NAME RIGHT. And once you screw that up—way to go, by the way—try to be a little understanding when she doesn’t immediately laugh it off. And once she runs away and hides from you because you are angry at her for not laughing off your stupidity, wait it out at the airport to see if she shows. Stay there all night if you have to. You got her name wrong at your wedding. She has the right to be a little late. And once you managed to ignore all this advice, do not invite the person whose name you accidentally said on your honeymoon with you. And once you invite that person, even though I explicitly told you not to, do not abandon them to chase after your ex-fiance. Do not do it.


5. Leather pants are never okay. Enough said.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
