Which Friends Character You Are Based On What Instrument You Play

Anyone who was involved in band in high school knows the harsh stereotypes of their instrument. And while they can be exaggerated at times, they hold some truth. Despite that, all instrument personalities have some great traits that come together to form a pretty close-knit and strong group, similar to that of one of the best TV groups of all time. Find your instrument to see what Friends character you'd be:

Flutes: Rachel

At first, flutes seem spoiled, like Rachel did when she first came to live with Monica because they get all the good parts and you can always hear them cut through the band. They can come off as dramatic and wanting attention but flutes are really caring, passionate, and have a soft, beautiful side.

Oboes: Janice

Don't lie, you just said, "Oh. My. Gawd" in your head in Janice's voice. Her voice can be annoying at first, like the sound of the oboe (you remember how it sounded back in 4th grade) but under the reed problems, there's a lot more there. Oboes, like Janice, are loyal if nothing else and just want their loved ones to be happy, whether it's Chandler or a close friend.

Clarinets: Monica

Competitive, over-achiever, detail oriented. Monica knows what she wants in life and is determined to get it, like a clarinet player (have you ever seen them at auditions?). They feed off the energy of others but still know how to assert themselves and be heard.

Saxophones: Phoebe

Nothing is too out there in the world of Phoebe Buffay, where I'm sure there are plenty of saxophones that are just as quirky and free-spirited.

Bassoons: Gunther

Gunther pops out at the Central Perk every so often, like how the bassoons pop out of the texture of the ensemble every now and again. They're a seemingly random addition to the group but it wouldn't be the same without them. They may be a little quirky at times but they're loyal friends and hard workers.

Trumpets: Jack Geller

Jack Geller, and many trumpets worldwide have a bad habit of saying the most inappropriate jokes at the worst times ("I'm not paying for your wine cellar you thieving, would-be-speaking-German-if-it-weren't-for-us, cheap little man"). They speak their mind and always want to be heard, which can make them come across as having a big ego, but when you hear them hit that high C, they're kind of justified.

French Horns: Ross

French horns like to let everyone know they play the horn. Ross likes to remind us that he's a paleontologist. But sadly, no one cares. French horns are also confident, usually not too cocky, detail-oriented, and focused.

Low Brass: Chandler

Do you know what Chandler does at work? Yeah, didn't think so. But you also probably don't know what the low brass does in the back of the band. Though sometimes unsure of themselves, the low brass love to make jokes and use sarcasm in at least every other sentence.

Percussion: Joey

"Joey doesn't share food!!" Basically, don't touch Joey's food, and don't touch the percussion instruments unless you want your hands cut off. Many people think that like Joey, percussionists are dumb and all they do is hit random stuff with a stick. But really, they are very intelligent and are passionate about what they do.

But, no matter the individual stigmas of each instrument or character, the group definitely wouldn't be the same without them.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
