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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
