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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
