What "Friends" Taught Me

What "Friends" Taught Me
Huffington Post

Everybody knows and loves the TV show, "Friends". It captured to heart of so many viewers with their corny jokes and hilarious plot twists. I think it took me only about two weeks to binge watch the entire 10 seasons. From watching it for so many years, people feel a real connection to the characters and wish they were a part of their friend group (I know I do). I've recently started watching it again and it's made me realize how much I really do love this show and how much it taught me. Everyone can relate to their dating adventures, job struggles, and unfortunate luck that life throws at them. Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe, Ross, and Rachel captured our hearts and continue to do so even after the show went off air. So I've compiled a list of 10 things that "Friends" has taught me.

1. Dating never gets easier.

2. Everyone struggles in their 20s.

3. Everything needs a good theme song.

4. Being friends with your ex is extremely difficult.

5. Everything will work out (eventually).

6. Good friends will always become your second family.

7. Pick-up-lines never work.

Unless you're Joey because he's the only one who can pull that off.

8. We all have a type.

You relate to one character more than the others and it's slightly terrifying ho much you're alike.

9. Some of your worst days could become your favorite memory.

Rachel may have left someone at the alter, but she was introduced to her 5 new best friends not too long after.

10. Your friends will be there for you, cause you're there for them too.

Best theme song ever.

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!

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.
