Recently, Netflix announced that they were going to take Friends off starting in 2019. But because of the millions of fans who stood up to keep it, Netflix ended up paying more than $100 million to keep the show for at least one more year.

With the unconditional love between all 6 characters and thousands of hilarious moments, this show perfectly captures the saying, "Friends can turn into family." Here are 10 reasons why Friends never fails to make me laugh and is the greatest show of all times.

1. Everyone is a different type of crazy in their own way

2. Even though life might not be going the way you planned, as long as you've surrounded yourself with great friends, everything will play out

3. Laughing is the best stress reliever

I mean, could the show BE any funnier?

4. Take risks once in a while and you'd be surprised to see what its outcome can be

5. Say the correct person's name at your wedding

DO NOT PULL A ROSS (unless you're not actually soulmates, then by all means pull a Ross)

6. NEVER bet on your apartment

7. Nothing comes without some failures

Take Ross for example, even after 3 marriages he still found his true soulmate.

8. Princess Consuela Bananahammock might not be the most appealing thing to change your name to

9. If your best friend really is your best friend, they should be willing to sit in a box for you

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
