Friends, a staple TV show, is still so popular today that there are reruns of it every single day. But have you ever thought about what the show would be like if instead of it taking place in thelate 90's to early 2000's, it took place in 2017?

Their apartments would be A LOT smaller

No 20 something year old could afford a huge two bedroom apartment on a chef or waitress's salary. Today, their apartments would be one bedroom, that they made into two with a wall. There would definitely not be room in these apartments to host the number of people they have in the show.

Rachel would have found out about Ross cheating on her much sooner

Someone would have seen something on social media, or heard about it from a friend and text Rachel before Ross could even get to the coffee house from his apartment.

Carol would meet Susan through a dating app for lesbians

Or, Ross would have discovered that Carol was gay because someone saw her profile on the app.

Chandler would have a profile on every single dating website or app

Desperate times call for desperate measures?

Phoebe's music would be available on SoundCloud

So you could listen to Smelly Cat all day everyday.

Monica would Instagram everything she cooks

Her pictures would probably have captions with hashtags such as #Iamanamazingchef #foodporn #chefmonica

Emma would have her own Instagram

Created by Rachel of course to show the world how cute her baby is.

Monica would start a GoFundMe for her wedding after her parents used the Monica wedding fund to buy a beach house

Her and Chandler would also have the most extravagant wedding ever!!

Phoebe would find her Dad through Facebook

Rookie mistake making a Facebook Frank Buffay. If you're trying to hide from the families you abandoned, having a Facebook is probably not the best move.

Chandler would use Vine to do stand up comedy

He would only have 5 followers (Monica, Ross, Rachel, Phoebe and Joey).

Ross would have a hedgehog or some other "trendy" animal instead of a monkey

Sorry Marcel..

Central Perk would have an app so you could order coffee ahead of time

But don't worry, they will still spend way too much time at the coffee house.

Or at least try to do.

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.
