If F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Took Place Today

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.

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.
