A TV Show Is My Escape From Reality

The famous sitcom "Friends" is the only show that can calm me down, put me in a good mood, and make me forget about everything.

Recently, the TV show, "Friends" announced that in 2019 they would be taking it off Netflix. This, of course, made my heart stop, my body drop to the floor, and had me crying for about 3 days straight. UNTIL they announced that Netflix paid $100 million dollars for them to keep it on Netflix. This made all my panic and tears wash away. This show has done more good for me than chocolate during my period. I am just saying. It never fails to make me laugh when I am sad, calm when I am in a state of panic, and even more happy after already having a great day.

Since I have watched every season probably more than 10 times, you can imagine that I know every single word to every single episode. That assumption is true and all my friends and family get super annoyed at me minus my little sister that is equally as obsessed. Although, I will say that I might qualify for most obsessed because I have a Central Perk sweatshirt, stickers and a possible mug in my stocking this year. It may seem like a little obsessive but I swear that this TV show has done wonders for me.

As someone who feels anxious a lot, this show seems to be the only one that can make me feel so much calmer and at peace with my mind. I do not know what it is. It has always been the show that takes my mind off of whatever is consuming my mind. It is possible that it is the fact that it is a very light-hearted show and there are not many episodes that would cause me to feel anxious. Also, the characters are all best friends, yes there were fights and tears, but in the end, all of them loved each other and were constants in each other's lives. I think that was what made me feel so happy and safe watching the show. I liked seeing people getting along and having so many fun memories together even though it was just a tv show.

Let us not forget the fact that this show is hilarious. I do know a handful of people that hate the show but I am convinced they are crazy. This show has so many moments where I have been uncontrollably laughing. Each character has a different personality and a different way of making the viewer laugh. The show definitely had a great way of making someone laugh in every episode. Even in the episode where Rachel finds out Ross slept with another woman. Big mistake Ross, you were in the wrong. But, while all the rest were stuck in the bedroom, even at the saddest time, they still managed to make jokes for the viewer to laugh at. It really is the best show to put you in a good mood.

I get it might seem silly for a TV show to bring someone so much happiness, but I don't really care because this is what works for me. If you are reading this and totally confused because you have never seen the TV show, exit out of this article and start season one because you will absolutely not regret it.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
