How To Tell If You Are the Gunther of Your Friend Group

We're all a little bit Gunther

How To Tell If You Are the Gunther of Your Friend Group
Jeryl Brunner

Gunther, the coffee shop employee from FRIENDS that wasn't initially supposed to be reoccurring, became one of the most memorable of the peculiar side characters on the show. However, he was always a little shy of fitting into the main group. We all know a Gunther. Heck, we are all partially Gunther. Here are some indicators of the unfortunate feat:


1. You high key fall in love with someone with no interest in you.

Rachel never even gave him the time of day.

2. Do your friends even know your full name?


3. All you want is to be invited to things.


4. You get the crappy Christmas presents.

For example, a slinky that your girlfriend didn't like.

5. Your advice always falls a little short.

6. Clumsy is your middle name.

7. Sometimes you interrupt at the wrong time.

I mean, Phoebe was in the middle of a break-up for goodness sake.

8. You occasionally give into your bad habits.

Like smoking, or as Gunther would say, "Oh, Dark Mother, once again I suckle at your smoky teat."

9. For some reason, you just can't get a date.

10. You get a little weird when you're trying to get to know someone.

11. Your "real job" isn't what it's cracked up to be.

12. Sometimes you do really exuberant favors for your friends.

Like buy their extremely expensive and terribly hideous cat.

13. You're at work so often no one recognizes you in a t-shirt.

And when they do, you look a lot like Charlie Brown.

14. You forgive a little too easy.

Especially involving people named Rachel.

15. Sometimes you can be a bit too blunt.

16. Like all the time.

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.
