Why Joey And Rachel Should Have Ended Up Together
FanForum

Find any college student, especially around finals week, and it is very likely that they will be watching Netflix. A favorite of a lot of students ia the sitcom Friends - the perfect series to binge watch. Now this is might be an unpopular opinion, but I cant stand Ross. I find him whiny, childish and pretentious, and I never wanted Rachel to end up with him. An even more unpopular opinion? I always wanted Joey, that adorable idiot, to end up with her. Here are 10 reasons why Joey and Rachel were perfect for each other:

1. They were best friends

They were perfect roommates and always knew how to have fun together. Way before they ever developed feelings for each other, they knew how to have a ton of fun together. Joey helped Rachel relax and brought out her wild side.

2. He was more in love with her than anything

Joey was head-over heels in love. He acted totally unlike himself and it was adorable.

3. He was willing to raise Emma as his own

We can all agree that Joey is not fit to raise children. But man was it incredibly sweet to see him want to set up and raise Rachel and Ross' baby girl. Now that is love.

4. They knew how to laugh together

Regardless if it was laughing at Ross' speech in Barbados or just goofing off in the apartment, they were always making each other laugh.

5. Joey made Rachel feel safe

Where does Rachel go when she and Ross figure out that living together as friends won't work? She runs to Joey. Even when it is something as small as watching a scary movie, she has no problem curling up to Joey. He is her safe haven, the one who makes her feel safe no matter what is going on.

6. Rachel didn't care that Joey was not the brightest

One of Joey's most lovable qualities was that he was not very smart. Now when Joey said something that exposed his less than average intelligence, Chandler would make a cynical joke and Ross would just be pretentious but not Rachel. Rachel accepted Joey for who he was.

7. Joey puts Rachel's feelings above everything else

Joey was with a ton of different women on the show and some he really liked. Rachel was different from all of them. He was so concerned about what was best for Rachel and that she would be happy.

8. Joey takes her to set even though he knows she gets a little crazy

When Rachel got around celebrities, she went a little crazy. She got their phone numbers, autographs or made sure that she got her 5 minutes of fame. Even though she did it time and time again, Joey kept bringing her around because he loved her.

9. Rachel is completely supportive of Joey's career

Rachel goes to set with Joey all the time. She helps him practice for auditions. She is always excited for him when he has new stuff happening at work. When he gets nominated for an award, it's only natural that Rach is right by his side.

10.They had great chemistry

They would have had an amazing love story. The writers did them a big disservice.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
