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.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
