Life is inevitably a challenge 99 percent of the time, so recently, I have been spending my time watching reruns of Friends on Netflix. Friends is one of those shows that a person can watch at any time of the day and just feel... better about themselves. The group is always up to no good and struggles just as much as the rest of us do. I personally always thought I related to Phoebe or Joey, but the more I watch, the more I realize how much Ross describes nearly every emotion I go through each day.
1. "I'm fine!"
The classic girl line. Chances are, if I say “I’m fine,” I’m nowhere near being “fine.” He’s the same way.
2. Grammar, grammar, grammar
Despite the fact that I will never feel for Ross when it comes to being a Paleontologist, I understand him when he gets angry at the misuse of “your” and “you’re.”
3. The little things
This one is especially true. Ross always gets upset when little things happen, and I feel as though we all do the same. I’d be upset if someone threw my sandwich away too, Ross.
4. Always getting made fun of.
Ross was always the one that the group picked on the most. Mainly because he made it easy for them to make fun of him, thus, I totally relate on so many levels.
5. Always lost/confused.
Yeah, this one goes without much explanation.
6. When things don't go a certain way.
It is hard to come to terms with the fact that sometimes things don’t work out the way I plan them, and apparently Ross has the same issues. Always be wary of having too good of a time, life will most likely step in and mess that up, it seems.
7. Never being understood
Since Ross is so smart, the gang always has a hard time keeping up to pace with him, especially when he does things like this. Relatable.
8. “We were on a break!”
Probably the most iconic Ross quote since he yelled it in everyone’s faces any time his relationship with Rachel was brought up. All though this is not as relatable for everyone, I personally want to yell it in my professor’s faces after a break from school (only figuratively).
You keep doing you, Ross. We'll be over here laughing at you while also feeling your pain.
