Life, As Told by Ross Geller

I’ve come to the realization that Ross is basically me without actually being me.

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.

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
