Why Joey And Rachel Should Have Ended Up Together

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.

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.
