6 Pennsylvania Colleges If They Were "Friends" Characters

"Friends" has been a popular show since the 1990s, and it has yet to simmer down. Friends is my personal favorite TV show; I had seen every episode an upward of 12 times before it came out on Netflix. I have grown to love these characters and wish they were my friends too. I am now a junior in college and I have been starting to notice some correlations between college and "Friends". I go to school in Pennsylvania, a state filled with colleges and universities, which give a variety of different lifestyles. PA schools would fit in great as a Friends cast so I decided to make it one.

1. Chandler Bing - West Chester University

I am going to start out with my favorite school and favorite character in the show. WCU is a school unlike any other. It gets underrated a little bit, similar to Chandler, but once you start to get to know them a whole new side comes out. West Chester and Chandler are both the jokers of the group; even with important events (i.e. Trump visiting, teachers striking, preachers harassing students) students at West Chester have a way of making a joke out of it.

2. Joey Tribbiani - Bloomsburg University

While Bloomsburg might lack some of the brains, they definitely make up for it in the party scene just like Joey. Joey is always down for anything whether it involves alcohol, food, or anything else really. If you ask a Bloom student to join you in something crazy, they will definitely be in. Joey and Bloom are both hard to hate- they stick to their own thing and they have a damn good time doing it.

3. Phoebe Buffay - Temple University

Phoebe has a very interesting past, she was homeless on the streets of New York City for a few years and would definitely be able to put up with Temples antics. She is quirky and peaceful but she still doesn't take shit from anyone, just like Temple. She walks to the beat of her own drum, dresses to express herself, and can sing and play the guitar and if that isn't Temple, I don't know what is.

4. Rachel Green - Penn State University

Penn State and Rachel are both fully aware that people do not like them sometimes, but they couldn't care less. They both tend to put a little more effort into their appearance and probably care about themselves more than the rest of them do. Even if appearance comes first, they are both there when you need them. Rachel is a great friend and Penn State does amazing charity work; both undeniable regardless of opinions.

5. Ross Geller - University of Pennsylvania

Ross and UPenn are the brains of the group. Ross is a paleontologist and professor with a PhD; the only people who would be interested in paleontology probably go to UPenn. They are the rationale of the group and also the most successful.

6. Monica Geller - Villanova University

Unfortunately nicknamed "Villanofun", both Villanova and Monica are the ones to bring the group back to reality. Monica and Villanova can be the sticklers and tend to stay to what they know; but when they let loose, they do it right (i.e. the night of the basketball championship).

PA is filled with schools that are perfect for everyone; these schools just so happen to be perfect for "Friends". I think it's time for all of us to have our own show now, too.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
