Rachel Should Have Never Gotten Off Of The Plane, Bottom Line

YouTube

So I just finished watching Friends for the hundredth time and I am just going to say it... RACHEL SHOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN OFF THE PLANE!

First, let me just start by saying that Ross was by no means good enough for Rachel. HE held her back in so many ways.

He asked her to give up her dream of going to the fashion center of the world to be with him. Any man or woman that truly loves you would never ask you to give up your dreams for them!

Second, Ross is a passive man (and there is nothing wrong with that) but he just isn't right for Rachel.

Rachel is a strong powerhouse of a woman. She managed to grow from being a daddy's girl, reliant on someone else's money, who got her first job at a coffee house and worked hard to get a job at Bloomingdale's and Ralph Lauren to an amazing job in Paris.

If Ross had truly loved Rachel, he would have looked for jobs himself and HE would have moved to Paris. You can study dinosaurs anywhere. Better yet, being in Europe Ross would have been even closer to dig sites in Africa and Asia.

Third, let's not forget that Ross cheated on Rachel! I don't agree with all this "we were on a break" crap because a break is not a breakup! Ross was angry at Rachel for once again working on herself and forwarding her career. Not everyone gets a job as a professor and is successful right away.

This was Rachel's first experience working and trying to establish herself as a professional. Ross couldn't understand that!

He needed Rachel to spend all her time with him and not focus on building up herself! He was mad about that and he CHEATED on her.

From that moment on the whole I love him, I hate him, story line just shouldn't have happened.

Needless to say, I have very strong feelings about this. Rachel needed to stick to her guns and do what was best for her.

Ross overwhelmed her in an airport and she fell for it. Who knows, three weeks later she might have woken up, realized her mistake and wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.

We will never know... that is until our prayers are finally answered and we get a Friends reunion! One can only hope!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
