What The 'Friends' Characters Taught Us
"I'll be there for you, because you're there for me too."

What better way to describe the relationship between the well-know and loved "Friends" characters. Each one of these characters had their strengths and weaknesses, but without a doubt they each taught endless life lessons. That is just one of the reasons "Friends" is the heartwarming show that everyone loves. Here's what our favorite "Friends" characters taught us.

1. Rachel

Rachel demonstrates growth. Rachel started out as a perfect, little princess who didn't know how to work or live on her own. This was not easy for her at first, but after rising and falling, she learned that sometimes working things out on your own can feel good. She shows empowerment for all women. You do not have to rely on other people to have success. Be confident in yourself and you will go far in life.

2. Joey

The best part about Joey is his big heart. Joey might not be the brightest crayon in the box, but he sure is the sweetest. He showed that a lot of love can go a long way. He cared about each one of his friends so much. He was willing to do whatever it took to make them happy. Joey let us know that will a smile on your face, you can conquer the world.

3. Phoebe

Phoebe exudes positivity. She is just a bundle of joy. She is so naive, yet so aware of the world around her. She chooses to be herself. Phoebe does not care what anyone thinks of her. She is an individual. Phoebe teaches us that we shouldn't hide who we are on the behalf of others. Be you.

4. Chandler

Chandler is an overlooked character. His comedic relief portrays him as a lighthearted, funny guy. Although this does describe Chandler, he is much more than that. Chandler needs his friends every single day. He depends on those close relationships. Of course, Chandler is an awkward guy. Underneath of all his sarcastic comments is a sweet guy. Chandler shows us that it's okay to need your friends. We do not need to be tough all of the time. Sometimes friendships bring the biggest joy to our lives.

5. Monica

Monica is powerful. She is not afraid to tell you like it is. She knows how to take charge of a situation. Every girl should take this trait from Monica and run free with it. She does not let people walk all over her. We all should be as confident as Monica.

6. Ross

Ross is successful, and rightfully so. He shows that hard work and dedication pays off. He got a good job and was able to support his family. Ross is a family man. He cares about his relationships. He always wants what is best for the people he loves. Ross taught us that no matter how many times we get down, we have to get back up for the people we love.

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.

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.
