'Friends' Is The Best Because It Is The Definition Of Happiness

I wish I was living in the 90s sipping coffee with Monica, Phoebe, and Rachel.

'Friends' Is The Best Because It Is The Definition Of Happiness
Warner Bros. TV

We all have our favorite shows, right?

For a lot of my friends, it is either "Grey's Anatomy," "Riverdale," "The Walking Dead" or any other pretty modern TV shows.

But, for me, I wish I was living in the 90s sipping coffee with Monica, Phoebe and Rachel on the show "Friends."

I have been watching "Friends" since Nick at Nite when I was 11 years old thanks to an old friend introducing it to me, and honestly...life has never been the same since.

Watching "Friends" is just so easy. I know everything about every single episode. I can quote them, and I still want to keep watching them.

I have my favorite seasons and characters, and my least favorites (*cough cough* Emily). I feel as if I am part of the group, too.

I was born in 1998, so technically, I’m not a true 90s baby, but this show brings me serious nostalgia. I would have loved to really experience the 90s just by watching this show over and over.

(Yes, I know. This is not what the 90s were really like, and this show is extremely unrealistic, just let me live this way OK?)

To me, TV shows today are made nothing like "Friends" was. They now have to have a lot of drama and cliffhangers, whereas "Friends" did have its occasional drama (For sure on Rachel’s side with the whole ‘break’ thing), but they focused on comedy and one-liners.

I’m pretty sure my sarcasm is solely born from Chandler Bing.

I’m not the biggest TV person, but this show, in particular, has brought me so many years and will continue to bring so many years of happiness.

So thank you, Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross for always being there for me (get it?).

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
