10 Things Every Friends Fan Knows To Be True

As a person who has probably watched the TV show Friends six times all the way through, I know for a fact that there are life lessons that I have learned that have helped guide me through my life.

1. It's okay to be weird; people will like you better by being yourself.

Much like Phoebe, we all have a weird side. Not all of us show it but when we do, it always exemplifies our characters. So be weird!

2. It's okay to embrace your inner child.

Each and every one of us has an inner child that is afraid to come out. Friends has taught us that we can all be kids even if we're in our 20s or 30s!

3. You really don't have to feel bad about what you eat and how much.

We all know how much Joey can eat... A twenty-pound turkey in fact. So if Joey isn't even sorry for how much he can and wants to eat, then you shouldn't either!

4. Sometimes your friends are your family.

The members of Friends spent years together, away from their families. They each became each other's family.

5. Never give up on the people you care about.

If there is definitely something to be learned from Ross and Rachel's relationship it is to never give up on the one you love.

6. It's okay to not take life so seriously.

Much like Chandler, who jokes about anything and everything about his life and everyone else's, you should learn to not take life so seriously. Joke about your situation instead of crying about it.

7. It's okay to not have your life together.

As college students, we have nothing together. But that's okay! We have our whole lives to figure everything out!

8. The real world can suck, but it's also pretty amazing.

Some of us have yet to face the real world, but when we do, but let us go into this new life with high expectations and the knowledge that it won't all be "hunky-dory."

9. You will always need your girls around.

I don't have very many female friends, but I know that they're always good to have around!

10. Don't ever let what people think affect you.

This is definitely something that you should never forget. Always be yourself. If someone doesn't like the real you, then they're missing out and don't deserve your friendship.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
