10 Things "Friends" Has Taught Us About Life

Living your life based on the helpful life lessons from "Friends"

10 Things "Friends" Has Taught Us About Life

Life was hard until "Friends" came along.


10. It's not Smelly Cat's fault.

What are they feeding you? Phoebe's ballad opens our eyes to the truth behind the friendly neighborhood smelly cat. We are all now educated on the fact that they won't take him to the vet, he's obviously not the favorite pet, and he's no friend to those with noses. Clearly, his owners are at fault here.

9. Don't count "mississippily" in a tanning booth.

How do you count to five? Beware of the tanning booths, if you count "mississippily," you'll end up being an eight on the front...and 0 on the back. Look at the plus side, you could do your own rendition of "ebony and ivory!"

8. Your whole head can fit inside of a turkey.

If you feel like pranking your friends on Thanksgiving, be sure to remember you can fit your whole head in there. You will lose all sense of sound direction, but at least you'll scare Chandler.


7. The "hug and roll" technique

Is it just too hot cuddling with your partner in bed? Simply use your body and sway to their side of the bed, as they smoothly sink into their side of the bed, release your arm from underneath them and now, have a great night's sleep. You're welcome.


6. Everybody has a lobster

It is a fact of life that lobster's can fall in love and when they do they mate with that one lobster for life. You have a lobster out there. Don't spend your life looking for your lobster. When it's the right time, your lobster will find you. What a beautiful fairy tale.

5. Everyone has an identical hand twin.

Someone somewhere in the world has the same hand as you! You could be making millions, what are you doing dealing blackjack at Ceasar's Palace? You know Oprah's going to want to talk to you.


4. Never bet your apartment in a game of "Who knows who?"

You may think you know everything about your friends, but at least make sure you know what they do for a living. In the case that Rachel answers before you with "transbondster," bye, bye pretty apartment, and hello smelly boy's apartment.

3. If stung by a jellyfish, pee on it.

There was this special on the Discovery channel, they said there's ammonia in pee that lessens the pain of a jellyfish sting. Since you can't get a great angle, you know your best friends will save the day. If they needed you to pee on them, you would, wouldn't you?


2. Never use 'we were on a break' as an excuse.

It won't work, it will never work. Just don't do it.


1. There are seven basic erogenous zones

You start with a 1. A 2. A 1-2. A 1-2-3. A 3. A 5. A 4. A 3-2, 2. A 2-4-6. 2-4-6. 4, 2, 2. 4-7. 5-7. 6-7. 7. 7. 7. 7!



All-in-all, once you complete the 10 seasons of "Friends," you will feel ready to take on the adult world. Especially with your own friends by your side.

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.

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.

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.
