Even though the TV show "Friends" has been around for over 20 years, the jokes and storylines remain a timeless classic for new generations. The show covers topics that apply to all kinds of people even years later. Although we may not have got married to our friend while drunk in Las Vegas or given birth to our brother’s triplets, we can relate to elements of the stories and their characters. We see bits of ourselves in the six friends as they try to make their way in the world – which isn’t so different to ours now. Here are 12 times "Friends" has taught us a crucial life lesson.

1. Being a grownup doesn't have to be scary.

Thank you Joey, for teaching me to stay a kid at heart.

2. Never give up on the one you love.

Oh, and she got off the plane!!

3. Don't count Mississippi-ly when getting a spray tan.


4. Always remember to pivot when moving heavy furniture.

5. The difference between You're and Your.

Thanks for the grammar lesson Ross.

6. Sundays are the day of rest.

Chandler, I am in 100% support of this particular life lesson.

7. Never put beef in a trifle.

No one ever said cooking was easy!

8. Live life without regrets.

Look at life the way Joey looks at food; with love and endearment.

9. Always know your relationship status.

PSA: Communication is key, people!

10. Love your body.

11. It's okay to express your true feelings.

We should all be a little more like Chandler.

12. Never take your friends for granted.

They'll be there for you.. cue the theme song please.

Despite the fact that "Friends" was an upbeat comedy, it's major impact on our society is still in affect today, and continues to spread happiness and laughter to new generations.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
