13 Unavoidable College Moments, As Told by 'Friends'

"Friends" has recently come out on Netflix (all 10 seasons!), and after binge-watching several seasons and starting the series over, I cannot help but feel like I know all the characters personally. "Friends" captures so many hilariously true moments in life. From Rachel's honest and complex relationship with Ross, to Chandler's social awkwardness, and Monica's extreme competitiveness, "Friends" is relatable to many different kinds of people.

With college just around the corner, I've come to realize that so many moments on "Friends" are perfectly applicable to the exciting, sometimes difficult, and unforgettable memories you make in college.

1. When you're single in college and it seems like EVERYONE has a significant other besides you, it is easy to feel like Chandler.


2. That face you make when you've had the same five meal selections at the cafeteria for the past three months.


3. That moment in class when your professor hands back your test or final paper.

4. But then you realized you passed!

5. When your computer freezes and you loose EVERYTHING.

6. and you have to talk yourself through the devastation of losing hours and hours of work.


6. Or when you are suddenly aware of the truth of the cursed Freshman 15, but you still love food.

7. When you are moving into your ridiculously small dorm room and have to climb 4 flights of stairs.

8. When you accidentally walk in on your roommate changing, or doing something else, and you are scarred forever.

9. And you will have at least one guy/girl that makes you feel like Phoebe.

And you will have at least one guy/girl that makes you feel like Phoebe.

10. Or that moment when you are finding the courage to approach that cute guy/girl in class.

11. But then you also have those really memorable, awesome, and slightly drunk moments you will never forget.

12. You will learn some important but hard life lessons along the way.

13. And earn some lifelong friends that will be there for you through the good and the bad.

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.
