It's common to characterize yourself as one of the six main characters on the show Friends, but I think it's time to acknowledge the brutally honest times we have been every single one of them.

1.

I would simply like to begin by saying that if this hasn't ever happened to you, you're lying.

2.

Sometimes being a grownup means ignoring your problems and embracing a great opportunity.

3.

A conversation that probably happens often between you and your best friend is one similar to this.

4.

We have most definitely all been there.

5.

The moment when we think we can do it ourselves, but we've realized that we took on much more then we can handle.

6.

When we're not afraid to go for the fifth piece of pizza.

7.

You've probably said this after you've given countless amounts of advice, and the friend does the thing anyways.

8.

...which is probably the reason why they didn't take your advice.

9.

Someone doesn't care that you're hopeless and awkward, but you're still reminded that you're so lucky that they don't.

10.

The high-pitched, squeaky voice that you have when you definitely aren't fine- we've all been there.

11.

Sometimes you get lucky enough to have the best, non-judgemental friendships, and you're reminded that food is food after all.

12.

When you put yourself out there, but some social situations are just too much to handle.

13.

When bad days just happen, and the smallest thing turns into a really big deal.

14.

We all go through phases. Sometimes life calls for a change, and we get a little too creative.

15.

Your next midterm is coming up, and you don't have a clue, but you really, really try to.

16.

Trying to find that balance between independence and accepting support can be difficult.

17.

In whatever context you want to put this in, we've all been there.

18.

This is the phrase that comes after a string of unfortunate events that you're working on coping with.

19.

Discovering the joy of letting things go can be so freeing.

20.

When you're a little crazy, and your friends accept it, but barely.

21.

This is usually an inside voice, but sometimes it certainly comes out.

22.

Quite frankly, sometimes we don't even realize that we need to be stopped.

23.

Yes, whether we admit it or not, we've all had our Janice moments too.
