Questions About 'Friends' That Will Never Have An Answer

edisonlsm

"Friends" celebrated its 25th Anniversary. It has been a quarter of century enjoying the adventures of Monica, Ross, Phoebe, Rachel, Joey and Chandler in "Central Perk." I am a huge fan of the show. I do not know how many times I have watched each episode.

I have to admit that my favorite season is the fourth and the first is my least favorite is season one. I am not sure about the final episode, or the way they drove some stories, such as the crush between Rachel and Joey, but I can say "Friends" is unique and a great TV show.

I want to share with you the 25 questions I have and 25 years later, they do not have an answer.

1. How Rachel and Monica could afford their apartment?

Let's face it, no matter they said, they did not have money to pay the rent of that apartment at least the first three seasons.

2. Why did they only make parties for Rachel’s birthday?

They never celebrated Chandler, Phoebe, or Ross's birthday. Only when they turned 30.

3. How much did they spend in coffee?

media.giphy.com

I have read they spent over $2000, but I think it was much more.

4. How did Phoebe leave the streets and start living with her grandmother?

I never understood Phoebe's history. It is confusing and her grandmother is like she did not exist, even when she had the triplets, the grandmother never showed up.

5. Did Phoebe’s grandmother know Lily was not the biological mother of her and Ursula?

The same. Why Phoebe's story is so badly told.

6. How could Joey afford all his dates in the first seasons?

media.giphy.com

He did not have money for a long time. How he could pay for all those dates.

7. Has Ben ever met his sister Emma?

I think this is the worse mistake in the full show. They had to show the siblings together at least once.

8. Did Dennis really exist?

media.giphy.com

Do you remember Dennis? Phoebe's roommate who lived with her precisely in the time Rachel had to move, and the same one who left Phoebe's apartment just in time to make the two blondies live together.

9. Could Mike be more perfect?

media.giphy.com

He is perfect; I do not have to say anything more.

10. Did they have other friends?

The truth is only Phoebe had other friends.

11. Which is the best couple: Rachel & Ross or Chandler & Monica?

media.giphy.com

My vote is for Chandler & Monica.

12. Does Ursula keep making porn movies?

media.giphy.com

I believe she is still in the business.

13. Why did Mark always offer a new-perfect-job to Rachel?

I think Ross was right.

14. Were they on a break?

media.giphy.com

I am with Rachel in this.

15. Does Bonnie still bold?

I think she is bold now.

16. Why did Rachel not remember Chandler even though they kissed in the past?

media.giphy.com

This is another mistake in the story. The writers added Rachel & Chandler's past by the seasons.

17. Why if everyone had family did they celebrate Thanksgiving together?

You know it is weird. They spent so much time together, why did they not visit their families on holidays.

18. Why did we hate Emily when she is right?

She must be mad; Ross said Rachel at their wedding.

19. Why Rachel & Joey? Why?

media.giphy.com

I hate this idea.

20. It is me, or was Monica & Chandler’s wedding not so good?

The whole season 8th was about the wedding and the wedding was so whatever.

21. Did you notice Ross has many red sweaters?

media.giphy.com

I do not know how they did not realize he was Rachel's baby's father since the beginning.

22. What did Chandler study in college?

We discovered what he did for a living, but they never mentioned his career.

23. When did the chicken and the duck die?

media.giphy.com

They disappeared one day and we could not say goodbye.

24. Why neither Monica & Chandler nor Ross buy curtains?

They could see each other's apartments, why did they not try to stop stalking each other.

25. When do we have a “Friends” revival?

media.giphy.com

I will never lose the hope of having them together one more time.

I know you have more questions, please, do not forget to send me yours. My twitter is @maghersim.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
