5 Friends Episodes Everyone Should Watch

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Friends_(letras_brancas,_fundo_preto).svg

I'm sure all of us out there have seen at least one episode of Friends, but there are a few that, in my opinion, everyone needs to see. I have been a Friends fan for quite some time now and I can say with certainty that I have seen every episode of Friends at least four times. Because of this, I can tell you which episodes are the most iconic and why. When I started thinking about episodes that everyone needs to see, I thought of tons but narrowed it down to five. So buckle up, fire up Netflix, and get ready to binge.

The One Where It All Began

There is no better place to start than this: the pilot. This is the episode where it all began, we meet the characters, Rachel moves in with Monica, and we even get a sneak peek at the history between Rachel and Ross. This episode is a must watch because it is where it all began.

The One With The Football

With Thanksgiving coming up I felt as if I needed to include one of the many Thanksgiving episodes. This episode is by far my favorite Thanksgiving episode. The gang decides to go to the park and play football while the Thanksgiving dinner is cooking. Rachel, Chandler, Phoebe, and Joey find out about the Geller Cup. Along with that, Chandler and Joey fight over a lady at the park which leads to tension between the two.

The One With The Cop

PIVOT! This is the episode with the iconic couch scene. Rachel, Chandler, and Ross are trying to move Ross into his new apartment and are struggling to get the couch up the stairs. This leads to Ross screaming "PIVOT!" many, many times. Also in this episode, Phoebe finds a police badge in the park and pretends to be an officer. This leads to her meeting one of her many boyfriends.

The One With Phoebe's Wedding

As you can tell by the title of the episode, this is the episode where Phoebe finally gets married! While this isn't a funny or fun episode, it is one of the most heartfelt episodes of them all. You see how much Phoebe cares about her fiancé and how much Phoebe's friends care about her. It is one of the truest episodes of them all.

The Last One

Finally, the finale (which is technically two episodes but it's fine). Now, I can't say much about this one because I don't want to spoil it, but what I can say is, everyone's dreams come true in these final two episodes. If you can only watch one, watch this one. If you want the full experience, you need to watch the whole series.

Now, click off of this article, put down your phone, and witness the wonders of Friends. Enjoy! I'll go get the popcorn...

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

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.
