9 Reasons Chandler And Monica Are Better Than Ross And Rachel
Warner Bros. TV

Rachel and Ross are one of the most iconic TV couples of all time, let's be honest. Up there with Chuck and Blair, everyone knows that Ross and Rachel's is the kind of relationship everyone wants. But, let's get real, they are dysfunctional. Ross cheated on Rachel, even if they were on a break, and they break up and get back together too many times to count. Monica and Chandler are the real goal-worthy couple of Friends. Here's why:

1. They care about each other and it shows

When Monica gets sick, she's determined to ignore it so she can sleep with her husband. Chandler knows she's too sick and literally won't let her. That's love.

2. They're relationship isn't complicated

They don't break up and get back together one million times. Once they get together, it's mostly smooth sailing.

3. They make sacrifices for each other

There's one point when Chandler almost has to move to another state for work and Monica really doesn't want to. Eventually, she realizes she would give everything up just to be able to be with him. Of course, this doesn't end up happening, but she was willing to do it.

4. They were friends first

They spent years being really good friends with each other before they realized they had feelings for each other. They already knew each other's weird quirks and even after they got together, they stayed friends.

5. They know how to make each other laugh

No matter how silly it is, they always know how to cheer each other up.

6. They didn't rush into things

Chandler is the quirky, funny, sarcastic guy that everyone loves. He's extremely afraid of commitment throughout the whole series until he gets with Monica. He's never afraid to commit to her.

8. All of the foreshadowing

Once you watch the show knowing how it ends, all of the Chandler and Monica foreshadowing is so obvious.

9. It's impossible not to love them

Seriously, how could you watch this gif and not swoon?


Ross and Rachel's dysfunctional relationship has nothing on the pure love that Monica and Chandler have. They are so much more to look up to than Ross and Rachel. Good job, "Friends," for making the most perfect couple ever.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
