All The Things Rachel Green Taught Us

We are all beyond obsessed with all of the vibrant and relatable characters from Friends, but after watching all 10 seasons more than three times all the way through, I realized that I learned the most valuable lessons from Rachel Green. Don't judge me. All the girls want to be her and all the guys want to date her. Rachel, who is seen as the spoiled-brat daddy's girl, finds herself all over again with the help of these five friends.

Rachel, who decides on her wedding day not to marry rich dentist Berry, feels like she's hit rock bottom. Rachel, even in her late 20's, teaches us it's never to late to start over. Even though Rachel and her parents had her whole life planned out for her, Rachel decided that she wasn't going to settle for less than what she deserved. Starting over may be scary but in the end it's worth it. If you wake up one morning and no longer want to be a shoe then guess what? You don't have to the shoe anymore! You have the power to decide how you want your life to be.


Rachel also teaches us how to leave toxic friends and make new friends. Rachel, who has shallow and meaningless friendships with other rich friends, realizes that she deserves to have better friends. Although these 'friends' may act as a safety net for you they are not worth it. In your life you want people who are always going to raise you up not bring you down. No matter what age it is always possible to make new friends you just have to put yourself out there.

Rachel gives us hope that it's okay to be a crappy waitress and then eventually find your passion in life. Even while all of her friends have successful jobs and careers, she decides to give up her parent's money and start from scratch. It's also extremely important to work hard at what you are doing so that you can climb your way up the ladder. Always know though that it's okay if you don't know what your passion is in life but you should go out and find it.

Rachel teaches us it's never too late to fall in love with our childhood friends. Even though in high school Rachel barely even noticed Ross, they later on fall in love and *spoiler alert* get married and have some children. Whether it is your childhood friend you fall in love with or the man in the grocery store it's never too late for love. Rachel has taught us to never give up on love because in the end you run off a plane to find the man you love and it all works out happily ever after.

Listen to Rachel. Can Rachel Green do anything wrong? Well, yes she can and that's why we love her. In Rachel we trust.

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.
