The Best Main ‘Friends’ Characters Ranked

If you ask me what I'm watching on Netflix, 9/10 times I'll say 'Friends'. I have re-watched this show at least 5 times and it never fails to make me smile! It has gotten me through some pretty hard times and has taken away my boredom numerous times. For the most part, I have very strong opinions about the main characters, so here it goes. Feel free to disagree.

6. Ross

Sorry not sorry, but ross kinda sucks. He is just so annoying!!!! First, just because you were on a "break", doesn't give you the right to go sleep with another girl IMMEDIATELY!!!! Second, why the heck did he get married and divorced so many times? Seriously, get it together. Third, he has TERRIBLE taste in women.... besides Rachel of course. Fourth, he is SO condescending and judgmental over everyone. Fifth, the whining. never. stops. JUST SHUT IT, ROSS! Sixth, he finds anyway possible to make everything about himself, and it's obnoxious. I can pop out 30 more reasons, but I think y'all get the point.

5. Monica

Yes, her and Chandler are AMAZING, but Monica can really get on my nerves. She is just so pushy and bossy. She has to be the best at everything, no one else is given a moment to shine. Also... can we just talk about this gif real quick. Monica, honey, your hair looks DUMB. If your hair is frizzing output it in a bun or two french braids! I do, however, feel bad for the lack of attention, love, and support she receives from her parents. Mr. and Mrs. Geller, your daughter is wayyyy better than your son, please pay attention to her!

4. Rachel

It's not that I don't like Rachel, she just has her moments. I was so proud of her when she went her own way and made a life for herself in the city without the help over her parents. But.... her history with Ross really just bothers me and brings her down a few pegs. She tries way to hard with guys and when her snobby spoiled side peaks out it drives me crazy. On the positive side, she put up with a lot of garbage and she was a GREAT mom!

3. Pheobe

My dad is not a big "Pheobe Fan" and to this day I cannot figure out why. She is hilarious!!! Yes, she is a little dippy and the whole "my mom killed herself" excuse can be a bit excessive, but overall Pheobe is always there for a good laugh. I love how comfortable she is with being herself. She doesn't care what anyone else thinks of her and I really admire that. Nothing made me happier than when her and Mike fell in love. The two of them are the true OTP!!

2. Joey

First of all, his intense love for food and his Italian culture really hits home! I feel like something about Joey that is overlooked a lot is his dedication to his career. He doesn't have much success at auditions, but that doesn't discourage him from going to more auditions in the future. Not to mention, did you see how great he was to Rachel and Emma??? He totally stepped in there to help out and he even gave up Hugsy (with only a little bit of whining). Joey's downfall... he is a little too much of a player for my liking.

1. Chandler

How could one NOT love Chandler Bing?! I mean look how cute!!!! i just want to hug him. He is such a great husband to Monica, he is the BEST friend a person could ever ask for to Joey, and he is so cute with the twins at the end of season 10. The poor guy is always looked over and I feel like he is WAY under appreciated. I'm sitting here trying to think of a bad thing about Chandler and the only thing I can think of is that he prefers cats over dogs.... that's it.... otherwise he is perfect! I love you Chandler Bing, I hope I have a husband like you someday.

Well, it's time for me to go watch some more friends. I'm now contemplating doing a sequel to this article in the near future involving less important characters from 'Friends' or even doing this for different shows. Guess you will just have to wait and see :)

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.

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.
