Five Reasons Why Ross Geller is the Worst

When Netflix announced that they were going to stream the ever popular 90s TV show "Friends," I was incredibly eager to see what all the hype was about. Needless to say, for the most part, I was not disappointed. I found myself incredibly amused and attached to the characters, as if they were my own friends—except for one. From the very beginning, something about Ross Geller just did not sit right with me. This was surprising, because the nerdy, puppy-dog aesthetic is usually relatable. However, I quickly realized a sentiment that many have echoed throughout the decades since the show came on the air: Ross is the worst.

1. He is the stereotypical “nice guy," and it is awful.

Every time a woman decides that she is tired of Ross blaming her for everything all the time and leaves him, Ross just cannot seem to comprehend why he cannot manage to maintain a relationship. He is just such a nice guy! He was so kind and polite! How could she find even a single flaw within their relationship?


However, from the perspective of someone who is not entirely self-absorbed, the reason seems completely obvious—Ross Geller is completely unconcerned for the well-being of anyone but himself.

2. Remember Ross’ older son, Ben? Neither does Ross.

The moment that Ross has a daughter with Rachel, it is as if Ben never existed. A “number one dad!” mug is certainly not in Ross’ future anytime soon.

3. “WE WERE ON A BREAK!”

No. Just no.

4. “I, Ross, take thee, Rachel-“

Okay, Ross, a word of advice: If you are standing at the altar with the person you promised to spend the rest of your life with, for the love of all that is good, GET HER NAME RIGHT. And once you screw that up—way to go, by the way—try to be a little understanding when she doesn’t immediately laugh it off. And once she runs away and hides from you because you are angry at her for not laughing off your stupidity, wait it out at the airport to see if she shows. Stay there all night if you have to. You got her name wrong at your wedding. She has the right to be a little late. And once you managed to ignore all this advice, do not invite the person whose name you accidentally said on your honeymoon with you. And once you invite that person, even though I explicitly told you not to, do not abandon them to chase after your ex-fiance. Do not do it.


5. Leather pants are never okay. Enough said.

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.
