Which Friends Character You Are Based On What Instrument You Play

Anyone who was involved in band in high school knows the harsh stereotypes of their instrument. And while they can be exaggerated at times, they hold some truth. Despite that, all instrument personalities have some great traits that come together to form a pretty close-knit and strong group, similar to that of one of the best TV groups of all time. Find your instrument to see what Friends character you'd be:

Flutes: Rachel

 

At first, flutes seem spoiled, like Rachel did when she first came to live with Monica because they get all the good parts and you can always hear them cut through the band. They can come off as dramatic and wanting attention but flutes are really caring, passionate, and have a soft, beautiful side.

Oboes: Janice

 

Don't lie, you just said, "Oh. My. Gawd" in your head in Janice's voice. Her voice can be annoying at first, like the sound of the oboe (you remember how it sounded back in 4th grade) but under the reed problems, there's a lot more there. Oboes, like Janice, are loyal if nothing else and just want their loved ones to be happy, whether it's Chandler or a close friend.

Clarinets: Monica

 

Competitive, over-achiever, detail oriented. Monica knows what she wants in life and is determined to get it, like a clarinet player (have you ever seen them at auditions?). They feed off the energy of others but still know how to assert themselves and be heard.

Saxophones: Phoebe

 

Nothing is too out there in the world of Phoebe Buffay, where I'm sure there are plenty of saxophones that are just as quirky and free-spirited.

Bassoons: Gunther

 

Gunther pops out at the Central Perk every so often, like how the bassoons pop out of the texture of the ensemble every now and again. They're a seemingly random addition to the group but it wouldn't be the same without them. They may be a little quirky at times but they're loyal friends and hard workers.

Trumpets: Jack Geller

 

Jack Geller, and many trumpets worldwide have a bad habit of saying the most inappropriate jokes at the worst times ("I'm not paying for your wine cellar you thieving, would-be-speaking-German-if-it-weren't-for-us, cheap little man"). They speak their mind and always want to be heard, which can make them come across as having a big ego, but when you hear them hit that high C, they're kind of justified.

French Horns: Ross

 

French horns like to let everyone know they play the horn. Ross likes to remind us that he's a paleontologist. But sadly, no one cares. French horns are also confident, usually not too cocky, detail-oriented, and focused.

Low Brass: Chandler

 

Do you know what Chandler does at work? Yeah, didn't think so. But you also probably don't know what the low brass does in the back of the band. Though sometimes unsure of themselves, the low brass love to make jokes and use sarcasm in at least every other sentence.

Percussion: Joey

 

"Joey doesn't share food!!" Basically, don't touch Joey's food, and don't touch the percussion instruments unless you want your hands cut off. Many people think that like Joey, percussionists are dumb and all they do is hit random stuff with a stick. But really, they are very intelligent and are passionate about what they do.

But, no matter the individual stigmas of each instrument or character, the group definitely wouldn't be the same without them.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
