'Friends' is an iconic show that will always have you laughing. Throughout the show, the characters take viewers on a crazy, fun ride full of ups and downs. Throughout all of these years, there are so many things that fans will always argue about. Here are 7 things that fans will never agree on!

1. Were Joey and Rachel good together?

In season 8, Joey starts to develop a crush on Rachel, even while knowing he can't do that to Ross. After a while, Rachel and Joey start dating after being friends for 8 years. Fans can never agree on whether that was the correct decision for the writers. In my opinion, Joey and Rachel were a cute, but awkward couple. I can only see them as being each other's best friends and nothing more.

2. What was the most iconic quote?

Throughout the show, there are various iconic quotes. Like, "PIVOT," "Could you BE wearing any more clothes?!," "OH MY GOD," and so many more. Fans disagree on what is the most iconic quote throughout all 10 seasons. In my opinion, Ross's "WE WERE ON A BREAK" and Joey's "How you doin?" are the most iconic quotes. They're both repeated throughout the 10 seasons so viewers become really familiar and connected to them.

3. Who was the best couple?

Ross and Rachel or Chandler and Monica or Phoebe and Mike? In my opinion, deciding who the best couple is one of the most challenging questions. There are so many moments that are special to all three of the couples that makes them stand out.

4. David or Mike?

Phoebe ends up with Mike in the end of the show. But, she left David for Mike. Was it really worth it or was she supposed to end up with David? David is introduced to viewers in the first season and is madly in love with Phoebe. But, unfortunately for him, he had to go to Minsk and leave Phoebe. Later, Phoebe meets Mike and the two are perfect for each other. Even though David and Phoebe are dating, Phoebe chooses Mike. In my opinion, Phoebe did the correct thing. Phoebe and Mike are perfect for each other. They have so many special moments and have a special connection.

5. Were Ross and Rachel really on a break?

Ever since the beginning of the show, viewers know that Ross has a major crush on Rachel. After some time, they finally start dating til they breakup after Rachel's new job and the girl from the copy machine damage their relationship. Fans disagree whether Rachel and Ross were really on a break or if they weren't on a break. In my opinion, I think that Ross and Rachel weren't on a break and Ross should've stayed loyal to Rachel.

6. Which season was the best season?

There are 10 seasons of 'Friends,' all of which are equally entertaining and filled with humor. Fans have a hard time agreeing on which season was the best season. In my opinion, season 7 was the best season because it focuses on Chandler and Monica's wedding and the gang getting ready for the big event.

7. Who was the best at being the "best friend"?

All of the six characters are loyal, funny, and most importantly, there for each other when one of them needs help. But, who is the best at being the best friend? This question, in my opinion, is extremely hard. Each one of the characters brings something unique to the table and all six of them together make the perfect group of friends.

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.
