The TV show "Friends" has been one of my all-time favorites for most of my life. I think I have probably watched it about seven times all the way through. Even after having seen the same scenes and heard the same jokes time after time, it never gets old. I think I have finally been able to pinpoint why this show is still so loved.

1. It can always make you laugh.

No matter what mood you're in, Joey's ridiculous comments or Chandler's sarcastic jokes are funny enough to make you break out of any mood and laugh. This show's writing is so perfect that it is the cure for any bad day. Phoebe's way of life and Ross's keyboard "sound" can make anyone happy.

2. Rachel's wardrobe is reason enough to love the show.

Since she entered the first episode in a wedding dress, you knew Rachel was going to be one to keep your eye on. From the famous "Rachel Green haircut" to her stylish outfit choices, every girl everywhere became extremely jealous of her clothes.

3. They show how friends should forgive.

Even after the classic "WE WERE ON A BREAK" fight, the six friends all still managed to be best friends. Nothing seemed to get in the way of their forever bond, not even the British girl trying to break them all up. It is so refreshing to see a group of people with so much love for one another.

4. They care about each other above everything else.

Somehow they all manage to be at Central Perk all day, every day... regardless of their jobs. Unrealistic, but still nice to see. Even in real life, the actors are so close, which makes everything that much better.

5. You want to be one of the gang.

No matter which character is your favorite, although it is so hard to pick only one, you wish above anything else that you could walk into Monica and Rachel's apartment, grab a sandwich with Joey, sit on the Central Perk couch and hang out with all of them. (You would even let Ross talk to you about dinosaurs if it meant you got to be with them.)

There are endless reasons why this show managed to stay on air for so long, but this pretty much sums it up. This show, even though it ended years ago, is still so successful and relevant. These six actors made us love them and feel like we were there with them. My fingers are still crossed for them to do a revival!!
