I believe that life should be care-free beyond college graduation. This personal belief of mine is derived from the American sitcom known as ‘Friends.’ That’s right! The show that is about six friends living their nonchalant lives in Manhattan during the late 20th century.

These six friends are known as the princess Rachel Green, the quirky Phoebe Buffay, the high-maintenance Monica Geller, the womanizer Joey Tribbiani, the nerd Ross Geller, and the funny one Chandler Bing. I believe that this sitcom isn’t like any other American sitcom from the past or present, because today everybody, whether they grew up in the 90s or not, is still buzzing about it as it is still relatable to our lives today.

Not much has changed since the series ended in 2004 because all six of these friends are still trying to figure out their lives when they’re all in their mid-twenties, which is around the time after we graduate college. I believe that there are still plenty of people out there today who are in their mid-twenties and they still don’t know what they’re going to do with the rest of their lives like the cast of ‘Friends’ .

I believe that the message the TV show ‘Friends’ sends is that it’s okay to not know you are doing with the rest of your life beyond college as long as you have your friends. Overall, it is okay to still be looking for love, looking for a job, exploring your sexuality, looking for a new place to live, or to be figuring out where the rest of your life is headed.

It is okay to still be a confused college freshman after you graduate because life's too short to be worrying about all of the long-term things all at once. I believe that as long as you have a group of close friends who are going through the same struggles as you then you are all set. Throughout the entire series of ‘Friends’, the whole squad of Rachel, Phoebe, Monica, Joey, Ross, and Chandler go through a major emotional roller coaster. Whether it involves everyone winning the lottery together. Ross and Rachel were on a break after their consistent on-and-off relationship.

Or Phoebe deciding to carry triplets for her brother Frank Jr. and his way too old of a wife Alice because they couldn’t have their own children. But despite this getting the best of everyone, in the end, all of them somehow magically come together in order to help each other realize that they will all always be friends. All of them love each other; whether in a romantic way, a bromance type way, or as a best friend. Some morals and beliefs about how life should be should never change, no matter how long ago they were. I believe that no one told you life was going to be this way.

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.
