Monica found out she was unable to conceive, but she was able to adopt. Rachel found out she was pregnant with Ross' baby, but she ended up as happy as ever. Joey almost quit acting, but became a star on Days of Our Lives. They showed us that life doesn't always work out, but it has a way of giving us what we need.

Chandler was the best at making jokes no matter the situation, and if anything, he made you laugh more than any other character.

Monica showed it's okay to be focused

Monica was very, obsessive, when it came to things. She was serious about cleaning, super competitive, and even lost a whole lot of weight, but still had a heart of gold. If anything, her dedication got her to where she was at the end of the season.

They've all taught us to have fun

Just because they were in their 20's didn't mean they didn't enjoy their life. They had as much fun as possible and made memories to last a life time.

Great friends will always be there for you

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.

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.
