In This Article:

Everyone knows the iconic Friends theme song and although we may have joked in previous years how relatable it is, here's a breakdown of the lyrics and how they are so 2020, we might never be able to listen to it again after 2020.

So no one told you life was gonna be this way

Mad Season 5 GIF by FriendsGiphy

No one, and I mean actually no one, could have predicted this.

Your job's a joke, you're broke

Episode 12 GIF by FriendsGiphy

Pay cuts, lay offs, 'working from home', and online shopping all day. This line is too literal.

Your love life's DOA

Dont Touch Me Season 9 GIF by FriendsGiphy

Dating regularly was hard enough but throw in quarantine, dating apps and social regulations. We'll never find anyone.

It's like you're always stuck in second gear

Tired Episode 2 GIF by FriendsGiphy

Unproductive. Not moving forward or backwards. Unable to achieve anything. It is all 2020 wrapped up in a lyric.

When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month

Season 5 Loner GIF by FriendsGiphy

It's been no one's day, week or month since January 2020.

Or even your year

Episode 2 No GIF by FriendsGiphy

It's been NO ONE'S YEAR.

But I'll be there for you

Idk whether this is coming from my best friends or online shopping, but either way it works.

It's not like we see the outside world so rain or shine, it just doesn't matter.

I'll be there for you

Season 10 Hug GIF by FriendsGiphy

Maybe this is coming from Netflix instead...

(Like I've been there before)

Yeah, like Netflix reminds you when you've watched one too many episodes. STOP JUDGING ME, NETFLIX.

I'll be there for you

Season 5 Drinking GIF by FriendsGiphy

Maybe it's about alcohol, instead...

('Cause you're there for me too)

Drunk Season 2 GIF by FriendsGiphy

Yup, definitely about alcohol.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
