How The 'Friends' Theme Song Is Actually Describing 2020 — And It Couldn't BE More Accurate
NBC

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

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

Your job's a joke, you're broke

Episode 12 GIF by Friends Giphy

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 Friends Giphy

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 Friends Giphy

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 Friends Giphy

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

Or even your year

Episode 2 No GIF by Friends Giphy

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 Friends Giphy

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

Maybe it's about alcohol, instead...

('Cause you're there for me too)

Drunk Season 2 GIF by Friends Giphy

Yup, definitely about alcohol.

I Have An Eating Disorder And I Refuse To Let It Kill Me
Trigger warning: This article discusses topics that may be triggering for some readers.

I looked down at my thumb today. I know haven't been eating enough. I told everyone I would get all my vitamins and calories in. I totally wanted to eat more of the guacamole I bought the other day, but I counted what I had eaten and those numbers seemed a little too high. I decided I didn't need the extra helping, so I went to bed and the guacamole went bad.

I spend a lot of time on TikTok and I never know whether the products I see are worth it or not, especially when I'm looking at the price. For Christmas, my aunt got me a gift card to Ulta. I didn't know what to buy. I have way too many palettes and lipsticks. I have my essentials. What else could I need? Then it hit me that I saw a lot of people these past few months showing off their skincare fridges. So, the second I thought of it I went on the Ulta app and bought it. So, here are my thoughts.
