Friends? What Friends??

Friends? What Friends??

As the countdown to the New Year occurred, so did the countdown for "Friends" coming to Netflix. 

Most people in our generation were either too young or not born yet when the show first aired in 1994. So 2015 has brought us all the chance to binge watch an iconic television show that isn't about the Kardashian family and their never ending family problems. The show teaches life lessons in a way that gives you a solution instead feeling like you've just been scolded by your parents. 

All the characters have such different personalities that mesh to create this amazing friendship in New York City. Phoebe Buffay is pretty much the flower child of the group. You can usually find her wearing rocking her long curly hair, a ton of rings, and a maxi while playing her guitar in Monica's apartment or Central Perk Coffee Shop. 

Rachel Green was the classic mean girl in high school that everyone was jealous of because of how beautiful she is. She's pretty ditzy and doesn't know much about the real world because her parents have done everything for her her entire life. However, she gets knocked off her high horse when her parents take away her right to their money. She learns to live on her own and becomes a (terrible) waitress at Central Perk. 

Monica Geller is the control freak, a.k.a. the mom of the group. Rachel used to pick on her in high school and now they're roommates. Monica likes everything to be clean and put in its place, which makes sense because she's a chef. Her need to keep everything tidy is difficult because everyone is always in her apartment. 

Ross Geller seems like he is possibly the most awkward person you will ever meet. He's a paleontologist, which is sort of random, and he is also Monica's brother. Everything that could go wrong usually does when it comes to Ross. He falls in love way to quickly and it's usually followed by a divorce. 

Joey Tribbiani is the pretty boy of the group. He's an actor that only gets about three auditions a month which obviously doesn't work in his favor. He's always jumping from one girl to the next and has no shame when it comes to one night stands. 

Chandler Bing lives with Joey, and the two of them live across the hall from Monica and Rachel. If there is a moment that is sad and uncomfortable for every one you can count on Chandler to lighten the mood with a joke. He's super sarcastic, which is why he's one of the best characters on the show. 

These six people have so much love for one another and would help each other out no matter how embarrassing the task may be. So if you still have some time off from school and aren't sure how to waste your time, I highly recommend watching this series from start to finish. Happy 2015!

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
