How To Tell If You Are the Gunther of Your Friend Group

We're all a little bit Gunther

How To Tell If You Are the Gunther of Your Friend Group
Jeryl Brunner

Gunther, the coffee shop employee from FRIENDS that wasn't initially supposed to be reoccurring, became one of the most memorable of the peculiar side characters on the show. However, he was always a little shy of fitting into the main group. We all know a Gunther. Heck, we are all partially Gunther. Here are some indicators of the unfortunate feat:


1. You high key fall in love with someone with no interest in you.

Rachel never even gave him the time of day.

2. Do your friends even know your full name?


3. All you want is to be invited to things.


4. You get the crappy Christmas presents.

For example, a slinky that your girlfriend didn't like.

5. Your advice always falls a little short.

6. Clumsy is your middle name.

7. Sometimes you interrupt at the wrong time.

I mean, Phoebe was in the middle of a break-up for goodness sake.

8. You occasionally give into your bad habits.

Like smoking, or as Gunther would say, "Oh, Dark Mother, once again I suckle at your smoky teat."

9. For some reason, you just can't get a date.

10. You get a little weird when you're trying to get to know someone.

11. Your "real job" isn't what it's cracked up to be.

12. Sometimes you do really exuberant favors for your friends.

Like buy their extremely expensive and terribly hideous cat.

13. You're at work so often no one recognizes you in a t-shirt.

And when they do, you look a lot like Charlie Brown.

14. You forgive a little too easy.

Especially involving people named Rachel.

15. Sometimes you can be a bit too blunt.

16. Like all the time.

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.
