Let's be honest... Friends might just be the best show to have hit TV in our time. Even better, miraculously end up on Netflix for us to binge watch over and over again. You really can't argue that you didn't take a little fashion sense from Rachel or humor from Chandler, or take Buzzfeed quizzes on 'Which Friends Character Are You?'. I took all three, and even a little more.

1. The real world is hard.

If the literal opening scene didn't teach you this, let me. Life is not easy. It's not fair or easy to predict, but that's okay! Because in the midst of a crazy hard life, you grow as a person. You learn more about yourself and the things that matter to you, and no matter how hard it may seem, you WILL get through.

2. Love yourself & be authentic.

You are an amazing and beautiful individual person. There is no other YOU out there. So love yourself, like everyone who can see the amazing you does.

3. It Doesn't Matter What People Think.

Why should you ever change just to make someone else happy ? And, if you're comparing yourself to others, stop. Any insecurities come straight from you. Life is too short to be worried about what people think, just be happy.

4. Take Chances.

How will you know if something is going to work if you don't even try? How will you know if it was the greatest thing that's ever happened to you, or the worst mistake you could make, if you never actually do it. So why not, because really the worst thing you can do is fail. And it will either give you everything you wanted, or will teach you what you don't.

5. You Don't ALWAYS Have To Win.

Yes, winning is fun. But, winning isn't everything. Sometimes it's okay to lose the argument or the game because it's not worth losing the big picture. Except when it comes to the Geller Cup...

6. Time Flies.

One day turns into two, and then a week, then a month, and before you know it the year is over and you're getting ready to start a new one. Make memories, ones that make the time that seems to get faster each time we get a new calendar worth it.

7. Fun Is Underrated.

We've got it all figured out, life is good and there's not a worry in the world... then we turn 4. Life get's complicated, and you have to deal with school/work/money/stress, and it feels like there's no time to laugh or just have good ol' fun. Make time for it, because a little bit of laughter goes a long way, and no one should live a life without it.

8. Not All Friends Are Meant To Last, But Those Who Do Are Treasures.

This one's self explanatory... *cue the tears*.
