Life, As Told by Ross Geller

I’ve come to the realization that Ross is basically me without actually being me.

Life is inevitably a challenge 99 percent of the time, so recently, I have been spending my time watching reruns of Friends on Netflix. Friends is one of those shows that a person can watch at any time of the day and just feel... better about themselves. The group is always up to no good and struggles just as much as the rest of us do. I personally always thought I related to Phoebe or Joey, but the more I watch, the more I realize how much Ross describes nearly every emotion I go through each day.

1. "I'm fine!"

The classic girl line. Chances are, if I say “I’m fine,” I’m nowhere near being “fine.” He’s the same way.

2. Grammar, grammar, grammar

Despite the fact that I will never feel for Ross when it comes to being a Paleontologist, I understand him when he gets angry at the misuse of “your” and “you’re.”

3. The little things

This one is especially true. Ross always gets upset when little things happen, and I feel as though we all do the same. I’d be upset if someone threw my sandwich away too, Ross.

4. Always getting made fun of.

Ross was always the one that the group picked on the most. Mainly because he made it easy for them to make fun of him, thus, I totally relate on so many levels.

5. Always lost/confused.

Yeah, this one goes without much explanation.

6. When things don't go a certain way.


It is hard to come to terms with the fact that sometimes things don’t work out the way I plan them, and apparently Ross has the same issues. Always be wary of having too good of a time, life will most likely step in and mess that up, it seems.

7. Never being understood

Since Ross is so smart, the gang always has a hard time keeping up to pace with him, especially when he does things like this. Relatable.

8. “We were on a break!”

Probably the most iconic Ross quote since he yelled it in everyone’s faces any time his relationship with Rachel was brought up. All though this is not as relatable for everyone, I personally want to yell it in my professor’s faces after a break from school (only figuratively).

You keep doing you, Ross. We'll be over here laughing at you while also feeling your pain.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
