Life is simpler in a sitcom.

12 Times Millennials Really Wished Their Own Lives Were A Little Bit More Like 'Friends'
NBC Universal

The hit sitcom FRIENDS first aired in 1994 and lasted for 10 years when the final season showed in 2004.

This show, to me, brought simplicity to my hectic life. A show consisting of 5 friends going through adulthood together. There were many times when I had so much going on that I would just sit down and watch a few episodes of FRIENDS just to make things seem simpler and it made me jealous of how fake that show really is because life is not that easy, even though we would love it if it was.

1. New York Living

Okay, those apartments were nice as hell and no one can say otherwise. We still ask to this day HOW they could afford that on such menial jobs.

2. Living off of medium wage no problem

The fact that Rachel would go on shopping sprees but was making money off of tips and minimum wage as a waitress at Central Perk is questionable.

3. Spending their days doing nothing and still keeping their jobs

Ever wonder when they actually go to work?

4. Having a friend to always depend on

When we go through life, it’s hard to depend on friends as you get older because you manage to grow apart, but they all managed to stay such good friends after 10 years.

5. Staying friends with your ex

The whole ‘Rachel and Ross’ thing was an eye roll after they had their baby emma, who was cute but even after a baby (A BABY) they still couldn’t decide if they wanted to be together.

6. Eating whatever they wanted and not gaining a pound.

Joey might have been the only one to put on some weight, but he’s still sexy so it doesn’t matter. I’m talking about how Monica is a cook and never gains a single thing. She actually gets hotter.

7. Still looking great after pregnancy

No mom, I’m not pregnant. Just saying.

8. Easily getting your dream job

We all WISH Gucci wanted us

9.Having a Winter Wonderland Wedding

We all know Pheobe had it made when the show ended. Paul Rudd AND a dream wedding

10. Having a pet monkey

I don’t even have a pet monkey and I already miss Marcel

11. Dating famous actors

Rachel just walked up to Jean-Claude Van Damme like it was nothing and OF COURSE, he asks her out.

12. Having a sense of adventure like Pheobe

Pheobe was by far the most intricate character and a little part of us wants to be like her.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
