6 Pennsylvania Colleges If They Were "Friends" Characters

"Friends" has been a popular show since the 1990s, and it has yet to simmer down. Friends is my personal favorite TV show; I had seen every episode an upward of 12 times before it came out on Netflix. I have grown to love these characters and wish they were my friends too. I am now a junior in college and I have been starting to notice some correlations between college and "Friends". I go to school in Pennsylvania, a state filled with colleges and universities, which give a variety of different lifestyles. PA schools would fit in great as a Friends cast so I decided to make it one.

1. Chandler Bing - West Chester University

I am going to start out with my favorite school and favorite character in the show. WCU is a school unlike any other. It gets underrated a little bit, similar to Chandler, but once you start to get to know them a whole new side comes out. West Chester and Chandler are both the jokers of the group; even with important events (i.e. Trump visiting, teachers striking, preachers harassing students) students at West Chester have a way of making a joke out of it.

2. Joey Tribbiani - Bloomsburg University

While Bloomsburg might lack some of the brains, they definitely make up for it in the party scene just like Joey. Joey is always down for anything whether it involves alcohol, food, or anything else really. If you ask a Bloom student to join you in something crazy, they will definitely be in. Joey and Bloom are both hard to hate- they stick to their own thing and they have a damn good time doing it.

3. Phoebe Buffay - Temple University

Phoebe has a very interesting past, she was homeless on the streets of New York City for a few years and would definitely be able to put up with Temples antics. She is quirky and peaceful but she still doesn't take shit from anyone, just like Temple. She walks to the beat of her own drum, dresses to express herself, and can sing and play the guitar and if that isn't Temple, I don't know what is.

4. Rachel Green - Penn State University

Penn State and Rachel are both fully aware that people do not like them sometimes, but they couldn't care less. They both tend to put a little more effort into their appearance and probably care about themselves more than the rest of them do. Even if appearance comes first, they are both there when you need them. Rachel is a great friend and Penn State does amazing charity work; both undeniable regardless of opinions.

5. Ross Geller - University of Pennsylvania

Ross and UPenn are the brains of the group. Ross is a paleontologist and professor with a PhD; the only people who would be interested in paleontology probably go to UPenn. They are the rationale of the group and also the most successful.

6. Monica Geller - Villanova University

Unfortunately nicknamed "Villanofun", both Villanova and Monica are the ones to bring the group back to reality. Monica and Villanova can be the sticklers and tend to stay to what they know; but when they let loose, they do it right (i.e. the night of the basketball championship).

PA is filled with schools that are perfect for everyone; these schools just so happen to be perfect for "Friends". I think it's time for all of us to have our own show now, too.

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.
