5 Reasons We All Love FRIENDS

FRIENDS has captured the hearts of so many people around the globe. Weather you relate to Joey who loves food and women, Monica who loves to clean, Ross who's just a little bit nerdy, Phoebe who's a little quirky, Chandler who is funny and inappropriate, or Rachel who just quite doesn't get it sometimes, there is something in the show for everyone. Even year later after the series has completed it's still trending on Netflix and re-runs air of T.V. because it is still so popular. Here are some of the reasons why the show is still adored.

1. It's relatable

Whether it's a breakup, work issue, crappy waitress jobs, or money trouble, you can bet we have all been there. FRIENDS does a terrific job relating to all of us personally because they go through every situation in the book. If we haven't been through it, eventually we will and FRIENDS will be there to help us along the way.

2. It's hilarious

If you're in a bad mood, this should be your go to on Netflix! Even if the episode has a more serious tone, there is bound to be some ridiculous yet hysterical Chandler joke in there somewhere.

3. The real situations

Much like #1, this show appeals to our lives. The issues they put into the series are not made up, they're 100% real! Although this show wasn't intended for college students, in my opinion it speaks to them the most. They have crazy roommates, move to new cities, have no money, have jobs they don't like, and most of all the drama!

4. The adventure

Now most of the time, the group stays in New York. but they do have some pretty amazing adventures along the way. From Ross and Emily's Wedding disaster in London, to Rachel almost moving to Paris, Chandler fake leaving for Yemen, all the way to Chandler and Joey chasing after baby Ben right in the city. The show is FULL of excitement and adventure. You just never know what they will get into next!

5. The love

This reason is perhaps the most important! LOVE, something we all want and need. Each episode explodes with love, even if it's not the romantic kind, but the kind that each character has for the other. FRIENDS pulls on our heartstrings each time Ross and Rachel breakup and then get back together, and each time all the characters come together and show us the love they all share and compassion that comes with it.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
