10 "Friends" Quotes That Taught Us Something
Vox Culture

For those of you who have actually seen the show Friends, you are doing something right. For those that have not, it is now on Netflix. This show taught us so many things about life, from being on your own for the first time to the fact that three divorces happens (if you're Ross).

1. Having Siblings


"You fail at something so your sibling will look better in the eyes of your parents."

2. Breaking Up

"I am tired of being clobbered, it's just not worth it."

3. Keeping A Person Happy

"You want to make him fresh sandwiches everyday."

4. Marriage

"Look, I just think it's time for you to settle down, you know? Make a choice, pick a lane."

5. Falling In Love

"I just thought you guys were doing it. I didn't know you were in love."

6. Working Out

"I studied ka-ra-te for a long time, and there's a concept you should really be familiar with."

7. Death

"You know, I think my grandmother would be proud that we're trying to figure out her recipe. I'm sure she's looking up at us and smiling."

8. Traditions


"But you gotta have turkey on Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving with no turkey is like Fourth of July with no apple pie! Or Friday with no two pizzas."

9. Having A Kid

"Mon, what am I gonna do? It's been hours and it won't stop crying."

10. Saying Goodbye

"So if you think I didn't say goodbye to you because you don't mean as much to me as everybody else, you're wrong. It's because you mean more to me."

11. Being A True Friend

"That's right, I stepped up! She's my friend and she needed help. If I had to, I'd pee on any one of you."


The show, Friends, will forever be one of my favorites. It makes you laugh, cry, and truly feel the emotions of the characters on the show. It taught myself many things while growing up, but these are only a few of my favorites.

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.

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.

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.
