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.

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.

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.
