The Obsession With 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S'

The hit TV show "Friends" is one of those shows you can pick up and start watching from any episode of any season. It is guaranteed to brighten your day and make you laugh. The 10-year-running show is a classic that anyone can relate to because people are naturally drawn to the characters, so much so that you wish they were your actual friends. You know the obsession is real when you would rather watch "Friends" than actually hang out with your real friends at times.

Top 20 best "Friends" references:

1. Everybody has a lobster (Phoebe)

2. Yemen is a good place to escape unwanted girlfriends (Chandler)

3. Never use "we were on a break" as an excuse (Rachel & Ross)

4. Man bags aren't that manly (Joey)

5. "How you doin'" never fails (Joey)

6. Don't count "Mississippily" while in a tanning booth (Ross)

7. Never let it slip to a child that they are in fact adopted (Chandler)

10. There's no such thing as shark porn (Monica & Chandler)

11. Everyone has an identical hand twin (Joey)

12. When moving a couch, pivot! (Ross)

13. It is possible to drink a gallon of milk in 10 seconds (Joey)

14. Everyone is entitled to a "freebie" list of five celebrities they are allowed to sleep with

15. Never put your head in a turkey (Monica)

16. Quitting the gym is as hard as quitting the bank (Chandler)

17. A nap with your best friend might be the best nap you've ever taken (Joey & Ross)

18. If all the Santa Claus costumes are rented out, "holiday armadillo" is the next best option (Ross)

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.

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.
