Maybe you grew up watching it. Maybe you binged it for three
weeks straight and ate it up like a kid in a candy store. Maybe a late night
search for something good on TV led you to a random episode. In whatever way
you’ve been exposed to the hit 2000s sitcom, Friends, you have undoubtedly been impacted for the better. Friends is the series that never gets
old, the show that people will never stop loving. Part of the reason it’s so
hard to give up on this American classic is the multitude of lifelong lessons
that were weaved in with the comedy. Under all the hilarious jokes about Ross’s
passion for dinosaurs or Joey’s obsession with meat subs are some important bits
of advice that help make reality a little easier. Stroll down memory lane and
remind yourself of some of the best things Friends
taught us throughout the years.
1. Joey doesn’t share food!
2. Thanksgiving is hands down the best holiday:
3. Tanning salons aren’t always your best bet, unless your goal is to look like an orange.
4. Learning French isn’t as hard as you think.
5. Body image is based on self-approval, no one else’s opinion.
6. We’re all mature until someone breaks out the bubble wrap
7. Master Unagi, and you’ll be set.
8. Oven mitts are a good idea when you’re cooking…
9. The pickup line that never gets old.
10. Ross never gave up on his musical dreams, and neither should you.
11. Leather pants are intended for college girls only.
12. Fashion advice can be taken too far, you’ve got to know your limits.
13. As much as we love people, we all need our alone space. Take the "hug and role" technique, for example.
14. When it seems like things just aren't going your way, remember even Ross gives up sometimes.
15. Ross is where we learned all the the best tips on how to be sassy.
16. We learned all the best mothering techniques from Monica.
17. “I’m fine” hardly ever means you’re good.
18. After three divorces, love is still possible.
19. There’s more than one way to flip someone off:
20. Phoebe showed us the real way to run.
21. When you can’t think of how to comfort someone, just whip up some sarcasm like Chandler.
22. Ross and Monica are sibling goals.
23. Rachel showed us that there’s never a bad time to order pizza.
24. Monica taught us how to rock dreadlocks.
25. The importance of being the first to call dibs was brought to us by Phoebe.
26. The best way to say great job is to take it from Chandler:
27. From all the window watching of creepy naked guy we learned that sometimes you just gotta be you, even if people are watching.
28. Phoebe also taught us the definition of being selfless when
she offered to give birth to her brother’s triplets (as weird as it was).
29. Chandler gave us hope that we all go through the same struggle to find love.
30. And even if times change and your friends go their separate ways, they’ll always be with you.
