24 Things I Learned From 'Friends'
buzzfeed

"Friends"is a story revolving around six 20-somethings trying to get their lives together in New York City. This TV show made a huge impact on millions of viewers worldwide and has taught many life lessons. "Friends" is more than just a TV show, it is a lifestyle. If you haven't watched "Friends" yet, I recommend you direct your attention towards Netflix and come back when you have finished the last episode of Season 10. In the meantime, for those who have binge watched "Friends" at least once here is a list of things I know we have all learned from this amazing TV show.

1. It's fine to watch TV in wedding dresses.


2. Sometimes you don't have to use words to communicate.

3. Wearing leather pants can be a bit messy.

4. Don't stress about the future, you don't always need a "plan."

5. Don't be afraid to express your true feelings.


6. Your friends are the family you choose.


7. The true meaning of "I think we should see other people"

8. How to get revenge, properly.

9. How not to run.

10. Goodbyes are the hardest.

11. Say the right name at your wedding.

12. Y-O-U- apostrophe-R-E means you are. Y-O-U-R means your.

13. "We were on a break!" Is never an acceptable excuse.

14. The person who is your total opposite will turn out to be your soul mate.

15. Everybody has a lobster.

16. "How you doin'" never fails.

17. Napping with your best friend may be the best nap you ever take.

18. A chick and duck make the best pets.

19. How to cure a jellyfish burn.

20. What a phalange is...

21. How not to dance.

22. It's ok for guys to take baths.

23. Know when to Pivot.

24. Some friendships last forever.

I will forever wish I was apart of this perfectly dysfunctional group of people, catch you all at Central Perk.

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.
