11 Best Ross Geller F*ck-Ups

After months of losing sleep, procrastinating homework, and experiencing emotional ups and downs, I finally finished all ten seasons of "Friends." Despite my quick recovery of now moving onto "How I Met Your Mother" (I highly recommend), having spent so much time with Monica, Chandler, Phoebe, Joey, Rachel, and Ross, I feel it is only appropriate that I dedicate this piece to being a compiled list of some of the my favorite moments: Ross's biggest f*ck-ups.

"Doctor" Ross Geller is the sweet, goofy, dinosaur-loving, divorce-prone loser that we all love. However, for anyone who has seen the show, we can all agree that he sometimes (most of the time) makes questionable decisions.

1. The One Where Ross Sleeps With Another Girl

Season 3, Episode 15

I don't care how many times Ross screams "WE WERE ON A BREAK!" Moments after Rachel decides that she and Ross should take some time apart, he sleeps with Copy Girl. Furthermore, he runs across the city, tracking down everyone who could possibly know, to keep the secret from her... only to find that Gunther already told.

2. The One Where Ross Says the Wrong Name

Season 5, Episode 1

Clearly still in love with Rachel, Ross accidentally says her name instead of Emily's, his fiancé at the time and now second divorced wife.

3. The One Where Ross Blows Up Over a Sandwich

Season 5 Episode 9

After yelling at a coworker over eating his leftover Thanksgiving sandwich (to be honest, I'd be pretty upset too), Ross is sent to therapy and placed on sabbatical.

4. The One Where Ross Wears Leather Pants

Season 5, Episode 11

Deciding to wear leather pants on his date, Ross excuses himself to the bathroom to take them off after overheating. However, after realizing that they shrunk and he can no longer pull them up, he turns to lotion and baby powder to help... It didn't.

5. The One Where Ross Won't Divorce Rachel

Season 6, Episode 3

Refusing to get a third divorce, Ross lies to Rachel that he "took care of it," only for her to find out later that they're still married.

6. The One Where Ross Has a British Accent

Season 6, Episode 4

Nervous to impress his students, Ross began his class with a (the phoniest sounding) British accent, and was then forced to continue it.

7. The One Where Ross Whitens His Teeth

Season 6, Episode 8

Trying to impress his date for the night, Ross leaves whitening strips on for too long, making his teeth glow-in-the-dark.

8. The One Where Ross Wants to Attack Women

Season 6, Episode 17

Trying to prove that Rachel and Phoebe do not have "Unagi" like he does, Ross seeks advice from their self defense instructor on how to attack women. Not the way to go...

9. The One Where Ross Tries to Bang His Cousin

Season 7, Episode 19

After Monica realizes that Chandler is infatuated with her cousin, she sends her to stay with Ross. However, Monica's idea backfired as Ross found himself convinced that his cousin was sending him "signals." No, Ross. That's your cousin.

10. The One Where Ross Gets a Spray Tan

Season 10, Episode 3

Unable to count to five seconds properly (NOT WITH THE "MISSISSIPPI'S"), Ross finds himself with the worst tans lines in history.

11. The One Where Ross Kissed His Sister

Season 10, Episode 11

Thinking it was Rachel, Ross kissed Monica at a college party years ago. Yep, he was her "midnight mystery man."

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.

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.
