Top 5 TV Girlfriends

And important relationship lessons we learned from them.

Top 5 TV Girlfriends

1. Christina Yang, 'Grey’s Anatomy'

Christina taught us to fight for whatever we want. If you are in a relationship that means something to you it won’t always be easy, and you will have to work for it. If anyone was willing to put in some elbow grease, it was Yang.

2. Rachel Greene, 'Friends'

Even though Ross and Rachel spent some time apart, it was an important lesson for us all. Sometimes you have to work on yourself before you can work on a relationship. Rachel understood that she was not ready to put her relationship first, so she decided to take a step back and do what she needed to do.

3. Emily Fields, 'Pretty Little Liars'

Emily taught us to be honest not just in our relationships, but also about our relationships. Emily was so confident with her S.O. that she was willing to fight for her, even when other people did not approve.

Emily, similarly, taught us unconditional love. Her feelings were not dependent on how someone else felt about her. Proof: Alison did not have to love Emily back to earn Emily’s love.

4. Leslie Knope, 'Parks and Recreation'

Leslie and Ben are equals, and there may not be a lesson anymore important than this. Relationships flourish when two parts of a whole work equally. Proof: when Leslie is put in the role of wife-of-the-candidate, she proves that in a partnership, one member never has to take the back burner.

5. Pam Beasley, 'The Office'

Pam was the ultimate girlfriend. Having a friendship with your S.O. brings a closeness and trust that is unique to BFFs. Pam mastered this with Jim because their friendship came first and they took it slow. Endless pranks on Dwight were not just for kicks and giggles, they made a stronger Pam and Jim.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
