What Friends Taught Me

I want a family like them

Most people either love the show and watched it a million times or have heard it and watch it every now and then. Meet the show's six main characters that, despite having their own unique qualities, make up one huge family.

1) Monica

Monica took one of her older friends Rachel in after she left her husband at the altar. Monica was always caring and there when her friends needed her. She was almost like a mom at some points. She had major OCD, which made us laugh with certain situations. Monica taught us though that it is okay to take control of your life and always have a plan. She also showed us that you can fall in love with your best friend.

2) Chandler

Chandler was always the funny one. He was always the awkward one with girls because he did not believe in himself enough and most of us can relate to that. The thing that we learned from him though is that it is okay to laugh at yourself in uncomfortable situations. For him it was making a stupid joke that ended up being something that was not as funny as it really seemed.

3) Phoebe

Phoebe had a rough life growing up and somehow came out on top with her life. She had some of the best advice, she always found a way to help the less fortunate in some way and to me that was pretty amazing. Phoebe was a little crazy but she helped us realize that thats something to embrace because in the end she always got what she wanted.

4) Joey

Joey was a ladies man. He got all the girls but never could keep a solid relationship and that I never really understood. Joey also loved food. Anything about it would make him happy. He could eat all day all the time no matter how much he had already scarfed down. The one thing though that I loved about Joey was that no matter how tough he acted he did have a sensitive side. He cared for his friends and their happiness and he never wanted that to change.

5) Rachel

Rachel is from a rich family. She never had to worry about money or anything adult like until one day she did one of the hardest things anyone can do and decided to be her own person. Rachel grew up fast and worked really hard to get where she was in life. She got a very big job from just knowing a lot about fashion without going to school, which not many people could accomplish. She was brave and courageous and did everything she could to shows that sometimes you have to stand by what you believe in.

6) Ross

Ross was the nerd of the show. He also had a rough love life. He was never afraid though to show people his inner nerd because he knew that he was smart enough that no one could tell him different. With the ladies though he had some trouble because in the end the only person that he loved was Rachel.

Through the ten seasons of the show each character taught us something about life and they each had something about themselves that we could relate too.

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.

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.
