Will I survive?

On Coping With The Ending Of 'Friends' Reruns
Wallpaper Cave

I came to college with a brand new Netflix account and with the intent of finding the best show on earth. I wanted a show that would motivate me to get through my homework. I wanted a show that I was addicted to and could never stop watching. After trying a bunch of shows, I stumbled upon "Friends." The first couple episodes were decent and I decided that I would keep watching to see if it got interesting.

As you can probably tell from my article title, I am on the 10th and last season of Friends, 3 months into college. And no, I do not regret spending my free time watching the show I love. It makes me cry tears of laughter when I am sad, it comforts me when I am in a bad mood, and it is my crutch.

I am currently on Season 10 Episode 13, but by the time you are reading this, I will most likely have finished the show. I also will most definitely have cried during the last couple episodes knowing that one of the greatest shows created has ended.

I have compiled a list of thoughts I have had during this season so far. Here they are:

1. Maybe Friends ending is a good thing?


2. What am I going to do now?

3. Is there a show that is going to be better than this one?

4. Should I just keep re-watching Friends for the rest of my life?


5. Will I be emotionally upset after I finish it?


6. Should I just delete Netflix?


7. Should I a buy a ridiculous number of Friends posters and cover every inch of my dorm room with them to cope?


8. Am I going to have to interact with people more? Do I have to?

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
