Why Your Friend Group Is Actually The Cast of "Friends"

My friends are the rock in my life. They are the ones who pick me up when all I want to do is fall back down. The ones who are there for me when I need someone to vent to at 3 AM, after I've been cramming for organic chemistry and no longer think I am cut out for real life. The ones who will get out of bed to pick me up in the middle of the night because I “just can't" anymore. They know my worst habits and my favorite things, right down to my morning workout and my Chipotle order. Together, we're a family.Individually, well, we have our quirks.

Whether you've realized it or not, every friend group you've been a part of has similar characteristics to the cast of “Friends." If you've ever been asked what your best friend or roommate is like, then you know what I'm talking about: “they're just them." Your friend group lives in your own little reality TV show, and here is the cast.


The Chandler.
He feels a little hopeless about his love life at times, because no matter what, it always seems to bring him right back the point of no return. Ahem, Janice. Or maybe it's because everyone thinks he's playing for the “other team." I have faith in the Chandler of your group. His soul mate is out there somewhere.


The Ross.
Let's face it; historical facts don't make the greatest catch phrases. Unless you're referencing Florida State football winning streaks, that is. He's a bit of a nerd, but he's the nerd you love, and who everyone counts on during a game of Trivia Crack. And hey, everyone needs a sensitive shoulder to lean on when they lose a bowl game every once in a while. Just brace yourself for the moment he starts venting about something irrelevant (and hope to God he doesn't have a monkey).


The Rachel.
She's like your freshman roommate. In some cases, she might be you. She didn't know how to do her own laundry the first time you met her, but she's come a long way since then. She is confident about taking on her own responsibilities (with your help, of course) and will speak her mind, no matter how sassy it comes out of her mouth. * CAUTION: should not be allowed to make independent decisions. *


The Monica.
“Clean freak" is an understatement. Even comparing her to my mother is an understatement. This friend believes that there is a place for everything and a job for everyone. It's simple: rules control the fun. Even though things must be a certain way for her, she is always willing to change her plans for a friend. Plus, you always know who to go to when you're planning a party, or even just craving good food. She is your ideal roommate if you're one to leave out the Pokey Stix you carried home from the night before. Where did my mess go?


The Joey.
Did someone say food? I won't even pretend to understand what is going on in this guy's mind. Give him the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition and a six-pack of Coors Light and he is set. He's like a grown up frat guy. There really isn't much more to him, ladies. Don't overwhelm yourselves.


The Phoebe.
Nature lover, friend of the animals, I guess you could call her today's ideal hipster. She is probably the friend with tapestries hanging all over her room and a dusty guitar sitting in the corner left for whenever she feels like playing the latest rendition of “Smelly Cat." She'll do whatever she wants to just because she can, and never fails to show her friends her good heart.


The Janice.
She just may have evolved into today's basic sorority girl. But we're not all basic, OMG.


Your friends might be crazy, but they have been there through thick and thin. They are a blessing that are given to you throughout your life; the ones who came, and never left your side.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
