'Friends' Is The Best Because It Is The Definition Of Happiness

I wish I was living in the 90s sipping coffee with Monica, Phoebe, and Rachel.

We all have our favorite shows, right?

For a lot of my friends, it is either "Grey's Anatomy," "Riverdale," "The Walking Dead" or any other pretty modern TV shows.

But, for me, I wish I was living in the 90s sipping coffee with Monica, Phoebe and Rachel on the show "Friends."

I have been watching "Friends" since Nick at Nite when I was 11 years old thanks to an old friend introducing it to me, and honestly...life has never been the same since.

Watching "Friends" is just so easy. I know everything about every single episode. I can quote them, and I still want to keep watching them.

I have my favorite seasons and characters, and my least favorites (*cough cough* Emily). I feel as if I am part of the group, too.

I was born in 1998, so technically, I’m not a true 90s baby, but this show brings me serious nostalgia. I would have loved to really experience the 90s just by watching this show over and over.

(Yes, I know. This is not what the 90s were really like, and this show is extremely unrealistic, just let me live this way OK?)

To me, TV shows today are made nothing like "Friends" was. They now have to have a lot of drama and cliffhangers, whereas "Friends" did have its occasional drama (For sure on Rachel’s side with the whole ‘break’ thing), but they focused on comedy and one-liners.

I’m pretty sure my sarcasm is solely born from Chandler Bing.

I’m not the biggest TV person, but this show, in particular, has brought me so many years and will continue to bring so many years of happiness.

So thank you, Rachel, Monica, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross for always being there for me (get it?).

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.
