So watching this programme from an early age has given me some expectations in life, some possible, some not so much, but i would still like to believe will happen to me.
Here they are, 10 things that Friends has taught me:
1) No matter what your job is, you can always afford an appartment in Manhattan:
Whether I decide to be a chef, waitress or struggling actor i now know thanks to Friends that i can afford a pretty decent flat in the middle of new york.
Great news for me seeing as im already a struggling waitress, can't cook or act, theres hope for me yet.
2) Within a group of mixed boy and girl friends its inevitable that you will hook up with at least one of them:
Believe me, this is true. No more of an explanation is needed...
3) Theres always a weird friend:
Now in FRIENDS the weird one is Pheobe, always saying strange things, getting herself in strange situations etc etc. I myself, am this "weird friend" in the group, i found this out mainly when watching friends and seeing all of Phoebe's antics and realising they all made sense to me.
Also found this out when answering the question "who's the weirdest out of us?" with "I don't think there is one."
If you don't think theres one, its because its you.
BOOM life lesson.
4) Never marry a doctor:
is it just me or does most of the failed relationships in friends involve a man who is a doctor? Rachel and Barry...he was a doctor of teeth.
Monica and Richard...he was a doctor of eyes.
Maybe its just being a doctor of a specific area of the face, but now, i seem to have a fear of face doctors in relationships. If ever any of my friends was to say that they are going out with a doctor of noses for example, I would automatically think it would end in her being heartbroken or her climbing out a bathroom window on her wedding day.
5) You can leave doors unlocked at all times:
Seeing as they're all such good friends and live right next to each other, this makes it ok not to lock they're front doors. Note to self: As much as I like to think i do, I do not live in a sitcom, I live in a town known for burglaries and the occasional murder. I must lock the door.
6) Never wear the same outfit more than once:
In all of the 10 seasons im pretty sure than the girls never wore the same item of clothing twice. This is a rule i have carried forward into to short adult life. Every time I go out, i feel the need to buy an entirely different outfit, for fear of my social peers realising that I wore the same outfit to your mums, dogs, aunty's
birthday or whatever. So, thanks to friends i am now constantly poor. But I'm not hostile, due to fact that in my twisted mind, i have convinced myself that is it better to be poor than to look cheap.
7) An on/off relationship always works out in the end:
I am yet to find out if this is true or not, seeing as most of my on/off relationships from the past are permanently stuck on the off switch.(and some of them want to keep them that way) In a way I like to believe that this is true. Although, and here's some relationship advice coming right at ya... don't get caught up in this idea. Don't wait for people who simply don't care about you. I'm a strong believer in everything happens for a reason, and sometimes there is a big fat reason why that person is no longer in your life...because he's a dick. Shit just got reeeeeal.
8) Its ok to write stupid songs:
All my life I have liked to (believe that I could) sing. And being the "I believe therefore I can" person that I am I have even tried my hand a a spot of songwriting. There is a reason why my song "my combine harvester is newer than yours" (a comeback to The Wurzels classic) is not on the radio 1 playlist. Its because I'm terrible at it. However, If Phoebe has taught me anything, it is that you shouldn't to care about what others think, if you enjoy something, do it. Even if your crap at it. So in honor of this, the next thing I'm going to try out is some Latino rapping...move aside Pitbull. Alfregaaa
9) Dancing in a Fountain is Glamorous:
I bet it is, when its in New York, and your getting paid millions to do it. But trying to recreate it when your 13 years old in an inflatable paddling pool at the bottom of your garden, is beyond glamorous.
10) Whats a kind of boat that can never ever sink?... A Friend Ship.
