It’s been over ten years since we all watched the last episode of our favorite TV show, Friends. Despite it being one of the funniest and most entertaining shows ever, it has taught us some very important life lessons. In honor of all ten seasons coming to Netflix for us to watch starting January 1, 2015 (no, this is not a joke), I have put together a list of some of the most valuable messages we can learn from our beloved Friends characters!
1. Dance like no one is watching.
2. Run like no one is watching either.
3. The “real world” after college is very real…and scary.
You actually might have to cut up Daddy’s credit cards!
4. How to spell correctly.
It’s important.
5. Don’t fall asleep in the sand…
…Unless you want to end up looking like this.
6. Your lobster is out there.
Lobsters fall in love and mate for life.
7. The “hug and roll” technique.
When you need a little extra space in bed, try this. Hug for her, roll for you. Problem solved.
8. Say the right name at your wedding.
Seriously, don’t invite your ex to your wedding. More importantly, don’t say their name at the altar.
9. It’s easier to get out of things than you think.
10. There are seven erogenous zones.
All right. You could, uh, start out with a little 1, a 2, a 1-2-3, a 3, a 5, a 4, a 3-2, 2, a 2-4-6, 2-4-6, 4, 2, 2, 4-7, 5-7, 6-7, 7… 7… 7… 7 7 7 7 7 7… seven.
11. Things change. People change.
12. Don’t leave the whitening gel on your teeth for too long.
Who has a black light in 1999?!
13. Don’t hide being in a relationship from your friends.
They’re going to find out eventually, or in some cases, play the “they don’t know we know they know we know” card. Watch out!
14. What to do when you’re unemployed…
15. Make sure that a “break” means the same thing to both of you.
16. DO NOT wear leather on a first date.
17. DO count Mississippi-lessly when getting a spray tan.
Or else you’ll end up looking like this.
18. “How you doin?” is the ultimate pick up line.
19. Measure your couch before you try to carry it upstairs.
PIVOT!
20. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas? Or not…
When you’re married in Vegas you’re married…everywhere.
21. Hug it out!
22. Love is more important than a job.
