What Your Favorite Friends Character Says About You

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCF chapter.

Let’s face it, we’ve all seen every season of Friends and clap along to the theme song. Every one of us has a favorite character that we root for and that we connect to the most! But what does your favorite character say about you? Well, you’re about to find out (sorry, guys, Gunther’s not included, but he can just be everyone’s little ray of sunshine, okay?)!

Chandler: “Hi, I’m Chandler, I make jokes when I’m uncomfortable.” Could you BE any funnier?? You have a fun sense of humor, and that’s why people love being around you! Sure, you’re a tad sarcastic, but who else would say what everyone else is thinking if you weren’t there?? You want to do what you love, but you haven’t exactly found your niche yet. Don’t worry, it’ll come to you! You’re a loyal friend who will help anyone in need, as long as you get to make fun of them every now and then. Your love life involves very few partners, but you just want to take it slow and find someone you are really meant to be with!

Monica: “Was I cleaning in my sleep again??” Let’s face it, you’re a bit of a neat freak.What?? It’s natural! You might take it a little bit too far, but your friends will always come to you for help if they are ever knee deep in clothes around their room. You’re almost the mother figure of the group, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun yourself! You like dating, but you just want to find “The One” already. You are also a LITTLE competitive, but hey, who wants to lose?? You’re smart and dedicated, and kind of addicted to dessert foods. Crème Brulee?? You mean Crème Bru-YAY!

Rachel: “Well, excuse me, my fashion-impaired friends. I am here to tell you that hats are back!” Summer, Spring, Fall or Winter, it doesn’t matter the season! You know exactly what to wear, and you flaunt whatever style you decided that day. You are daddy’s little girl, but you are fighting your way to independence! You have so many things you want to do in life, and all you need is a little push. You are basically right ALL the time, and you are completely confident in yourself (as long as no one brings up what you looked like in high school)!

Joey: “How YOU doin’?? You know exactly what you want to do in life, and you won’t give up! You may not be the smartest one in your friends group, but that doesn’t bother you. You’re not a picky eater, which means you will seriously eat anything in sight (specifically sandwiches). You’re not really one for love, but if the right one comes along, you might give them a chance. You’re just having fun for the moment and that means dates, parties and having fun at work! Although you don’t care for relationships, you’re all about a good ol’ pet to keep you company! You have that one best friend that will do anything for you, and you know that if the situation presented itself, you would do the same.

Phoebe: “Smelly cat, Smelly cat, what are they feeding you…?” You’re a little “out there” in terms of personality, but everyone loves that quirky side of you! You’ve been through some tough times, but no one can tell because you like to stay positive. You have multiple talents, and you are equally skilled in each one! You do selfless acts for your not only your friends, but the people around you, because you know that’s just the right thing to do! If there was a stray cat roaming around the neighborhood, you would be the one to take it in, dress it in fun clothing and make three beds to make it comfortable. You know that when you find love, it will be when you’re not even looking!

Ross: “Y-O-U APOSTROPHE R-E MEANS YOU ARE! Y-O-U-R MEANS YOUR!” You’re the so called “smarty-pants” of the group! People may roll their eyes when you correct their grammar, but they love how intelligent you are! You have a hidden childish side that only your closest friends get to see, and you are very close to your family. You may hold a few grudges, but who doesn’t, right?? You haven’t had much luck in the love department, but you are a hopeless romantic that knows something great is about to come along.
