Today, 21 years ago, Friends first aired on television which gave us the perfect excuse to look back on our favourite show and pick out a few snippets of wisdom. Here are the 10 things Friends taught us about life…
Friendship is very important
When you’ve got friends, you can get through pretty much anything. Group hug!
There is no such thing as a selfless good deed
If Phoebe Buffay can’t find one, nobody can.
You don’t have to have everything figured out by the time you’re 30
That goes for your personal and professional life.
Be careful who you choose as your roommate
Unless of course you like waking up to find someone staring at you.
Don’t trust strangers
A valuable lesson for all ages.
Always get a gift receipt
We pity the fool who doesn’t like a gift but can’t return it.
Dress appropriately
There’s nothing worse than being uncomfortable in your own clothes or stuck in a bathroom with your trousers down.
Secrets will eventually come out
Honesty IS best.
Follow the recipe
Our mams have been telling us this for years.
You never get over your lobster
They mate for life don’t you know?
Honourable mentions…
You have to have a regular coffee shop and you should never use “we were on a break” as an excuse
