Every time I feel like I am not happy with where I am in life, I remind myself of how old were everybody on Friends when the show just started.

Most of them were 25 years old – like Monica, Rachel, and Joey. Some were even 26, like Ross and Chandler, and Phoebe was 27 or 28. So that means Rachel was around 27 was she quit being a waitress and started working in a job she actually liked, and most of the characters didn’t get into a serious relationship before they were 29 or 30. 

Being 25 and working at a job that is fun and related to what I studied in college while being in a loving relationship doesn’t feel so bad after getting some perspective. It also means that my personal Friends era has only just started.
