Rachel Green's Guide To Life



Friends fans know that it's as impossible to go a week without referencing the TV cult phenomenon as it is to pivot a sofa in a too-small stairwell. And while not all of their antics have aged well, the gang of six did teach a few key life lessons - for a start, the importance of not wearing brand-new leather trousers on a date, and how to cure a jellyfish sting. We look to the friend who offered up inspiration beyond her trend-setting hairstyles. Take note of Rachel Green's most memorable moments and how you can benefit from them.


1. How To Know Your Own Identity

"It's like all my life everyone's told me, you're a shoe! You're a shoe! You're a shoe!... Well, what if I don't want to be a shoe? What if I wanna be a purse or a hat?"


2. How To Get Ahead

"Let me tell you about a couple of things I learned while working at the coffee house. First of all, the customer is always right. A smile goes a long way. And if anyone is ever rude to you: sneeze muffin."


3. How To Be Happy For Your Friends

"I'm 98% happy and 2% jealous."


4. How To Be Independent

"Well, maybe I don’t need your money. Wait. I said maybe."
