Imaginary friend

Title A buzz word in society in more recent years has been “community.” We’ve been told that a healthy lifestyle involves community and requires relationship. The television show, Friends points to society’s hunger for this. The show is centered around a group of friends who all live together and share life with each other, on every level. Initially none of the guys or the girls in the group are dating each other, but that quickly changes with the emerging love story of Ross and Rachel and…

I was walking with my friend to class when it happen. Before it happened, I noticed that I had seen no teachers or adults for that matter in the halls. When it happened, there was the sound of a large crash and the whole building shook like there was huge earthquake just under Badger. What happened? At first, I had no idea what happened until I looked out the window then I saw it. A huge glass dome had covered the entire school. Floods of students like moths to light ran outside to see what had…

some old friend’s house first and that was the worst part of the trip for me. When we were 20 minutes away my father said “We are going to Rick’s house first to visit them for the meantime, and then we’re going to the buffet restaurant to meet old friends for dinner.” When we arrived, my parents talked to them about the last years they hadn't seen each other and all that kind…

or the movie of the popular girl in school that every guy is in love with or every girl wants to be. In elementary school, it seemed that’s all, the little girls I grew up with, based their lives off of. Not me. Although the idea of having lots of friends and many guys wanting to go out with you seemed great;…

success in the future. I study hard now so that I can get accepted to the university of my dreams. I am now aware that my goals will not be achieved if my work ethic is weak. Staying up all night to grasp a concept or passing up going out with my friends to study may get me one step closer to where I envision myself to be in the future, and it is a sacrifice I am willing to…

into the people we will become; these people are called friends. They bring a lifetime of irreplaceable laughter and sadness that one could not live without. The situational comedy, Friends, gave viewers in the 1990s an image of “true” friendship. Set in New York, Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Joey (Matt Leblanc), Chandler (Matthew Perry), Ross (David Schwimmer), and Monica (Courteney Cox Arquette) are a group of six friends that go through situations of everyday life together…

analogy I think associated with this is the snake in the grass. This “is someone who pretends to be your friend while secretly things to harm you” (Thefreedictionary.com). At one point or another in life, we lose a friend, it might be due to loss of communication, death, or it might be because they turn out to be as fraudulent as snakes are made to be in the previous analogy. Losing a friend can be emotionally taxing even if we find out they are spurious people. It can seem to be the lowest…

fun of me, eating more of my food than I did and teasing me by saying I was bribing them instead of having friends to spend my monopoly money on. We sat at a table in the food court area of the Grille talking about various random topics like friends. When I reminded them that I’m not supposed to be just a friend figure to them, one of the girls piped up and suggested “what about best friends?” I was both flattered and humored as another one of the girls genuinely thought that the name of my role…

starred in the first episode of Friends. More than ten years later, Lily, Marshall, Ted, Barney, and Robin starred in the first episode of a show about a man telling his kids about how he met their mother. Both shows are situational comedies set in New York City. The shows both star a group of white, twenty-something year old adults trying to make it in the city. Monica played by the wonderful Courtney Cox, is the nurturing and controlling “mother figure” of the Friends’ friend group. She is a…

Making a million friends is not a miracle. The miracle is to make a friend who will stand with you when millions are against you, and Clay and Austen are exactly that. One of my best friends is Clay Girard. Some of his hobbies is to play his XBOX 1. He plays it a tremendously a big amount. When me and some friends come over we always play Halo. He is probably the best player in the county, and top ten in the state. Clay also likes to read. The books he reads are mostly huge but he reads…
