46 Reasons Rachel Green Is Your Spirit Animal

It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Aniston turns 46 today. If I look like that when I turn 46, I’ll be very grateful…to my plastic surgeon. However she does it, Jennifer doesn’t look much older now than she did when she started playing everyone’s favorite waitress/fashion executive Rachel Green on “Friends” twenty years ago. So, in honor of the ageless wonder’s birthday, here are 46 reasons that she, as her alter ego Rachel, is our spirit animal.

1. She doesn’t take anyone’s shit.

 

2. Her bad days are just like ours.

 

3. She’s very sensitive.

 

4. She’s always in control of every situation.

 

5. Yet she doesn’t always make the best choices.

 

6. She gets really sad when margarita time is over.

 

7. She knows that it’s okay if someone doesn’t like her.

 

8. She’s an excellent chef.

20. No, really, she is.

 

21. She knows flattery will get you everywhere (and every thing).

23. She feels strongly about women’s rights.

 

24. She’s determined to be independent.

37. Even though she knows she should.

 

38. She never puts anyone down.

 

39. She thinks education is important.

 

40. She knows what holidays are really about.

 

41. She’s experienced a bad haircut, too.
