How to Be Like Monica Gellar

The 90's sensation sitcom "Friends" took America by storm with over 10 seasons. But what would the witty one-liners and touching blossoming romances be without the classic characters that we've come to love? One of the most quirky of said persona's has to be Ross' younger sister, best friend to Rachael, ex-roommate to Phoebe and wife to Chandler, Monica's over compulsive habits are what make her so unique!

Steps

1. 1
   Decide which of her great traits you'd like to evoke. Is it her impeccable cleanliness? Or her professional cheffing skills? Or her incredible packing addiction? Whichever the Monic moments you admire, start by assessing some of the more "kooky" ones.
2. 2
   Make a huge body change! Everyone knows Monica used to be a pudgy child and not always the slim seductress she is now. Between a love for puzzles and an obsession with food, she didn't keep in shape. But after meeting her brother's roommate in college, one of his comments telling her she should be a chef hurt her enough to motivate her to not only self correction and her new career path.
3. 3
   On that note, work on your cheffing skills! Start from the bottom rung of the ladder and work your way up to head chef at a hip restaurant (Alessandro's) in downtown New York.
4. 4
   Monica has black long hair.
5. 5
   Learn to love your label maker! Monica has labels for everything, and everything has a place and it needs to go there.
6. 6
   Your new mantra is how to make the world a cleaner place. You should have a solution to every stain and products to clean everything. Make sure not to skimp on car cleaning: even if you don't have a car!!
7. 7
   Live to lead! Your way IS the way. And the only other way IS the highway.
8. 8
   Be competitive! If you aren't a winner, you're doing something wrong. Remember that "rules control the fun!" And since you always win, you'd be willing to gamble anything. Say, even your apartment?
9. 9
   Keep an eye on strange men. Old pals of your father, your brother's roommate, or even a strange millionaire who chooses to harass you. Remember, Monica doesn't believe in soul mates.

Tips

• If you aren't thin or popular right now, DON'T WORRY! Neither was Monica, but she eventually did something about it and made things happen for herself. She also was without a job for a good while and cut her ego and borrowed from her brother to make ends meet.
• Remember that even Monica isn't perfect (though she'll never admit otherwise). She has her faults too: her ideals in the stock market are less than ideal, her massages inflict pain, and not everyone understands her neurotic habits.

Warnings

• The world does not come with a soundtrack: do not be so cruel that only a laugh track would right you.
• Many people do not understand little things that just have to be done "that way." Expect criticism.
