Things I Will Miss About How I Met Your Mother

As you know the greatest comedy series, How I Met Your Mother is ending on Monday, March 31 with a 2 hour series finale. Now if you didn't know that, then I have one question for you, "Where have you been for the past 9 years, living under a rock?" or if you have just started it, that's okay I'll over look that lapse of judgement of starting so late. Anyway I have seen many blogs floating around that are describing things we'll miss or unforgettable moments from the series, but yet none of them seem to address everything I will miss, so here is my list of what I'll miss after HIMYM ends.

1.) First off, let me just state that it is really hard to explain what I will miss because there is so much that happened over 9 years and believe me it was a great 9 years. However, there is things that stand out to me but I think most of all I'm gonna miss the characters.

Ted Mosby played by Josh Radnor: He is the main character and the one telling his story. He is just such a romantic at heart that you can't help but feel for him!

Marshall Eriksen played by Jason Segal: Marshall is Ted's best friend and married to Lily. He is dedicated to being an environmental lawyer and makes sure to let you know he is a lawyer by lawyering you!

Robin Scherbatsky played by Cobie Smulders: She is the one that Ted thinks is the one, but for most the series Robin is a dedicated TV news journalist. She is quite the tomboy in a sense that she will drink Scotch, smoke a cigar and watch hockey; cause she's from Canada! Go Canucks!

Barney Stinson played by Neil Patrick Harris: Barney is a player in that he is always sharing stories with the group about his latest hookup and how he got them in bed. Most of his stories are extravagant and legend, wait for it and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the second half of this is, dary, LEGENDARY!

Lily Aldrin played by Alyson Hannigan: She is the wife of Marshall and best friends to Robin. Lily is the one that can't keep a secret but she means well. She is very determined in getting her way and she likes to meddle.

2.) They made it perfectly acceptable to chill inside of a bar at anytime of day, I mean ANY time of day! Sorry F.R.I.E.N.D.S but coffee shops aren't cool anymore. Seriously, though, seriously they were always in MacLaren's Pub... if only I could hang out in a bar that much  AND!!! Did you know it's based on a real pub called McGee's!? Well, you do now!

3.)The Slap Bet!! Probably the best bet ever to happen to mankind, no it IS the best bet to happen to mankind! When it all started and, the day they found out Robin was a Canadian teenage pop star! And sadly the last slap, Barney & Robin's wedding day.

4.) Robin Scherbatsky is a Canadian teenage pop star!! Her alias is Robin Sparkles and her songs are amazing. She also had her own show with her best friend, Jessica Beaver, nbd right!?

5.) Which leads us to all the songs! Most of the songs came from our very own Robin Sparkles but the Slap song and "bang bang bangity bang" just gets stuck in your head for days!

6.) Lily and Robin's friendship, though it was weird at times I want one just like it. Well, everyone's friendships but Lily and Robin's I felt got over looked sometimes. They were my favorite from the show.

7.) Robin's relationship with her co-worker Patrice. I think deep down she really liked her, I mean she was in her wedding for crying out loud! This is probably one of my favorite lines besides, "Lawyered" "You son of a bitch" and "Haaaave you met Ted".

8.) All the interventions...

9.) The General Knowledge or Corporal Punishment jokes by Ted and Robin.

10.) Their doppelgängers!

11.) Some of the best guest stars... Carrie Underwood, Katy Perry, Jennifer Morrison, Sarah Chalke, Britney Spears, Alexis Denisof, and Taran Killam.

12.) Ted, Marshall, and Lily's college years! Ted and Marshall became bros over The Proclaimers' 500 miles.

13.) Barney's LOVE for laser tag. He also caused me to appreciate laser tag more and just how much fun it actually is, thanks Barney Stinson.

14.) Lily and Marshall=the best couple I know! They even made it through a stabbing...

15.) All of Barney's challenges, whether they were meant to be a challenge or not.

16.) All of the little things that kept us laughing and made the show what it is; even the clues leading up to the mother! The Bro Code, the yellow umbrella, slapsgiving, the blue french horn...

Seriously the list could go on as to what I'm going to miss about How I Met Your Mother. Over the past 9 years we have all gained 5 new best friends that took us on many journeys and adventures whether they turned out bad or good it didn't matter. It made us laugh, cry or both at the same time that we looked so ugly trying to laugh as tears streamed down our face. There were some cliffhangers and some things didn't turn out the way we wanted but we eventually learned to accept it, like Robin ending up with Barney instead. I don't think I'm ever gonna get over that Carter and Craig, thanks! However, it is time for our 5 best friends to move on so that we too can move on. It won't be easy to say goodbye and it'll take me awhile to find something to fill that void of my favorite New Yorkers, they replaced those other 6 New Yorkers (I'm looking at you F.R.I.E.D.S. Today, we say goodbye to the best friends and the great 9 years we shared! You will be missed How I Met Your Mother!
