In this article, I've decided to list the important lessons Glee has left behind in my heart, as well as in the hearts of the many "Gleeks" still out there.

Always follow your dreams

Giphy

Ever since the first episode, Glee has been teaching us about following our dreams. No matter what gets in the way, you should always go after them.

Learn to be accepting of others

The Glee cast consisted of a variety of backgrounds, and the casting director did this on purpose. They used this continually to teach us to be accepting of others.

Learn to be accepting of yourself

Another thing Glee has always been good at is teaching us to accept who we are and the feelings we have.

Life is tough, but it gets better

Life is hard. Things happen that make you feel like there's no point anymore, but it always gets better. Glee shows us that even after the hardest trials, you can come out on top.

Be Kind

Giphy

Although Rachel wanted so much for her life, she also wanted everything for Finn. She was so kind and did as much as she could for him.

Be careful with what you say

Remember when Fin called Kurt's lamp faggy? Or when he called Sue's baby retarded? Just because he had the freedom to say those words, doesn't mean he should. Words hurt people and sometimes, they cut deeper than knives.

Believe in yourself

Confidence is so important. Believing in yourself is the key to acheiving your dreams.

Labels are just labels

Never let labels define who you really are.

You can never dream to big

Rachel started so low and ended up on Broadway winning a Tony. Everyone told her that she would never make it there, but she worked hard and got herself there.

Never forget to be who you are

Be who you are. Never forget that. When you finally learn to love who you are, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
