Wikia

In the late 90s, MTV graced our televisions with the witty show "Daria." The basic plot of the show revolves around teenage Daria Morgendorffer, a smart and somewhat misanthropic girl. Throughout the show, Daria reacts to life at her high school while criticizing popular culture.

Even though "Daria" stopped airing in 2002, the show has survived through MTV on demand and social networks. Daria's words immortalized herself as a woman of knowledge. Here are 11 reasons why Daria is everything.

11. Daria had a way with her insults:

In a way, they were masked, but they really weren't. Her intellectual, witty remarks were like being educated by criticism.

10. Her angst was perfect:

Daria perfectly embodied an angsty high school girl. Her melancholy humor in a way resonated with people of the age, and still finds ways to relate to modern teens.

9. Daria often represented exactly how we felt:

Same, Daria, same.

8. Daria's phrases even resonate with college students:


Daria's remarks worked perfectly for high school, but some were so deep that they followed us to college.

7. Daria knew of the magical powers of pizza before it was cool:

It really is true, Pizza is always the answer.

6. Daria was funny without trying to be funny:

Daria's personality was rich, dark, and all around perfect.

5. Daria proved that the "odd" girl could still get the guys:

Daria reminded all girls that anyone could find love.

4. Daria got real and attacked conceptions:

Daria had a way of showing people what it was like to be a girl. She hit issues that people didn't really look at.

3. In a pessimistic way, she was a realist:

Life is what you make it, but no matter what there will be suckage.

2. Daria just didn't care:

Daria always stayed true to herself. She didn't care where and when. She did her.

1. We all wanted to be friends with someone like her:

Daria was interesting, creative, and entertaining. Who wouldn't want a friend like that?

Daria is one of those rare characters that gets to live on through the years by sheer popularity. Even though the show stopped airing in 2002, the show lives on through the fans. Daria's way of living and speaking is still relate able and will continue to be over the years to come. Hail Daria.

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.
