14 Life Lessons 'That '70s Show' Taught Us
IFC

“That ‘70s Show” introduced younger generations to exactly what it was like to live in the ‘70s. From getting high in The Circle to waging a war against disco, the miscreants of Point Place, Wisconsin often seemed like bad influences on the youths. However, underneath their high and childish exterior, the group of friends, along with the help of their parents, somehow summed up what life is like in eight seasons. So without further ado, here are fourteen lessons “That ‘70s Show” taught us.

1. Happiness is a relative term

2. Sometimes, it's okay to be as self-confident as Kelso

3. And Jackie

4. And especially Eric

If they taught us anything, it’s that it’s okay to feel yourself every now and then. Or every day.

5. Breaking the law is fine, so long as you don’t get caught

Listen, we all break the law every now and then. Whether it’s downloading music off the internet or making a U-turn when you’re not supposed to. Just make sure you’re smart about how you go about it.


6. Doing crafts is the only high you need

7. Never be afraid to ask the serious questions

8. If someone wrongs you, move on from it with grace and class

9. Always play it cool when you meet someone you're interested in

10. If there’s ever an issue you’re dealing with, make sure to take care of it like a responsible adult

11. But if you can't work things out, aggression is just as good

12. Growing up isn't all that it's cracked up to be

13. If your heart gets broken, work through the pain and always, always take the high road

When Jackie and Kelso broke up, Jackie dated Hyde. And then when they broke up, she dated Fez. I guess the moral of the story is, if you and your boyfriend break up, date their best friend instead.

14. Lastly, they taught us the most important lesson of all…

We all might be a little weird and life might get a little hard, but we might as well embrace it. After all, we’re all alright.

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.
