3 Very Important Life Lessons from "The Regular Show"
Flickering Myth

After eight spectacular seasons of Cartoon Network’s “The Regular Show”, the show aired its tear-jerking finale this past Monday. Through the years, “The Regular Show” brought many laughs, colorful, unique characters, unusual scenarios and a truly artistic exterior.

But underneath that exterior and its general wackiness, “The Regular Show” had some very important life lessons that we could all take note of in our day to day lives. “The Regular Show” has taught us all three things:

1. Friendship is important.

The importance of friendship is mainly depicted through Mordecai and Rigby. For example, during one Christmas special, Rigby nearly faced death in order to be there for Mordecai as he was tackling Quillgin in order to save Christmas. Another great example of this was Pop’s sacrifice in the final episode. As he was laying down his life in order to save his friends and the entire universe, he told Mordecai and Rigby not to worry as this would be a “happy ending.”

2. Things won't always turn out the way you think it will, and that's fine.

Anyone who has watched the show knew that Mordecai had many relationship problems including Margaret and CJ. Everyone (including myself) was hoping Mordecai would end up with Margaret. But in the end, both Margaret and Mordecai led completely different lives. While it is unknown what officially happened with Margaret, Mordecai started pursuing his art full time and ended up marrying a lovely unnamed wolf lady (yeah I know it's kind of weird) I believe this gives a strong message to everyone that just because something good doesn't work out, doesn't mean something better isn't coming.

3. It's never too late.

One prime example of this is a Rigby finally finishing high school in the seventh season. (For those who don't know, Rigby was in his 20s when he finally finished.) While this teaches us that it is never too late to pursue your dreams, it also tells us “stay in school, kids”.

While “The Regular Show” was mainly considered a “kid’s show”, there were many teenagers and adults that were very fond of the show as well. A lot of people would often refer to it as “Seinfeld” for kids, which I can't say they're wrong.

I found it a bit painful to watch this incredible show come to an end, but I can look back and remember all the crazy moments and good morals that I will always remember from it.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
