On September 14, The Golden Girls celebrated 31 years since the launch of the pilot episode: “The Engagement”. The half-hour sitcom starred Bea Arthur, Rue McClanahan, Betty White, and Estelle Getty, and the theme song expressed the adventures of these 4 women perfectly in only 42 seconds. In honor of this, here are 7 life lessons, both serious and humorous, we all learned from Dorothy, Blanche, Rose, and Sophia!
1.) Differences are a good thing.
2.) Laugher is necessary.
Even though these women were often dealing with the stresses of life, they always found time to laugh at themselves and others. Whether it was Rose’s latest St. Olaf story or Blanche's latest dating adventure, these ladies always knew how to have a good laugh!
3.) Be confident!
Perhaps the best example of confidence on this show was Blanche. Blanche exemplified confidence in almost everything she did, and she knew how to own it. Channel your inner Blanche and be confident in your abilities.
4.) When working out your outfit is as important as the
workout itself.
5.) You’re never too old to rock a red dress!
6.) True friends stand by your side no matter what happens.
7.) When all else fails, eat cheesecake.
Simply put, there is only one way to conclude this: Thank you for being a friend.
