9 Reasons Why Daria Is A Relatable Character

The animated series Daria first aired on MTV in 1997 and lasted for five seasons until 2002. The series was centered around the life of a sarcastic, smart, and somewhat antisocial girl named Daria Morgendorffer as she navigated through life as a high school student at Lawndale High School.

The series was edgy, and featured a subculture that often wasn't explored on television. Daria was definitely a relatable character and a great show. Here are some reasons why:

1. She hated high school just as much as the rest of us

Ah, high school. Such a confusing and awkward time for many of us. Although it had its high points I think that most of us are glad that stage is over with.

2. She understood how exhausting life could be

As college students, we understand the importance and greatness of naps and sleep in general. Daria totally got that.

3. She knew the importance of friendship

Daria's adventures wouldn't be the same without her best friend, Jane Lane. Jane and Daria are definitely one of the best dynamic duos of all time.

4. She was the queen of sarcasm

Sometimes the only good response is a sarcastic one and Daria was amazing at that.

5. She was not fond of corny pick-up lines

Who responds well to these?

6. She was okay with not fitting in

Most of us know how it feels when you don't really fit in. Daria didn't mind not fitting in and she stayed true to herself no matter what.

7. She appreciated relationships

Although her relationship with Tom had a weird start, throughout the series you can see their relationship blossom. The two were practically polar opposites but they came together to make something great.

8. She was realistic and practical

She saw the flaws in society's standards and was realistic enough to defy them. She marched to the beat of her own drum.

9. Sometimes she just didn't want to be bothered

We all know what it feels like when you just want to be left alone but can't seem to find any alone time.

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.
