The 1986 classic written and directed by John Hughes is an inspiration to everyone. "Ferris Beuller's Day Off" taught me about the reality of high school, relationships, and the crippling anxiety life gives you. This semi-satirical listicle is full of some of my favorite FBDO moments that taught me amazing life lessons.
Don't let your fears consume you and inhibit you from having a fulfilling life:
How to pretend to be sick and actually fool somebody
What high school actually is
Nobody can be liked by everyone, not even Ferris Bueller
How to be classy as heck
Don't break into a house a Rottweiler lives in
If you're going away to college soon, that doesn't have to ruin your relationship
Life doesn't have to be school, school, school, work, work, work; that's not a good way to live
How you can create your own diamond
Hair is obviously the best pencil storage
How to properly catch an intruder
And what to do when you find the intruder
You should take control of your own life
How to roll my eyes like a queen
And finally, it's okay to take a day (or nine) off
