The 'Always Sunny in Philadelphia' Characters Should Be Your Role Models

Mac, Charlie, Dennis, Dee, and Frank are the main characters of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," in case you are unfamiliar with the show. Each character brings such morally inspiring aspects to the show, making them vital in creating such an artfully developed show. They refer to themselves as "the gang," creating a care-free, 50's era atmosphere that brings simplicity and joy to its' viewers.

To enlighten you with just how genuinely kind these characters are, let me provide specific examples that demonstrate this quality.

Season two takes off by demonstrating their sense of wisdom when Dennis and Dee decide they need to go on welfare. Frank, Mac, and Charlie choose to fire Dennis and Dee (a very difficult decision for them) and Dennis and Dee go to file for welfare because they are obviously not capable to acquire any other jobs.

To successfully obtain welfare, they decided to try crack, so as to pose as crack addicts who needed welfare. While trying to do this, they accidentally missed their doctor's appointment and got legitimately addicted to crack. Now if that isn't something to look up to, then I'm not sure what is. The next time you find yourself unemployed, just get addicted to crack, as that is the most moral solution to that problem.

Perhaps the most seemingly tender character would be Dennis Reynolds. The way he treats women is absolutely heart-warming. He even creates a system to ensure that he treats women with the up-most respect. The system is as follows:

D-demonstrate value

E-engage physically

N-nurture dependence

N-neglect emotionally

I-inspire hope

S-separate entirely

Thus forming the D.E.N.N.I.S. System. Each step is crafted so articulately, so as to reach his desired outcome...which would be respecting women.

Sweet Dee is nicknamed so because of her kind, mother-like qualities. Her most kind moment has to have been when she made a priest fall in love with her (so as to get him to bless the gang's bar to get money) and when he left the church to live a life with her, she told him she did not love him.

From there, his life spiraled out of control as he was now homeless and jobless. He quickly became a drug-addict who lived on the streets. Essentially ruining his life, Sweet Dee made a wonderful impact on him. She selflessly professed her (fake) love for him, and then quickly denied him. Her sense of fierce and passionate love for others is mesmerizing.

If you've ever watched this show, you are aware of how to live your life in a loving, meaningful way. This show basically gives you guidelines of how to live your life. So, if getting addicted to crack, using women, and ruining people's lives doesn't sound fulfilling or inspiring, then you should probably re-think your values.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
