Sam and Dean Winchester, main characters of the popular television show "Supernatural," have been in some extremely bizarre predicaments as well as some that are totally relatable. With 10 seasons available to stream online and another one currently playing on TV, this show has a plethora of situations to watch and learn from. Some of them even have valuable life lessons that you can start applying!
1. B.Y.O.H.W.
Bring your own holy water. Anyone who has ever flown on a commercial plane understands the struggle of having to leave your beverage behind the security checkpoint and then paying ridiculous pricing for a soda once you're through. I can only image how much they would charge for a few ounces of holy water. Don't risk being caught off guard without it or, worse, having to buy the knock-off stuff.
2. Dental hygiene is very important.
Need I say more?
3. There is no such thing as too much salt.
Most people know to lock their doors, but too often do they forget to salt them too! In order to protect your home from spirits and other unwelcome supernatural creatures, be sure to salt all doors and windows. In fact, you may as well salt the entire perimeter of your house. (I'm actually surprised I haven't gotten in trouble for this one yet in college -- but at least no ghosts will be coming in my window!)
4. Food first, life-saving second.
Hey, if you don't have your strength and energy, what help are you really? Always fuel up before playing the superhero, and always take any opportunity to refuel.
5. College is expensive but not as expensive as making a deal at the crossroads.
Unless, of course, you paid your college tuition for a deal at the crossroads. In which case, you better make that degree go to use soon- tick tock, ten years on the clock!
6. The best cure for a hangover is time...
Or, if you're in a pinch, a greasy pork sandwich served up in a dirty ashtray should work just as well, according to the boys.
7. Confidence is key.
You have to love yourself before anyone else can love you! And if that fails, you know at least one person on this demon-infested planet likes you.
8. Driver picks the tunes.
I don't care if they've played "Carry On Wayward Son" 15 times in a row, the radio is under the control of the driver.
9. Sometimes it takes a few tries to be successful.
If at first you don't succeed, move on to Plan B. And then Plan C. Then Plan D? How many letters of the alphabet is considered acceptable to go through before it's time to call it quits?
10. Don't take life too seriously.
At the end of the day, we have a limited amount of time for all of our shenanigans in life. So it's important to just loosen up every now and again. Eat that apple pie. Ask that girl out. Or maybe something as simple as using your leg as an air guitar while "Eye of the Tiger" is playing.
