In this article, I've decided to list the important lessons Glee has left behind in my heart, as well as in the hearts of the many "Gleeks" still out there.

Always follow your dreams

Giphy

Ever since the first episode, Glee has been teaching us about following our dreams. No matter what gets in the way, you should always go after them.

Learn to be accepting of others

The Glee cast consisted of a variety of backgrounds, and the casting director did this on purpose. They used this continually to teach us to be accepting of others.

Learn to be accepting of yourself

Another thing Glee has always been good at is teaching us to accept who we are and the feelings we have.

Life is tough, but it gets better

Life is hard. Things happen that make you feel like there's no point anymore, but it always gets better. Glee shows us that even after the hardest trials, you can come out on top.

Be Kind

Giphy

Although Rachel wanted so much for her life, she also wanted everything for Finn. She was so kind and did as much as she could for him.

Be careful with what you say

Giphy

Remember when Fin called Kurt's lamp faggy? Or when he called Sue's baby retarded? Just because he had the freedom to say those words, doesn't mean he should. Words hurt people and sometimes, they cut deeper than knives.

Believe in yourself

Confidence is so important. Believing in yourself is the key to acheiving your dreams.

Labels are just labels

Never let labels define who you really are.

You can never dream to big

Rachel started so low and ended up on Broadway winning a Tony. Everyone told her that she would never make it there, but she worked hard and got herself there.

Never forget to be who you are

Be who you are. Never forget that. When you finally learn to love who you are, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
