10 Life Lessons Burt Hummel Taught Us on "Glee"

I could name a million reasons why you should watch the television show “Glee”. There are amazing characters, entertaining dance scenes, great music and hilarious moments. But most of all, the times where Burt Hummel made us want to be a better person.

1. He showed us that nothing should stand in your way, not even society.

2. He taught us we should support those we love, even if it’s something you’ll need to work at.

3. He taught us that home is where the heart is.

4. He taught us that being different is a good thing, as long as you are being yourself.


5. He taught us the importance of equality in this world.

6. He taught us that there is no “right way” to do things, go out and start your own way.

7. He made us realize how important self-worth is.

8. He taught us that family is first.

9. He taught us to challenge ourselves, you never know what you'll succeed at.

10. He showed us how to grow as a person.

Before Kurt tells his father that he is gay, Burt catches him dancing to single ladies with two classmates. Burt was confused by it in the beginning, but years later Burt performs that exact routine for Kurt’s graduation gift. If that doesn’t show growth, I’m not sure what does.

Burt Hummel is easily one of the best TV dads out there.At first he was not sure how to adapt to the cards he was dealt, but instead of trying to change Kurt and his life, he chose to change himself for the better.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
