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.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
