10 Things I Learned From Full House

Everyone loves a good family show that always seems to have a new problem in each episode that somehow magically gets fixed within 30 minutes… If only actual problems could be solved that easily, am I right? Full House is a prime example of a family show. It teaches you how to treat others, life lessons, and most importantly it teaches you family. Who knew a house in the San Francisco suburbs could hold nine people and a dog (we can’t forget about Comet), but who knew this house could juggle all the ups and downs that life brings. Full House will be a show that I’ll show my kids, for it taught me so many things, but the most important lessons I learned are the ones below.

1. Your siblings are your best friends

Even though a lot of the time you wish you were an only child, and you might fight constantly, Full House taught us that your siblings are always there for you. Through every boy who didn’t think you were pretty enough (their loss because you’re gorgeous), every time you get grounded, or just when you’re feeling down, your siblings are always there to pick up the pieces. You might feel like you hate them from time to time, but in the end they’re your biggest supporter!


2. Being a neat freak really isn't a bad quality

Danny had a set cleaning schedule, and even had the family clean the chimney… But then again, are we surprised? Not if you remember the Tanner Family motto that Danny taught Michelle: “Clean good, dirt bad.” Full House taught me that everyone is unique, and you shouldn’t judge people for that; you should embrace it! After all, isn’t that why you loved the person in the first place?


3. What it means to have the ultimate best friend

And no I don't mean Gia.Kimmy basically was a Tanner; walked into the house uninvited, ate their food without permission, and even made herself welcome on family trips. While being polar opposites Kimmy was what we all strive to have in a best friend. Someone's who's there no matter what fight you have, is outgoing, and treats your family as if it's her own.


4. How to cope with your best friend moving

As much as you want to cram yourself into their suitcase and tag along for the ride, inevitably you just can't go. Goodbye is hard, and yes you will cry. But you always have the memories, and you can always keep in touch. It will seem as if you’ve lost your other half, but just know they are only a phone call or FaceTime away.


5. Practice really does make perfect

You can't expect an A on a test without any effort, or to make a sports team without preparing for the tryouts. Girl Talk certainly underestimated the amount of practice they needed to perform the song "I saw the sign". What happened next? Major embarrassment, that we probably shouldn’t relive, but if we had to you know just the typical knocking the mic stand over, singing different verses, need I go on?


6. The struggle of having a roommate

“Honey, it’s just like having a sleepover.” “Yeah, with one person, who never leaves.” When you can’t handle the thought of having your little sister move into your room with you, you must come up with a way out. So you just move into the bathroom! Well… until Dad finds out that is.


7. A hug is the solution to any argument

If you’ve ever watched an episode of Full House you know this statement to be completely true. No matter what the circumstance is, a hug is always the solution in the Tanner household.


8. When having a boyfriend make sure you make time for your friends

Don't hang out with him 24/7 and exclude the people that have been there from the beginning. Don’t accuse your friends of being jealous of your relationship when they get upset that you never come around anymore. Let it be a wake-up call. And especially don't celebrate your anniversary over your best friend's birthday...


9. Elvis was/is the King of Rock & Roll

This one explains itself. All I've got to say is, "Thank you, thank you very much."


10. Losing a parent is one of the most devastating things

Cherish your friends and family, because they can be taken from you in the blink of an eye. And the people who step up and help out when life throws you a curve; well those are the people that really matter. Having a dad, an Uncle Jesse, and a Joey isn't the worst thing in the world. Actually, it’s pretty cool!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
