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!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
