10 Times Hank Moody Spoke Undeniable Wisdom

Hank Moody is a washed up author that hasn't penned a word in years. He's plagued by his vices: sex, drugs, alcohol and his self hatred for screwing it up with Karen, the mother of his child. It might look like his life is spiraling out of control, but Hank has seen it all. Not only is he wise, his way with words allows him to deliver his message with poetic prowess.

1) "Teenage girls are greatly overrated."


Who can argue with that?

2) "Whatever you do, don't be another brick in the wall."

Hank Moody was a lot of things, but unoriginal was certainly not one of them.

3) "It's a big, bad world full of twists and turns, and people have a way of blinking and missing the moment, the moment that could have changed everything."

Well I'm ever blinking again.

4) "There's no time like the present."

True that, brotha.

5) "Who says we have to be realistic?"

Who likes the real world anyways?

6) "Things fall apart. They break. That's life."

Everyone takes a little fixin'.

7) "There's no life without love- not one worth having, anyway."

Because if you didn't root for Karen and Hank, you have no heart.

8) "The key is to get to know people and trust them to be who they are. Instead, we trust them to be who we want them to be- and when they're not, we cry."

Hank has certainly shown us that trying to change people can be difficult.

9) "It's possible that longing for something is better than actually having it. I've heard it said that satisfaction is the death of desire."

He even makes depressing things sound good.

10) "Check yourself before you riggity wreck yourself.


Couldn't have said it better myself, Hank.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
