The hit TV show, Modern Family, will bring out the best in you. It'll make you laugh, make you cry, give you a heart warming feeling, remind you how thankful you are of your family, and help you with the hardships of growing up. Although every character is lovable, no one beats Phil in the area of advice.

1. Always think inside the box.

His logic may not be completely wrong on this one...

2. Sometimes we expect too much out of each other and out of life.


It's good to sit back sometimes and appreciate the little things in life.

3. No one wants to accept change in life, but everything happens for a reason.

4. We don't always make the best decisions, but thank god some situations are reversible.

We shouldn't all go out and buy alpaca's now but you get the point.

5. It's always okay to reference Harry Potter in your everyday life.


6. Life can get you down time and time again but it's important to keep your head up.


7. Laughing at your own jokes is okay, even when they are terrible.

8. Believe it or not, this is an important skill to have.

I mean, you never know when you might run into Zac Efron and need to break free together.

9. Always do what makes you happy, even if society doesn't agree.

Who says you can't wear that? Who says you can't do that?

10. No caption needed.

11. Be confident in yourself, you'll achieve more than you think you can.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
