11 Things "Will And Grace" Taught Me About Life
YouTube

"Will and Grace" is an iconic TV show from the late 90s and ran until 2006. It was recently revived in 2017, and I personally could not be more grateful. I have watched the show, off and on, for a handful of years when the reruns would come on, but I never understood it. It was just a show that was kind of funny and was on.

It wasn't until they announced the revival that I decided to binge the entire series, because that is what my generation does. My only regret is not watching the whole series sooner. I realized that "Will and Grace" are the "role models," one might say, of true friendship and how to have a fun life.

Here are 11 things Will, Grace, Karen and Jack taught me about life:


1. Sometimes, creativity is the only way to survive a long day.

Work can seem like it lasts forever, so why not eat a doughnut on a pencil? Provides a challenge of not dropping the donut and not getting your hands dirty when you're handling important papers.

2. The world is a confusing place.

The real world can be a confusing place. Remind me again why there is no instruction manual?

3. Dating can be a real tear-jerker.

With all the dating apps that are out there, they really can take a hit on your self-esteem.

4. When someone is rude to you, just shake it off.

Drama from people who barely hold a small candle in your future are not worth the issues they throw at you.

5. Honesty is the best policy.

If you are not honest with yourself, you can not be honest with anyone else.

6. Healthy coping skills are super important.

Stress eating and sad eating are in no one's best interest.

7. Knowing how to shut down naysayers is also super important.

8. Labels do not define you.

Be you and be proud!

9. Life is short, so be spontaneous

If this means random dance parties in your apartment, do it.

10. Staying angry doesn't match you.

Let things roll off of you because half of the time it is not as important as you think it is.

11. Friends are the most important thing you have.

Without them, you would not be where you are today. Cherish them.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
