14 Life Lessons 'That '70s Show' Taught Us
IFC

“That ‘70s Show” introduced younger generations to exactly what it was like to live in the ‘70s. From getting high in The Circle to waging a war against disco, the miscreants of Point Place, Wisconsin often seemed like bad influences on the youths. However, underneath their high and childish exterior, the group of friends, along with the help of their parents, somehow summed up what life is like in eight seasons. So without further ado, here are fourteen lessons “That ‘70s Show” taught us.

1. Happiness is a relative term

2. Sometimes, it's okay to be as self-confident as Kelso

3. And Jackie

4. And especially Eric

If they taught us anything, it’s that it’s okay to feel yourself every now and then. Or every day.

5. Breaking the law is fine, so long as you don’t get caught

Listen, we all break the law every now and then. Whether it’s downloading music off the internet or making a U-turn when you’re not supposed to. Just make sure you’re smart about how you go about it.


6. Doing crafts is the only high you need

7. Never be afraid to ask the serious questions

8. If someone wrongs you, move on from it with grace and class

9. Always play it cool when you meet someone you're interested in

10. If there’s ever an issue you’re dealing with, make sure to take care of it like a responsible adult

11. But if you can't work things out, aggression is just as good

12. Growing up isn't all that it's cracked up to be

13. If your heart gets broken, work through the pain and always, always take the high road

When Jackie and Kelso broke up, Jackie dated Hyde. And then when they broke up, she dated Fez. I guess the moral of the story is, if you and your boyfriend break up, date their best friend instead.

14. Lastly, they taught us the most important lesson of all…

We all might be a little weird and life might get a little hard, but we might as well embrace it. After all, we’re all alright.

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?
