“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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
