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.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
