3 Very Important Life Lessons from "The Regular Show"
Flickering Myth

After eight spectacular seasons of Cartoon Network’s “The Regular Show”, the show aired its tear-jerking finale this past Monday. Through the years, “The Regular Show” brought many laughs, colorful, unique characters, unusual scenarios and a truly artistic exterior.

But underneath that exterior and its general wackiness, “The Regular Show” had some very important life lessons that we could all take note of in our day to day lives. “The Regular Show” has taught us all three things:

1. Friendship is important.

The importance of friendship is mainly depicted through Mordecai and Rigby. For example, during one Christmas special, Rigby nearly faced death in order to be there for Mordecai as he was tackling Quillgin in order to save Christmas. Another great example of this was Pop’s sacrifice in the final episode. As he was laying down his life in order to save his friends and the entire universe, he told Mordecai and Rigby not to worry as this would be a “happy ending.”

2. Things won't always turn out the way you think it will, and that's fine.

Anyone who has watched the show knew that Mordecai had many relationship problems including Margaret and CJ. Everyone (including myself) was hoping Mordecai would end up with Margaret. But in the end, both Margaret and Mordecai led completely different lives. While it is unknown what officially happened with Margaret, Mordecai started pursuing his art full time and ended up marrying a lovely unnamed wolf lady (yeah I know it's kind of weird) I believe this gives a strong message to everyone that just because something good doesn't work out, doesn't mean something better isn't coming.

3. It's never too late.

One prime example of this is a Rigby finally finishing high school in the seventh season. (For those who don't know, Rigby was in his 20s when he finally finished.) While this teaches us that it is never too late to pursue your dreams, it also tells us “stay in school, kids”.

While “The Regular Show” was mainly considered a “kid’s show”, there were many teenagers and adults that were very fond of the show as well. A lot of people would often refer to it as “Seinfeld” for kids, which I can't say they're wrong.

I found it a bit painful to watch this incredible show come to an end, but I can look back and remember all the crazy moments and good morals that I will always remember from it.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
