The 6 Most SLEPT ON Characters From 'Glee'

upload.wikimedia.org

Whether you liked it or not, I'm almost certain that you've seen an episode of Glee' and if you haven't, then I don't want to talk to you (#sorrynotsorry). If you haven't watched it yet, shameless plug: go stream all six seasons on Netflix right now while you're locked in your house with all the time in the world. #COVID_19binge

Without even watching the show, if you saw a picture of Cory Monteith, you would know he is from this iconic show. The same goes for Lea Michele and several other actors that played these angsty, musical teens.

'Glee' definitely had its memorable moments; it would be hard not to since it tackles just about every single obstacle in life. The range of situations matches the high caliber range of vocals and music selection. But, even wider than any of these, 'Glee' heavily varied in its character pool -- though some did not get the recognition they deserve.

Here they are!

Kitty Wilde

Kitty Wilde makes her appearance in season four and stays until the closing of the series. She embodies another one the stereotype blonde cheer girls that litter the halls of McKinley High. She is most noted in season four for being the "new" Quinn, but eventually becomes an unofficial "captain" of the glee club in season six. Her heart is as big as her ferocity and as big as her vocal capacity. But, I guess we'll never know since her solos were limited.

Sebastian Smythe

Since the show is all about teenagers, they really should have given this character more screen time. Scattered throughout the middle of the series, Sebastian embodies some quality competition, and he really serves as a symbol of teenage angst. He elevates the sexual tension, provides depth to the characters and story, AND he can sing! Why was he robbed of an opportunity to be a hit character?!

The McCarthy Twins

Mason and Madison are the first dynamic duo of the show without some major complex. Kurt and Blaine? The gay relationship. Rachel and Finn? The main relationship. Britney, Quinn, and Santana? The cheer triplets. Mason and Madison both have great vocals and great characters that are (almost) independent of one another -- they ARE twins! Mason definitely deserved better as the first male cheerleader of the glee club (aside from that brief moment when Mercedes and Blaine joined the Cheerios in season two). Sadly, we only see the twins for the SHORTEST season of the show.

Becky Jackson

She was hands down the funniest character of all. Yeah, she was rude and condescending, but we loved all of her xylophone temper tantrums. With sweet moments in her later seasons, every scene with Becky keeps you captivated. Also, the sweet dynamic between Sue and Becky provides a little bit of development for Sue, which can never hurt. And let's not forget her happily-ever-after with Darrell in season six.

Spencer Porter

Breaking the gay stereotype, Spencer gives the glee club a little breather. He definitely gets some highlight in the last season, but I wish we would have met him sooner. He definitely was no Kurt Hummel with a passion for singing and dancing, but he had other passions that were absolutely necessary for the glee club. He symbolizes the loyalty and commitment of the club that we watch through all six seasons. Season six takes a bowl and mixes Finn, Sam, Puck, and Blaine into it so that we can be blessed by Spencer Porter.

Santana Lopez

Now, all of these characters deserved better, but none of them - NONE - were as cheated as the Santana Lopez. Don't get me wrong, Miss Lopez gets more attention than any of the previously listed characters, but even that was not enough. Naya Rivera excellently plays this character, and she 100% worked to have the attention she did receive such as her wedding in season six and her emotional solo in season five, but we all know that Santana Lopez was the HBIC. Even of her attempts overthrow Rachel Berry could have EASILY been successful, but the producers could not have it that way. We pay our respects to our ancestor, Santana.

I grew up with these characters, and for the longest time, I refused to watch the last season because I could not stand it to be over. Alas, all good things have to come to an end. But next time, can we end things with the attention they deserve??

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
