Life According to "Rick And Morty"
Adult Swim

Rick And Morty is an adult sitcom created by Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland. The irreverent comedy centers around a drunk, mad scientist that brings his grandson on his sci-fi adventures. The show's crazy plot lines and witty dialogue provide 20 minutes of non-stop hilarity. The brilliant team behind the series, produced for Adult Swim, creates a dialogue that is both clever and deeply insightful. Apart from the ever entertaining back-and-forth's between Rick and Morty there are episodes where the characters give a little insight to life. In an impatient wait for the release of the third season, I give you life lessons from Rick And Morty.

1.

“I know new situations can be intimidating. You’re looking around and it’s all scary and different. But you know, meeting them head on, charging right into them like a bull… that’s how we grow as people”

2.

“After your father’s brush with cancer and losing your uncle we looked at life and wondered how have we spent it? And how do we spend the rest of it? What are we going to be when we die? A list of fear and questions or a collection of real experiences?”

3.

“Beth, having a family doesn’t mean you stop being an individual. You know the best thing you can do for people that depend on you? Be honest with them; even if it means set them free.”

4.

“The most important love you can receive is from yourself.“

5.

“We all have bad impulses, bad thoughts, but we just need to learn how to channel them into something constructive. “

6.

“You know, Jerry, I’m not gonna tell you that these’ll increase in value or even hold their current value. The truth is you bought them because you like them; they have value to you. That’s what matters.”

7.

“I know you’re scared, because I’m scared. But that's no reason to accept our fate. We are Mortys, we’re not defined by our relationships to Rick. Our destiny is our own!”

8.

“Don’t run. Nobody exists on purpose. Nobody belongs anywhere. Everybody's gonna die. Come watch TV?“

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. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. 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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
