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?“

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
