If you have ever watched "The Middle" that is on Freeform every weekday afternoon, you know that they are a dysfunctional family. The Hecks have taught me a lot of things, but are all completely different people. You've got Mike who has no feelings, Frankie who is overwhelmed with everything, Axl who is like every other annoying teen-aged boy, Brick who is the genius and a socially awkward 13 year old, and lastly, Sue. Sue Heck is an awkward, weird, interesting, smart, friendly, nice, kind of annoying, individual. Her character, though, has made me realize that I want to be more like her. Not necessarily as awkward, clumsy, or dorky as the character, but, to not care about what other people think or say about you, while also being a caring and loving individual. So, here's how to be more like Sue and live a Sue Heck life:

Be nice to everyone

Plaster encouraging posters everywhere, and actually do what they say

Be funny...even if you don't realize you're being funny

Keep up with your grades and aim to be successful

Be optimistic

Become involved

Find your partner in crime

Love your parents...

...While also loving your annoying siblings

Just be you. No matter how awkward that may be

Of course you'll have bad days, but you'll get through it!

I guess you could say that Sue Heck is actually your average teen just trying to get through life and all of its struggles. Her personality and outlook embodies everything we love in a TV show character, but also everything we should want for ourselves. We should always try to make the best of every awkward situation, love our family (even when they're pissing us off to no end), and try our hardest to succeed at what we love most. So thank you, Sue Heck, for reminding me of a pretty great way to live life while giving me endless entertainment.
