"Supernatural" Applicable Life Lessons
Geek Insider

Sam and Dean Winchester, main characters of the popular television show "Supernatural," have been in some extremely bizarre predicaments as well as some that are totally relatable. With 10 seasons available to stream online and another one currently playing on TV, this show has a plethora of situations to watch and learn from. Some of them even have valuable life lessons that you can start applying!

1. B.Y.O.H.W.

Bring your own holy water. Anyone who has ever flown on a commercial plane understands the struggle of having to leave your beverage behind the security checkpoint and then paying ridiculous pricing for a soda once you're through. I can only image how much they would charge for a few ounces of holy water. Don't risk being caught off guard without it or, worse, having to buy the knock-off stuff.
2. Dental hygiene is very important.

Need I say more?

3. There is no such thing as too much salt.

Most people know to lock their doors, but too often do they forget to salt them too! In order to protect your home from spirits and other unwelcome supernatural creatures, be sure to salt all doors and windows. In fact, you may as well salt the entire perimeter of your house. (I'm actually surprised I haven't gotten in trouble for this one yet in college -- but at least no ghosts will be coming in my window!)

4. Food first, life-saving second.

Hey, if you don't have your strength and energy, what help are you really? Always fuel up before playing the superhero, and always take any opportunity to refuel.

5. College is expensive but not as expensive as making a deal at the crossroads.

Unless, of course, you paid your college tuition for a deal at the crossroads. In which case, you better make that degree go to use soon- tick tock, ten years on the clock!

6. The best cure for a hangover is time...


Or, if you're in a pinch, a greasy pork sandwich served up in a dirty ashtray should work just as well, according to the boys.

7. Confidence is key.

You have to love yourself before anyone else can love you! And if that fails, you know at least one person on this demon-infested planet likes you.

8. Driver picks the tunes.


I don't care if they've played "Carry On Wayward Son" 15 times in a row, the radio is under the control of the driver.

9. Sometimes it takes a few tries to be successful.

If at first you don't succeed, move on to Plan B. And then Plan C. Then Plan D? How many letters of the alphabet is considered acceptable to go through before it's time to call it quits?

10. Don't take life too seriously.

At the end of the day, we have a limited amount of time for all of our shenanigans in life. So it's important to just loosen up every now and again. Eat that apple pie. Ask that girl out. Or maybe something as simple as using your leg as an air guitar while "Eye of the Tiger" is playing.

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

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.
