This summer I discovered a new favorite show, "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt." I find the show incredibly hilarious, and, surprisingly, very relatable. But in between laughs, I’ve learned that Kimmy has taught me a lot of valuable life lessons. I’ve decided to share some of them with you.
1. Don’t live in a bunker.
Kimmy didn’t have a choice in this matter, but we do. We can choose to seclude ourselves from society in bunkers of our own making. Kimmy has definitely shown us the downside of that though. On the other hand, we can choose to interact with the world around us. I think we should all choose the latter.
2. Question what you’re taught.
While the Reverend’s motives weren’t necessarily because of his religion, he was preaching strange things to the girls in the bunker. The only one that consistently disagreed with the Reverend’s teachings was Kimmy. We should follow Kimmy’s example and question what we’re taught in order to see if we really believe it for ourselves.
6. Females are strong as... well, you know.
Seriously though, women, don't underestimate yourselves. Men, don't underestimate the women in your lives. It's just terrible either way.
These are just a few of the many wonderful things that Kimmy has taught me so far. And if you haven’t seen any of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, you should definitely get onto Netflix right now and watch it.
