10 Things I've Learned From FNL

Here are some life lessons I've learned from watching Friday Night Lights:

1. No matter how badly you are losing, you can always come back to win in the last 30 seconds of the game.... every time.

2. Whenever you have a conflict with someone, no matter what the nature of your relationship is, you should always tell them, "I love you more than anything on this earth."

3. The Car Salesman is essential to the decision-making power structure of any town.

4. It's perfectly normal to go a whole day without knowing that your Abercrombie flannel has been unbuttoned and falling completely off one shoulder.

5. Arguing with your spouse can be fun if you make it sound a little flirty.

6. Kids can successfully raise themselves, run a household, and sometimes care for incapacitated adults without any assistance.

7. If you need a job badly enough, someone will always hire you (regardless of the lack of demand for the job or your lack of qualifications for the job) at the local highschool or car lot.

8. Football games are only 5 minutes long and action-packed.

9. In Texas your hair can stay wet for 24 hours at a time, if you really want it to.

10. I'm mysteriously craving.... Applebees.

12. High schoolers are comfortable with sex and their own sexuality. High school sex is passionate and awkwardness-free and everyone always knows what s/he is doing.
