Life Lessons from The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
The Netflix original series The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt combines the writing talents of quick-witted Tina Fey and an endearing performance by Ellie Kemper as the show’s eponymous protagonist. The combination of smart and hilarious writing, lovable characters, and a killer theme song have captured viewers’ hearts and taught them a few lessons, too. Kimmy, who, along with a few other “mole women,” is rescued from a doomsday cult after 15 years in a bunker, ends up starting the next chapter of her life in New York. Though she struggles to find her way, she quickly makes friends and uses the survival skills she learned in the bunker to persevere through adversity. Here are some of the things we can all learn from (the unbreakable) Kimmy Schmidt.
1. Be confident in yourself even if it means being wrong sometimes.
- Always try to put a positive spin on things…
3. …but that doesn’t mean you can’t feel bad for yourself sometimes.
- If you’re really upset, there’s nothing like a smile to cheer you up. (Kimmying).
5. Don’t be afraid to be unique! You do you. (Pinot Nooooir)
6. It’s okay to be a little naive sometimes.
7. Don’t forget to appreciate the little things in life.
