15 Reasons My So-Called Life Is Still Relevant to Your Life

For some reason, back to school season always reminds us of My So-Called Life, otherwise known as the angsty drama that launched Claire Danes's career. The show was only on for one season between 1994 and 1995, but it proved to be extremely influential. Almost anyone who has watched it can relate to Angela Chase (Danes) and her introspective attitude about high school. The character had a lot of great quotes about love and sex, but she also just had a unique perspective about life. Whether you watched the show when it was on or caught up with the DVD box set years later, you might relate to some of these life lessons My So-Called Life taught us all.
