What Boy Meets World Taught Us About Life

Sure, Boy Meets World was entertaining, but it also carried some really smart, insightful life lessons, too. Who could forget Mr. Feeny's wise words or the many ups and downs of Cory and Topanga, who set an example for true, lasting love? Thanks to new Girl Meets World set pictures and a very exciting photo of Rider Strong with the cast, we're anxiously awaiting the show's spinoff, and our interview with Ben Savage shed some light on what's to come with the new Disney show. We're more than ready to set our DVRs, but in the meantime, let's take a look back at some of the memorable, GIF-worthy life lessons we learned from Boy Meets World.
