    Outlander Life Lessons From Season One

    Last Saturday's episode of Outlander, To Ransom A Man's Soul, marked the end of season one of Outlander. It's been one heck of a ride. Let's pause a moment and reflect on some Outlander Life Lessons.

    When the going gets tough, the tough get drinking.

    Some things in life you shouldn't have to be sober for.

    Even the best guys pull a really dick move from time to time.

    I mean, sheesh Jamie, give a girl a bit more of a warning!

    Pants are not needed to kick the crap out of someone.

    However, a great pair of boots do come in handy. (Not to mention some awesome legs *wink, wink*.)

    There are things in life that you just can't unsee.

    Diana Gabaldon is as awesome in the 18th century as she is in the 21st.

    Seriously...she's pretty fierce. I love her and am scared of her at the same time.

    It's not the size of your shinty stick but how you use it that counts.

    That's all I've got to say about that...

    Even the unpleasant things can be fun if you have friends with you.

    Just...uh...be sure to wash your hands (possibly with bleach) when you're done. If the hand-washing aspect applies to all your experiences with your friends, you may want to re-evaluate your friendships.

    The simplest touch can have an extremely meaningful effect.

    It can have the most heart-pounding-want-to-kiss-you-then-rip-your-clothes-off effect. What? You thought it too.

    There is, in fact, a difference between going "to bed" or "to sleep".

    Well, Jamie, since you asked....

    Just this....

    The only thing this really taught us is what a lucky duck Claire/Cait is. Let's just take a few moments to enjoy this GIF.

    The wanting DOES NOT ever stop.

    In fact, I believe it actually gets a bit worse with time. (...or maybe that's just me...)

    Shooting blanks IS hazardous for your health.

    What? I thought that was funny. Sorry, my inner 13-year-old speaks out from time to time. Side note: Jamie's face is total melt-worthy material.

    Sometimes you just gotta slap a bitch.

    We all have Laoghaires in our lives and they only seem to learn things the hard way.

    We all have scars and that's okay.

    If only we could wear them as well as Jamie does.

    Lying is bad. You will always be found out.

    Basically, if you don't want to end up at a...um...barbecue, just avoid lying (and poisoning and stealing and...you get the idea...).

    Ah...in-laws...making you feel like crap since you said "I do".

    You should always look before you put things in your mouth.

    *Snort*...that's what she said. Sorry, inner 13-year-old again. Can't seem to help herself when JAMMF is involved.

    Love at first sight is real!

    Yes, I am aware that I am using an example of fictional characters from a time-travel novel.

    Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

    I love you, Murtagh. I'm just saying I don't think you'd get past the audition on So You Think You Can Dance.

    Sometimes only a profanity will do.

    I rarely swear, but there are times when nothing else will suffice. (Sorry, Mom.)

    Everyone needs a good partner in crime.

    Thanks to Rupert and Angus, we've been reminded how valuable it is that someone have your back. I love these guys!

    With enough determination, hope, and love, the broken can be put back together.

    I think the last couple of episodes left all of us in pieces at one point or another. May we all find a Jamie or Claire in our lives that we have that someone to fight for us and help put us back together.

    What an awesome first season. We only have to wait a year until the next one.

    Wait...a year?!
