Everything you need to know about life, you can learn from streaming television. Truth.
A binge-worthy 13 episodes and non-stop buzz made Orange Is the New Black the hot show of summer. But don't fret -- whether you've watched the entire series on repeat or haven't caught a single episode, everyone can take away a life lesson from the Netflix hit.
At its bare bones, OITNB follows the story of Piper Chapman, a self-centered 30-something facing a 15-month stint in jail for a crime she committed years ago. The first season follows Chapman's initial journey into the land of imprisoned ladies. Though fans are eagerly awaiting season two, there's plenty to learn about life from the beginning of the series.
Lessons include tips on how to thwart potential killers and the simple joy of a Twix bar. OITNB offers an essential list of things to remember -- even if you're not looking at 15 to life.
