Remember that pithy ’90s cartoon about sarcastic teenager Daria Morgendorffer and the trials she faced while traversing high school and the rest of the sick, sad world?
MTV’s “Daria”—which ran for five seasons—was a hilarious, and often honest look at the transition from teen to young adult.

Take a look as Daria and her friends say what we’re all thinking as they navigate the ins and outs of everyday life.
