The inclusion of the word 'way" in this context is slang.
Seriously is an adverb and is correct usage here because it describes how you take -verb-
Serious is,on the other hand an adjective and as such can only be used to describe a noun.
viz- a serious misdemeanor.
a serious breach of trust.
Hence correct English would determine you writing the sentence as:
You take life far too seriously

Your best choice is 'you take life too seriously'
It must be SERIOUSLY as you need an adverb here and not the adjective.

save it hassle-free and boil it down. Use the previous hassle-free quite of a suitable annoying and ditch the preposition on the tip of the sentence. Your sentence isn't incorrect, even nevertheless it would desire to be stronger. I forgot to put in all the polite stuff that usually starts or ends an digital mail. I forgot to apply all the polite stuff that usually starts or ends an digital mail. I forgot to apply the polite stuff that usually starts or ends an digital mail.

As a teacher, I have to answer this. You need to use the adverb seriously.

Yes..."seriously" is correct, as it modifies "take". "Way" is okay, though quite informal, as a modifier for seriously.
