10 British Shows Which Perfectly Rival American Shows
Wikia

1. Made in Chelsea vs Keeping Up With the Kardashians

Both about the rich elite in big cities of the world, these two shows are comparable in the reality studies of the ridiculous luxury of the most wealthy families in the world.

2. Geordie Shore vs Jersey Shore

If you liked Jersey Shore, and are missing getting to know a gang of delinquents, head on over to Geordie Shore, where young Englishfolk try to be just as trashy and just as entertaining.

3. The Inbetweeners (British original version) vs The Inbetweeners USA

If you watched the Inbetweeners USA and liked it, I'm judging you, and if you didn't, go and watch the original English version which contains all the attitude needed for the dry jokes that the script of this British treasure demands.

4. Skins vs 90210

Drama, drugs, and death. Skins is the unwashed and less sunkissed version of 90210. You will be hooked by the second episode, and will be a slave to the show for an entire 7 seasons, so go start that binge-watch.

5. Luther vs Dexter

Luther is more human than Dexter - still a pretty messed up guy, but definitely more relatable. He solves crime while being pretty immoral himself.

6. Game of Thrones vs unjustifiable comparisons

I'm not going to even try comparing Game of Thrones to anything.

7. Peaky Blinders vs Sons of Anarchy

Not set in the same time, but the violence of Sons of Anarchy is paralleled by that in Peaky Blinders. It's a period drama, and FYI, you Americans may need some subtitles to understand those sexy accents.

8. This is England vs That 70's Show

VASTLY different shows, but set in a similar time period, which goes to show the British teenage angst in all its glory compared with the happy-go-lucky attitude of America.

9. The Jeremy Kyle Show vs Dr Phill

A similar show, with paler faces, and horrible teeth. Great late night entertainment for the whole family.

10. Misfits vs Smallville

Two shows full of magic and superheroes, but Misfits is a little more rough-and-ready, including more sex, more laughs, and a more addictive nature.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
