13 Reasons Why Jeff Atkins Deserved Better

Everyone loves the hunky, dreamy baseball player from Liberty High School. Unfortunately, he had a terrible death that was not his fault. Jeff was a great asset to the show and here are "13 Reasons Why" Jeff Atkins deserved a better life.

1. He was a great ballplayer

2. He cared about his grades

To play baseball he had to keep his grades up. He got the help that he knew he needed.

3. He was a great wing man

Clay tutors Jeff in school, but Jeff tutors Clay in life. Jeff pushed Clay out of his comfort zone, especially with girls, especially with Hannah.

4. He cared about his family

When Clay went to Jeff's parent's house, his parents bragged about how much he loved his family and playing baseball.

5. He was Clay's only real friend

When no one was there besides Hannah and Hannah wasn't ever really there for Clay? Jeff was by his side and being his friend. He took a freshman under his upperclassman wing.

6. He was caught up in all of the drama

There was no reason for him to die besides all of the school drama that started when the picture let out of Hannah, leading back to Bryce.

7. His looks. (Come on I had to say it)

Who would want that handsome face off the screen?

8. He was reassuring

When going on the beer run he was very reassuring to Clay that he wasn't drunk and could drive. H wasn't driving under the influence even though it really looked like he did.

9. He is the only student-athlete on the team that isn't a total scumbag

Jeff really didn't hang out with the other guys at school. He cared about people's lives and wanted to help them.

10. The dance between Hannah and Clay would have never happened


Jeff pushed Clay to get out of his little bubble and go dance with Hannah and ultimately have a great night.

11. He helped Clay fill out the dollar valentine

(Hannah was at the top of his list, if only we knew who was at the top of Hannah's.)

12. His death impacted Clay more than people realize

Clay lost 2 really good friends throughout High School. When Jeff died, Hannah tried to comfort him but he didn't want any part of it. He avoided a lot of people.

13. Jeff's death wasn't his fault

Some silly girls that may or may not have drank too much, and didn't know what to do in a tough situation were ultimately a part of the reason for Jeff's death. If that stop sign wasn't knocked down than Jeff would have a much better chance at life.

All in all, Jeff was a great character to on the show and had a lot of meaning to it that most people overlook. Rest in Peace Jeff Atkins!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
