20 Times 'The West Wing' Was Too Funny And/Or Real
Warner Bros. Television

"The West Wing" ran on NBC from 1999-2006. It is honestly one of the best shows on Netflix, and everyone should watch it. It is a political drama, but it is full of amazing hysterical moments.

1. When in the first episode President Bartlet crashed his bike into a tree.

The whole series starts off with the senior staff of the white house had to deal with the President being in a bicycle accident.

2. When in the same episode, Sam tells his boss' daughter (Mallory) that he slept with a Call Girl.


3. Danny giving CJ a really thought-out gift, but the wrong kind.

Danny was hosting just trying to woo CJ and asked Josh what she likes. He obviously misunderstood.

4. When Josh told the press that the white house had a secret plan to fight inflation, all because CJ couldn't do the briefing.

It was hysterical and started a media frenzy that all happened because CJ had an emergency room canal.

5. When Toby came to visit CJ and she fell into a pool.

This episode was a flash back to see how everyone got involved in the Bartlet Campaign. This moment was gold.

6. When Josh found out he had "fans" who had a website dedicated to him, and he tried to interact with them.

His interaction turned his fan club against him. It confused him and led to this very accurate quote.

7. When Sam was getting whipped in a political debate by "Republican girl" Ainsley Hayes and he hoped Josh and Toby weren't watching, but they were.

This is one of my favorite moments in West Wing history. "Toby come quick Sam is his ass kicked by a girl." It was amazing.

8. Ainsley Hayes meeting the president while in her robe dancing

It was so awkward and funny. I identified so much with her in this scene. I also identify with this scene...

9. When Ainsley then gets a redo to meet the president, but freaks out and tries to go to the bathroom, but ends up in Leo's closet instead.

Literally me.

10. ANY TIME LORD MARBURY SHOWS UP AND CALLS LEO, GERALD

For some reason, this British drunk makes me laugh anytime he is on screen.

11. The turkey pardon that CJ was torn on, since she was given two to choose from, could only pick one and the other got eaten.

I mean, same President Bartlet. Same.

12. President Bartlet saying this to his wife after he won an argument.

Literally me anytime I win an argument.

13. When CJ was walking with Annabeth and made everyone laugh and make every tall person say "I relate."

The height distance is really unreal though, honestly.

14. When Leo really talked honestly about the debate in the meeting

That's politics sometimes... sadly.

15. Just this quote for Leo, no context needed.

16. When Leo would give his speech about Andrew Jackson and the reason behind Big Block of Cheese Day

17. The world map being inaccurate and making Josh and CJ question everything they know about life.

Honestly, though, this made me question everything I know about life too.

18. When Abby was real with CJ

Imagine one of the most powerful women in the world just asking you to go get drunk.

19. When Charlie had to give the President a wake-up call.

Waking up is hard, waking someone up is harder sometimes.

20. When Toby played a joke on Josh by paying a bunch of people to tell him they voted wrong

Josh became so worried and started freaking out.

These are only a few of my favorite. "West Wing" is one of the best shows, don't believe me, watch it yourself.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
