Revivals are in, but some of them aren't the best. In order to help all those network executives and showrunners out there as they start to pitch new show ideas, here's a list of 23 shows that need to be brought back.

1. The Office

I'm looking at you Steve Carell.

2. Friday Night Lights

The world needs more Coach and Tami…and Tim Riggins…and QB 1 Matt Saracen.

3. Boy Meets World

Don't get me wrong, Girl Meets World was a great show, but it was much more immature than the original.

4. My Name Is Earl

Still not over that cliffhanger.

5. Batman

I'm talking about the 1960s series with Adam West. Yes, there's been plenty of installments honoring the best superhero out there, but nothing quite like the original series.

6. New Girl

I don't care if it just ended, I want more.

7. Friends

I will stop asking for a reboot once we get one.

8. Baby Daddy

One of Freeform's better comedies, but gone too soon.

9. Recovery Road

This Freeform show only got one season and I'm still not over it.

10. Red Band Society

Again gone too soon.

11. Firefly

"It was one of the best sci-fi ever made." - My Father

12. The West Wing

"Nobody beats President Bartlet." - My Mother

13. One Tree Hill

I've never seen it…but everyone I talked to seemed very passionate about this.

14. Chuck

"Bring back Chuck, everyone loves Chuck." - My Brother

15. Drake and Josh

Imagine a version of Drake and Josh where the humor has grown up with the viewers; you know you want it.

16. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody

After a hiatus, Dylan and Cole are back and I'm loving it.

17. Greek

They got my hopes up with talks of a made-for-TV movie, only to break my heart again when the deal fell through.

18. Psych

One of the best detectives shows out there, well at least according to me.

19. Monk

The first mystery/detective show I fell in love with!

20. Gilmore Girls

A Year in the Life was amazing, but I still want MORE!

21. Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Okay so I just finished binging The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and I enjoyed it, but it's a 100% new take on the series. It doesn't fill the Sabrina and Harvey sized gap left in my heart. Also, Salem needs to talk again.

22. Seinfeld

So they can fix the ending.

23. How I Met Your Mother

So they can fix the ending.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
