5 Classic TV Shows Everyone Should See
Wikipedia

Television is one of America's favorite forms of entertainment, and there is no shortage of television shows today designed to entertain. No television show, though, would be what it is without its precursors. Classic television set the bar high, and five of those classics are definitely a must-see for today's viewers.

1. "I Love Lucy"

"I Love Lucy" is a product of the 1950s, and it revolves around the Ricardos and Mertzes, two families who live in the same apartment building in the heart of New York City. Lucy Ricardo and Ethel Mertz are the two troublemakers of the show, and they often end up in hilarious scrapes that will leave viewers laughing long after the ending credits have rolled.

2. "The Andy Griffith Show"

Airing in the 1960s, "The Andy Griffith Show" is set in Mayberry, North Carolina, a small town protected by Andy Taylor and Barney Fife, the sheriff and deputy, respectively. The show teaches viewers important life lessons and emphasizes the importance of family and friends.

3. "Leave It to Beaver"

"Leave It to Beaver" focuses on the Cleaver family: Ward, June, Wally, and Theodore, affectionately known as "Beaver." From the late 1950s and onward, the Cleaver family became America's model family, and the lessons taught on the show are unforgettable.

4. "The Waltons"

"The Waltons" depicts both the joys and hardships of a close-knit family during the Great Depression and World War II living in rural Virginia. "The Waltons" is a personal favorite of mine, and, once viewed, is a show that will never be forgotten.

5. "The Brady Bunch"

The Bradys are everyone's favorite family from the 1970s. "The Brady Bunch" ran from 1969 to 1974, and the show has remained popular to this day. Once again, this show provides not only quality entertainment for viewers but also teaches life lessons in each episode.

These classic television shows are full of humor and family values, and they should continue to be enjoyed by everyone.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
