5 Reasons You Should Be Watching "This Is Us"
Tegla

Today someone asked me what my favorite show is and without a thought, I answered, "This Is Us." It is hands down the best tv show and here's why...

1. The storyline is so well thought out.

Every episode a new piece of the story unfolds in the most thought out way. It leaves you wondering every week just how they did it.

2. Every episode gives you the feels.

Raw emotion is what the show is about. As long as you have a heart you are likely to cry at every episode but it won't turn you away, it just makes you want to know more. Not only will you cry but you will fall in love with the characters and the whole show in general.

3. It's a family show.

Everyone over the age of 12 is most likely to love this show. It is a great show to sit and watch as a family and it really makes you realize how important family is. It brings up complex, but real world situations that are important in families.

4. The show depicts that every family is unique and that no type of family is the right family.

The show is not about a white picket house family. William has a male partner, the main characters are triplets who are not all the same race, and so many other examples. The show depicts real world families today and does a great job showing that no family is the wrong kind of family.

5. Everyone who watches has at least one character who they can personally relate to.

There are so many characters in "This Is Us" that every person who watches can connect to one member in the show for one reason or another. The same goes for situations. Everyone has gone through something rough in their life. The show does a great job accurately depicting sickness, death, weight loss, jobs, and so many other things that affect people's everyday life.

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.

"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?
