5 Reasons You Should Be Watching "This Is Us"

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.

The Battle Between College And My Mental Health

College isn't easy, and I'm afraid I'm not going to make it at the rate my mental health is going.

Everyone tells you that college is hard, but they fail to explain why. Sure, classes are hard. Math sucks, and political science can be so boring. But that's not even what's killing me about college. What's killing me about college is my deterioating mental health.

As a college student, I feel as if people don't understand just how exhausted I, and fellow college students are. We have so many things going on, all the time, and sometimes it's hard to explain to people how we feel. Personally...I'm tired. I'm sad. And I'm struggling every single day with my emotions. But the thing is, it hasn't always been this way. I haven't always hated school, so why am I feeling like this now?
