6 Of The Best 'Psych' Episodes
USA Network

Even though "Psych" ended its eight-year run almost four years ago (with the exception of Psych: The Movie, which aired in 2017), the show lives on in the hearts and minds of millions of "psycho's" who refuse to let the show die, and re-watch old episodes religiously (P.S., the show is on Amazon Prime and can be streamed for free by Amazon Prime members). In honor of one of the best shows ever made, here is a count-down of 6 of the best episodes of "Psych"

6. "Office Space" Season 7, Episode 11

This episode is as goofy as they come. After quitting his job at Central Coast Pharmaceuticals as a result of watching his boss mistreat an employee, Gus comes back later that night to beg for his job back... Only to discover that his boss has been stabbed to death, holding Gus's resignation letter in his hand. Knowing that he will be viewed as the prime suspect, Shawn and Gus wildly tamper with the crime scene. Their goal over the coming days is to figure out who really killed the boss before the police catch on to what they have done and falsely accuse Gus of the stabbing.

5. "The Break-Up" Season 8, Episode 10 (The Series Finale)

I'll hold the spoilers.... But if you are a fan of the show, you can rest assured that the series finale does this show justice. It ties up loose ends, while leaving enough leeway for 'Psych' to come back in the future. Get your tissues ready, and get watching. It is worth it.

4. "American Duos" Season 2, Episode 1

Hilarity ensues when someone is continually making attempts on the life of an "American Duos" judge, a talent show that is a knock-off of American Idol. The judge, Nigel St. Nigel, is the clear "Simon Cowell" of American Duos - unnecessarily harsh and British. Shawn and Gus decide that the best way to figure out who is threatening Nigel's life is to go undercover as contestants on American Duos and well, you can imagine how that goes.

3. "Gus Walks Into A Bank" Season 3, Episode 8

This episode is slightly more on the serious side, but it is still laced with "Psych's" usual humor. Gus walks into a bank to make a deposit while Shawn waits in the car, only for the bank to be held-up and everyone inside to be held hostage, including Gus. Most of the episode's humor comes from Shawn's obvious jealousy of Detective Juliet's attraction to the chief hostage negotiator, Cameron Luntz. After purposefully getting himself taken hostage to assess the situation in the bank, Shawn realizes there is more going on than meets the eye.

2. "The Santabarbarian Candidate" Season 7, Episode 10

After Santa Barbara's Mayor dies in a surfing accident, Shawn is not convinced that it was an accident at all... he suspects murder. And what's more, he suspects the man lined up to be the new mayor to have committed it. Determined to stop a potential killer from reaching office, Shawn decides to step in and run for mayor, with Gus as his campaign manager. There are also huge developments in Shawn and Juliet's relationship in this episode, but, no spoilers here.

1. "The Spelling Bee" Season 1, Episode 2

As only the second episode of the series, "The Seplling Bee" lets watchers know early on in the series that Shawn and Gus will find themselves knee-deep in all sorts of shenanigans. After the head spell master dies, Shawn and Gus investigate. In one of the funniest moments of the series, Shawn and Gus are up in the spell master's box when it is announced that it is time for a word to be delivered. Shawn, the quick-thinker that he is, decides to give an extremely intelligent kid in the third round of the spelling bee an incredibly difficult word... "banana".

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?
