Randall Pearson is the best character on "This is Us." Yep, I said it and there are many reasons why it's true. He is a loving father, a patient son, and an awesome husband. His story is one that makes you cry, makes you laugh, and makes you feel as if you're experiencing life alongside him. While all of the characters are amazing, he just stands out in a good way!

1. He is goodhearted to everyone.

Randall tries to take care of everyone and everything. He may be too good, to the point where it drives him a bit crazy. As his wife, Beth says "Randall is not free of vice, his vice is his goodness, it's his compulsive drive to be perfect."

2. Family is everything to Randall.

Whether he's spending time with his girls, telling stories with his mom, or making his wife feel special, family comes first. As it should.

3. Although the outcast of his siblings, he still has a lot of love for them both.

Growing up, he was never treated quite the same with his siblings, most of all with Kevin. Kevin and Kate had a twin connection and often left Randall out. But, he never treated them any differently and all three of them learn to lean on each other as they get older.

4. Randall always cherished his biological father and adopted father equally.


When Randall was younger he kept a little book of the adults he met, trying to figure out who his birth father was. But, he kept this a secret from Jack, his adopted father as to not hurt his feelings. Later on, Randall found his biological father, William. He opened his home and his heart to William instantly.

5. He is relatable because of his imperfections.

Randall's struggle with perfectionism leads to insomnia, tremors, and panic attacks. He often tries to hide them, but his family rushes to his side.

6. Randall speaks the truth.

Enough said!

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
