7 TV Show Characters That Totally Deserved Better
TV Guide

Nothing gets 21st-century viewers angrier than when their favorite characters are overlooked or just plain run over by the writers of shows. The main character is killed, they don't end up with the love of their lives or they simply don't get their happy endings. Here are few characters from a variety of shows that deserved so much better.

*SPOILER: This article contains latest news from these shows.

1. Jess Mariano (Gilmore Girls)

I cry when I see this...actual tears.

2. Bonnie Bennett ( The Vampire Diaries)

She always put her friend's well being above her own, and what does she get? The love of her life killed.

3. Elijah Mikaelson ( The Original)

The noblest and most honest brother, and he gets branded abusive. His girlfriend was killed and the love of his life is rumored to be killed right in front of him in the next season.

4. Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy)

Her mother died from Alzheimer's, her husband was hit by a semi, her stepmother died from the hiccups, her sister died in a plane crash and her boyfriend's supposed-to-be-dead fiancee was found alive. If anyone is in desperate need of a happy ending, it is Meredith Grey.

5. Olivia Benson (Law and Order: SVU)

We need Stabler back ASAP! Sure she's got a adorable kid, a great job and is drop dead gorgeous, but Olivia Benson is not Olivia Benson without Elliot Stabler.

6. Winston Bishop ( New Girl)

He's funny and has amazing lines, but what would be great is if he actually had a storyline. Also, adding a major storyline in a maybe-but-not-really series finale is a good idea.

7. Barney Stinson (How I Met Your Mother)

The most lovable character ended up alone; it's just not fair! If anyone deserved love, it was Barney.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
