7 Reasons Why I Watch 'Fixer Upper'
www.gospelherald.com

"Fixer Upper" is not like any other HGTV show. They have brought a different type of dynamic to this channel. They act real. Unlike many of the other TV hosts, they seem real. It doesn't feel like they are reading a script and it's like you are actually watching the real Chip and Joanna Gaines on TV. I don't only just watch the show because of how amazing the interior designs or the constructions of the houses but rather I watch it because of Chip and Joanna. Here are the reasons why I watch Fixer Upper:

1. Their relationship


They are literally relationship goals! When you watch the show it is as if you are actually seeing their relationship and not something that is fake or scripted. Plus you can't write some of the things Chip says.

2. Their children

They have made some of the most beautiful human beings on the planet with their sun-kissed hair, golden tan, light freckles and I don't feel weird saying that. Clearly I have watched this show way too many times. Also, they say some of the cutest things on the show.

3. Their values

You can see their values when you watch the show. For example, how they always make a way to eat dinner together as a family no matter what. It's amazing to see their Christian values slowly seep through the show, but it is not overpowering that it puts you off. It's refreshing to see a Christian based family on a well-known TV channel. Also, if you haven't seen Joanna's testimony then you should really watch it. Here is the link.


4. They are funny

I love how every time the show starts it begins with a blooper and it never fails to make me laugh. The things Chip says are unreal and sometimes I don't know how Joanna deals with him. Especially the time he ran through the wall just because and probably hurt himself, but said it was awesome.


5. Shiplap

Shiplap over shiplap it is one of Joanna's core pieces when designing a house and I love it. I honestly never get tired of it. It's something that I have never seen in houses from where I am from. I love the idea of exposing your house and seeing what is underneath and then making it a decoration.


6. The farmhouse

Is it weird to be in love with this house? Because I am! I love the whole story behind the farmhouse and the design. Also the fact that is has 40 acres of land is amazing. I just want to go to Waco, Texas just to see this house and actually see the layout of the house because it's still a mystery to me.

7. The design

Some people criticize Joanna how she does the same design over and over again and I beg to differ. Yes, she does use shiplap and distressed wood often, but that is her design. It's the type of design she likes. What makes her different from the other TV designers is she always makes it personal to the client. She includes that one thing that speaks to the client.

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?
