7 Shows That Will Restore Your Faith In The Next Generation
montessorirocks

Now a days, it seems like our society has very little faith in our children. Whether it's '90's kids complaining that all they wanted was a Gameboy when they were ten and ten year olds today aren't happy with an iPhone or that children hate playing outside, someone is always complaining. The good news is, children of all ages have potential. I have gathered seven shows that will restore your faith in the next generation of humanity.

Kids' Week On JeopardyConfession: I love to watch Jeopardy but for the most part, I don't know the answers... except for during kids' week. Call it cheating or whatever, it makes me feel smart to know I can answer 75% of the questions.

Chopped JuniorNot only are these kids cute, they're amazing at cooking!

Junior Master Chef Again, adorable kids with great talent. And bonus(!!!) It's refreshing to hear Gordon Ramsey be nice. Competitors in Junior Master Chef often show great manners and help each other out as well.

Kids Baking Championship

I know, there's a lot of cooking/baking shows that involve kids. I could see people saying that they get bored of watching kids cook, but cooking is an important skill and it's relatively easy one to learn.

So You Think You Can Dance Next GenerationIf you're a fan of the So You Think You Can Dance, I definitly recommend Next Generation. It's a fun play on the original, where the dancers get to dance with their mentors. Bonus points for awesome judge Maddie Ziegler!

The OlympicsFor many Americans, sports are not a number one prioity in our everyday lives. That hasn't stopped most of us from being glued to our TV's for the past two weeks. While Laurie Hernandez, 16, isn't as young as some of the competitors on Food Network, it's still an amazing feat.

Dance MomsThis show is my absolute favorite and anyone who happens to walk in on me during TV Time will be subjected to watching it. Aside from the drama and cattiness of the adults, the kids are full of more talent in my middle finger. ...And yes, I have tried to do a chin stand thinking it was easy. It wasn't.

There you have it. Seven shows that showcase the talent in today's youth. I definitely recommend watching them, but don't feel bad about yourself. Girls like Nia Sioux and Maddie Ziegler have been dancing since they were two, while children like Sophia from Chopped Junior have been cooking from the time they could toddle. As for being on Jeopardy's Kids' Week, it may be too late, however you may be able to play in the College Competition or even the regular one.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
