7 Shows That Will Restore Your Faith In The Next Generation

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.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
