9-1-1 Should Be Your New TV Obsession

9-1-1 Should Be Your New TV Obsession
youtube.com

With the start of the new year, there are many more tv shows to be discovered. In fact, they are never ending. While some tv shows are boring and have already been portrayed in earlier, better series, some shows really go well beyond the description of "good." Brought to you from the creators of American Horror Story and The People V. O.J. Simpson, that's right Ryan Murphy, also Glee creator, has done it again with another gripping television drama airing Wednesdays on Fox: 9-1-1.

You may recognize two people if you are a fan of Ryan Murphy's work; Angela Bassett, and Connie Britton who both starred in one or more seasons of American Horror Story.

Your first thought is probably to compare it to all those other cop and doctor shows, like Greys Anatomy. I know that I did. However I have never seen a show quite like this one. Not only does it follow the lives of people on the police force, but also mainly that of firefighters. What I find most unique is that Britton plays a 9-1-1 dispatcher.

Often the episodes with start with a call that Britton gets from someone in trouble, and often times she is an integral part of keeping them calm, and alive. She even gets her hands dirty a couple of times.

What's different about this show is the ability to entertain while also not overdoing it with the drama. The cases that these first responders stumble on are a lot of times things that you would never even imagine. Which makes me wonder if they're actually real.

You quickly get absorbed into the drama of their cases as well as the drama of their lives, and let me tell you... They are no ordinary people. With a stacked cast and fantastic acting that can only be portrayed by the greatest, it is safe to say that 9-1-1 is my new obsession, and it should be yours too.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Students walking on a sunny college campus with trees and buildings.

"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.
