I am a big TV show enthusiast. I can spend hours binging shows on Netflix, or dedicate an hour to a show's time slot each week. There is nothing quite like falling in love with a show and connecting with their characters.

When our favorites feel pain, so do we. When our favorites are happy, then we are happy. So when it is time for a show to end or a certain characters' story is concluded, sometimes the writers do a good job and give the characters justice.

Other times...not so much. I created a list of TV show characters who got a terrible ending and did not deserve it. Whether it be out of character writing or an unfair death, here are characters who deserved better.

1. Allison Argent (Teen Wolf)


Of course, she is at the top of this list. There is nothing I love more than a strong and bad ass female lead. She died to save her friends but I really wish her story did not end here. Her loss was a loss of Teen Wolf's pack, and she deserved so much more than this ending.

2. Stefan Salvatore (The Vampire Diaries)


The award of "Most Robbed Character in TV history" goes too... Stefan. Hands down. The Vampire Diaries was HIS show, and after 8 long seasons, the writers wrote him off in a horrible way. I will never not be bitter about his ending. #JusticeForStefan

3. Cheryl Blossom (Riverdale)


At first glance, the character that is Cheryl Blossom can seem eerie, mean, and a bit harsh. But it is always the characters that have hard edges that have a soft, broken side to them. After her brother was killed by her own father, how could she not be savage at times?

4. Hannah Baker (13 Reasons Why)


Is this not an obvious choice for this list? The show caused tons of controversy after following the life of a teenage girl who committed suicide and showing the events that led to her death. To say she deserved better is an understatement, but I hope this show changes people's minds about bullying.

5. Nate Archibald (Gossip Girl)


An oldie but goodie. Nate Archibald: the golden boy of the Gossip Girl universe. Not only was he ALWAYS out of the loop and confused whenever things would go down, but his finale was lacking. It seems like every character got a happy ending except him. My poor sad puppy.

6. Poussey Washington (Orange is the New Black)


I still cry over Poussey and my heart still aches. This show always pushes the boundaries and makes me think in new ways, and her ending did that for sure. I felt for everyone affected and it made me want to take action in today's world.

7. Bonnie Bennett (The Vampire Diaries)


Okay so are we ever going to talk about Bonnie's ending? Season after season, she constantly sacrificed herself (and sometimes her own life... more than once... this is The Vampire Diaries after all) for her friends, and she got the season finale in return. SO unfair for such a sunshine.

8. Michael Cordero (Jane the Virgin)


OUCH, THIS HURTS. Michael's death was unexpected and shocking. His character brought such warmth and kindness to the show that I am still missing it to this day. The show made me feel like I lost someone as well. #MichaelDeservedBetter

9. Finn Hudson (Glee)

What an unfair ending for the show AND in real life. A humble and sweet character and person both lost. I cried enough at the memorial episode that I could fill up the Atlantic Ocean. We would all have loved to see Finn and Cory have a happy ending.

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.

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.
