My family has never had cable so I didn't grow up watching Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, or Nickelodeon. Instead, I grew up watching old TV shows, like I Love Lucy and PBS Kids. Below is a list of the absolute best PBS Kids shows. Fun fact: If the show had a Halloween episode then it's my favorite.

1. Fetch With Ruff Ruffman

Fun fact: Nothing will ever top the Halloween episode where they were locked in the haunted mansion and had to solve the mystery. Also, I wanted nothing more than to be a contestant on the show.


2. Cyber Chase

Fun fact: Gilbert Gottfried is the voice of Digit, aka the bird from Cyber Chase, and is also the voice of Iago, aka the bird from Aladdin.


3. Electric Company

Fun fact: actor William Jackson Harper who plays Danny Rebus, one of the villains in this show, also plays Chidi Anagonye on a new hit TV show called The Good Place. Basically, I cannot see him as anyone but Danny and it's a bit of a problem.


4. Zoboomafoo

Fun Fact: basically everything I know about lemurs I learned from the Kratt brothers.


5. Wild Kratts

Fun fact: Remember Zoboomafoo? Remember the brothers? These are the same ones but in cartoon form and minus the monkey.


6. Arthur

Fun fact: "Having fun isn't hard when you have a library card" are words to live by.


7. Curious George

Fun fact: I really want to get a kitten and name it gnocchi.


8. Between The Lions

Fun fact: Cliiiiif Hanger! Hanging from a cliiiiiiff! And that's why he's called Cliff Hangeeerrr!


9. Dragon Tales


Fun fact: If you didn't start reciting "I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with dragons in a land apart" every time you found a pretty rock did you even have a childhood?


10. Maya and Miguel

Fun fact: Watching Maya and Miguel always made me hungry and I still don't know why.


11. Word Girl


Fun fact: This is the show that taught me my favorite word--tangent. Don't ask why it's my favorite because I honestly don't know.


12. Clifford the Big Red Dog

Fun fact: Have I ever steered you wrong?


13. Sesame Street

Fun fact: Oscar the Grouch was, and still is, my favorite

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.
