College As Told By The Gallaghers

After all, maybe we are all a little "Shameless."

Feb 06, 2017

When college started, I could have used a show like "Shameless" to get me through the most annoying days. It was not until recently that I discovered this unreal show. Honestly, I am awful at finishing shows with long episodes and lots of seasons. But "Shameless" is always keeping me on the edge of my seat. There's everything from violence to romance and everything in between. Looking for comedy and action? Look no further.

The Gallaghers are probably the most iconic family to hit the TV screen. Whenever I am having an awful day, they taught me things could be WAY worse! When they are at their lowest low, the only way to go is up. "Shameless" has taught me a thing or two about human growth and getting to know myself, but more importantly it has taught me to live in the moment. Stay tuned for a glimpse at college as told by the Gallaghers!

1. Going into all multiple choice tests like

A, B and C all sound equally confusing, so I'll just go with all of them.

If you think you're working with us after this, think again.

This guy has a scarf on and a double shot of expresso in his hand.

8. When you get a B after studying 10 minutes before an exam

There is a god!

9. Maybe school is not our thing, but professors should appreciate our other skills!

Listen I am smart in so many other ways...

10. Getting into the bar with free cover like

Now I have $5 extra to spend on Jimmy Hulas!!!

11. Successfully getting 500 dollars in your donor drive

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
