Stand up comedy is one of my favorite things to watch and see live. It's such a unique talent to stand on a stage and make a large group of people laugh. There's different styles of comedy but most common are sexual, race, swearing, and gender roles. I will admittedly say I enjoy all of those topics and I love how comedians say what everyone is afraid to say or thinking. It's almost like a meta experience. These are some of my favorite comedians that are all on Netflix and should totally be checked out!


1. Louis C.K

Louis C.K.stars in his own show and several recorded stand up shows on Netflix. He has the best theme song that acquired no effort. He just repeats his name in a catchy tune while eating a New York slice of pizza. He's cynical and exposes how crazy life and people are. I love his humor and he has many famous segments during his comedy.

2. Ali Wong

I came across her Netflix special about a month ago called Baby Cobra and loved it. She is in her trimester yet she definitely proves she can bend, run, and still have great sex. She is very crude for a little Asian woman and in this segment she talks about her one goal in life which is how she trapped her husbands ass and what she plans to do with it. She is a must watch!

3. Sebastian Maniscalco

He is my favorite comedian out of this list, especially because I got to see him live in Atlantic City. He tours frequently now due to success and fame. His comedy pertains mostly to Italian American culture and how everyone else is just doing it wrong. He is absolutely hysterical and makes fun of peoples ridiculous actions. He has two recordings on Netflix and they are both equally amazing. A must see is Aren't You Embarrassed?

4. Dane Cook

He is a well known actor staring in several hit movies .His comedy career is equally as great. I've watched Vicious Circle which was recorded in front of a large crowd many times and I still laugh each time. Though Vicious Circle is not on Netflix he does have Rough around the Edges on it. He mostly talks about how couples work, and his own experiences with people he hates... which is everyone. He is hilarious and so lively on the stage.

5. Donald Glover

Rapper, Actor, and Comedian. If you're not familiar with his rap music maybe you've seen him on Community. I was so shocked to see he has a recording on Netflix and I had to watch since I'm a huge fan of his character Troy from his show. He has the best faces and he didn't really stick to any topic. I just loved his segment and think it's a must watch.

There are so many more comedians but these are definitely favored!

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
