5 Crazy 'Catfish' Episodes That Were Too Strange To Forget
YouTube, MTV

I vividly remember the very first time I witnessed an episode of "Catfish". After watching the whole episode, and getting too into the intense search for the culprit, it left me wanting more. To this day, I still follow the show and all its stories. I've seen the latest season, and even the documentary that started it all.

Despite there being a plethora of episodes, there were a good handful that were so mad, I can't shake them from my brain. So I decided to pick the craziest of the crazy and explain why these six episodes were the ones I chose out of every single "Catfish" to ever be made.

1. Spencer and Katy

My favorite episode of Catfish to ever exist. A middle-aged man named Spencer emails "Catfish the T.V. Show" only to tell them that he believes he is emailing THE Katy Perry. Not only this, but he thinks they are madly in love with one another. What makes this episode so nuts is the fact that this Spencer guy never caves into admitting this "Katy" is a total Katy catfish. Even after they find the real girl who was sending him the emails, he STILL continued to email her and even referred to her as Katy. His excuse was he was "just double checking to make absolutely sure it wasn't her"....hello! You met the catfish in person dude!

2. Whitney and Bre

The first "Catfish" episode ever where Nev and Max had to call MTV to explain to them the insane situation this woman named Whitney got them into. What happened was, Whitney emailed Nev and Max to get some help with this girl named Bre she had been talking to on the internet.

Turns out, Whitney lied about the fact that she has never video chatted with Bre. Eventually, Nev and Max find out that Whitney was just messing with them all along to use them to get a plane ticket to see her girlfriend Bre, since they both can't afford to fly to see each other. Max and Nev end up being very angry with the whole situation, but still help get the two love birds together in the end.

3. Artis and Jess

Ah, yes. The episode that confused us all. Poor Artis just wanted to meet Jess, a woman he met on social media and had been talking with for a while. But, after a confusing investigation, Nev, Max, and Artis end up face to face with a scary, strange man that was Jess the whole time. Their conversation is very awkward, and we never really get a straight answer on why this man catfished Artis.

4. Antwane and Tony

What if your secret lover ended up being your salty cousin? After a long chase to help a guy named Antwane find his true love, it all came down to this meme-able statement from Antwane's cousin.

5. Kayla and Courtney

Quite possibly the strangest "Catfish" episode to ever air. So this girl named Kayla gets a message from a girl who claims to be channeling the ghost of Kayla's dad. After meeting the so called catfish, she introduces herself as Courtney and she was not lying about her experience with this "ghost father."

She truly believed she was channeling his spirit, and she ends up telling Kayla a bunch of things she thinks her father wanted to say to her.

What's your favorite "Catfish" episode?

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

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

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

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.

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.
