'Good Trouble' Is A Good Watch For Your Winter TV Tuesdays

So if you remember the times where Freeform used to be ABC Family and all the old shows we grew up on. One of my favorites from the channel is "The Fosters." The show ended last year after five seasons but the series continues to in the spin-off show, "Good Trouble."

Warning: Spoilers Ahead!!

Callie and Mariana make the big move to Los Angelas on their own and away from their adopted moms, Lena and Stef, and things don't don't exactly start off great for them. Their first day in LA they have their U-Haul towed, all their stuff robbed except for the mattresses, their luxury apartment turns out to be a commune living space, and Callie has a one night stand with one of her new neighbors who happens to be Mariana's co-worker and newest crush, Gael. And this is just in episode one

Now at first, I didn't know how to feel about this spin-off because I wondered, "well what are they gonna do?" That was before I knew what it was really going to be about. Two girls who leave home and adventure off to the big city and try to survive adulting. This echoed what I'm going through in real life as a college senior. How your first apartment is going to be a disaster zone, complicated dating situations, trying to make it at your first big girl job. This is so relatable to many people like me and it's one of the many reasons why the show works. It's not afraid to push the door down and talk about real life issues and experiences.

The show includes so much dialogue about current day issues. From sexism in the workplace and police brutality to sexual identity and working a dead end job to support your real dreams. This is our generation's "90210" but with more stories and drama in the mix. The show has thirteen episodes this season and has already been renewed for a second season. I definitely recommend watching this show this winter and getting yourself into some "Good Trouble".

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
