Watching reality TV is definitely a guilty pleasure for many. It is nice to be able to watch someone else's life and not worry about the stresses of your own for an episode a week. Here are some of my favorite reality TV shows to watch, maybe you might give them a try!

1. 'The Bachelor.' 

'The Bachelor' gives us a look into an unconventional way of falling in love. While it is a beautiful thing to watch before our eyes, the show also highlights what gets the most attention: the drama. The drama takes over the show every season, which only hypes up the fans. Social media is on fire following every single episode and keeps the fans watching. But in the end, it is amazing to see two people (our twenty fine) exploring love.

2. 'Big Brother.' 

If you have never seen 'Big Brother,' you are in for a real treat. This show is comprised of so many different challenges. There are physical, mental, and even emotional challenges that sixteen individuals go through while they are stuck in a house with complete strangers. The goal is simple: to stay in the house. It is so interesting to watch the different strategies game players go in with and to see who comes out on top.

3. 'Below Deck.' 

'Below Deck' gives a different spin to typical reality TV shows. They dive into the lives of private charter employees. We get to see the ins and outs of private charters, especially the drama on the ship. You have drama between those working on the ship as well as mishaps that happen with the charter guests. I love getting to see the beautiful places they travel to and getting updates on who is mad at who and who ignored the guest's preference sheet!

4. 'Ex on the Beach.' 

This show I would say is a combination of all reality shows. A group of social media or TV stars are living at a beach house together and expect to be simply finding love. However, they get shocked to find out that every week, some of them will have exes coming into the house. TALK ABOUT AWKWARD! Seeing the exes and waves caused every week keeps you on the edge of your seat.

5. 'Jersey Shore.' 

This is quite the throwback but this is a classic. I would say 'Jersey Shore' is the first reality show I ever watched. It will always be my go-to on Hulu to watch if I ever need a laugh. The bond these roommates have formed kept me watching but the moments they shared with the public are what kept it interesting. These roommates are the definition of dysfunction and it got better and better with every season.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
