What do these words have in common? Shiplap, Open Concept, Island, and Demo Day... need some help? Odds are you've most likely have learned these words from the HGTV hit series "Fixer Upper".

You know the one with the quirky, sweet, hilarious couple from the small town of Waco Texas. If you're one of the super dedicated fans of the show you probably own one or two things from the Gaines' Magnolia Homes Target line. (Guilty).

Fixer Upper began in 2013 and very quickly made headway into homes all across the nation. Who knew watching a silly old fart test out his youthful spirit by crashing through walls and eating cockroaches? (Yup that happened).

And after many years being the go-to dinner entertainment, the show is reaching its final episode of the series. And while there's a part of us who know it's for a good reason and we are happy for the growing Gaines' family, there's that other part that tells us that besides their Instagram stories, the most will see of this beautiful family is through reruns...

But hey! We will get through this together! Let's take a look at the reasons we obsessed over this show and family for so many years.

1. The farm

Their farmhouse and farm are gorgeous! But their idea of rustic is very different than what my family farm views as rustic. To us, it's just rust.

2. The abundance of animals on that farm.

3. The sweet kiddos

We love the fact that the kids are so involved with everything. It's a bring your kids to work day every episode!

4. The antique shopping

I have never understood the saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure." Until I watched Joanna at an antique store.

5. The faith aspect

If you have read any of their books you know that faith and God are a huge part of what they do and how they operate. Not only within their family but also their business.

6. Joanna's love of plants and gardening.

Every time you watch her begin staging the homes you think, "I wonder if the nearest Lowes or Home Depot or Walmart has plants right now..."

7. Chip's quirkiness.

8. Joanna's style.

9. The many different uses of shiplap.

10. The many DIY projects we have started and haven't finished...

There's honestly too many to count but hey... We'll get it done someday. Just not today.

11. Chip's excitement for Demo Day!

12. The feeling of a reality show but without the drama.

13. Chip's subtle jokes

14. Shorty

Oh Shorty, their trusty handyman. Where would Chip be without Shorty pulling him out of the hole in the ground Chip jumped through?

15. Chip and Joanna in general.

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
