Keeping Up With The Watermelons: Season 1 Review
Kaetlin Lamberson

Season 1 of Keeping Up with the Watermelons has officially been filmed and premiered on Snapchat. In recap, Keeping Up with the Watermelon is a mini Snapchat reality series that follows the ever present drama with three roommates at Southeast Missouri State University. Kaetlin Lamberson is a psychic, Margaret Schauwecker worshiped a leaf, and Hannah Misenheimer never stops rolling her eyes.


The drama has yet to slow down. Schauwecker almost got "married", but then dumped the guy after not inviting Misenheimer, and Misenheimer said she was not thankful for Schauwecker at Thanksgiving time. There was also a more lighter epsiode that took place during Fall For Dance 2016 at the River Campus. As all three students are dancers, they were fixing their hair and makeup while jamming out. One lyric flub turned into every dancer and some faculty to give their opinions on what the true lyrics were. But lo and beyond, Kaetlin the psychic struck again by revealing the true line of the song by the end.

However, the drama really unfolded in the season finale. Filmed in two parts, we find out Schauwecker was accused of murder. When taken into the "police station," she blamed a lot of her antics and behaviors towards Misenheimer on "the Watermelons," which she never spoke aloud, only mouthing it towards the camera. In the second part, we knew we were in trouble with Kaetlin's psychic powers weren't strong enough for the situation. Taken place in a "court room," Schauwecker and Misenheimer are fighting against each other on a murder conviction. Both "lawyers" questioned each girl's antics throughout the season, and the producer even added in flashbacks from the season to refresh our memories.

But the real problem comes up with a Misenheimer look-a-like stumbles into court, yelling that the girl who was currently on the stand wasn't who she said she was! Did anyone see that coming?!

Then we find out that another person was killed, not just one, and the second victim was possibly Schauwecker's potential husband!!!

Since the conclusion of the season, I can hypothesize that Misenheimer will end up being convicted of the murders, it sounded like she essentially confessed to it. But which Misenheimer was the culprit?

There are too many questions that needed to be answered that wasn't answered since mid-season. We still don't know why Kaetlin is psychic, and we don't know why Misenheimer and Schauwecker hate each other (though it might have something to do with a jealousy issue concerning Schauwecker's fiance). But now more questions have been added to the mix. What's the story between these two Misenheimers? What will be the official outcome of the trial? Are we ever going to get any backstory to how any of this started?

This is definitely on over dramatic family. No matter what's going on, someone turns it into some kind of soap opera or sob story. It's starting to get a bit hard to follow, as there is a lot of information thrown out without us having any knowledge as to what happened before and what lead to the current moment. But that's how season one has to start with a mini series like this: upscale the drama way more to keep the viewers engaged, that way they will come back for the next season and see what, if any, questions will be answered. I guarantee that they won't disappoint their fans in season two (yes it's been confirmed, there is a second season!! I'm not just setting you up for nothing!)

Keeping Up with the Watermelons season 2 will premiere in the middle on January after the start of the spring semester, and continue to premiere new episodes every Sunday night on Snapchat. You can also find them on Twitter, where they will continue posting their weekly episodes once they disappear from Snapchat.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
