Not all of these shows will be your number one favorite show ever, but they all bring something unique to the table. Try some of these out, you might be surprised.

10. Call the Midwife

Call the Midwife is a BBC program that recounts the lives of midwifes in London around 1960. Not only does it show the way of childbirth in the 1960's but also the love lives of the characters. Its well worth the watch if you enjoy historically accurate fiction.

9. The OA

The OA is really cool, however its also really different. Its definitely not for everyone and it takes a fair amount of attention to understand. Its about a blind woman who went missing and then years later returned to her family with her sight restored. Its about so much more than that but SPOILERS!

8. Atypical

Atypical is a funny show about a young boy with autism who is searching for love. The story dives into the lives of the family and how their lives are made different by having a brother or son with autism. Its worth the watch!

7. Dear White People

This show confronts many difficult topics of race and how race affects everyone. It is not a polite show, and its very unconventional, but in my opinion that's what makes it so amazing. Its time to have open conversations about race.

6. Nailed It

This show is quite funny, it takes normal people who aren't chefs and treats them like they are. Its hilarious, and shows you that you aren't actually the worst cook ever, these people on the show are!

5. Lost in Space

Lost in Space is intriguing and exciting. A family who is fleeing from planet earth to find a better planet run into some trouble in the midst of their galactic travel and they end up lost somewhere in the middle with a scary unidentified robot guy who may or may not be evil. This is well worth the watch.

4. The Office

The Office took some time to get used to, but once you get past the first few episodes, you'll laugh so hard you cry. Its a dry humor at times but if you pay attention you will totally love it.

3. New Girl

This show is quite possibly the greatest show ever! Its full of love, life, and good humor. Jessica Day moves in with 4 grown men and the rest is history. Watch it. You'll love it.

2. The Crown

British royals are always interesting, its a historically accurate show about the Queen which shows the life she lived in more personal detail than we see on the outside. Its captivating, and you'll have a killer British accent by the time you've watched season 2.

1. Grey's Anatomy

Ahh, the most well known television show in US... Well, maybe not but its been around for a long time and still going strong. Greys follows the lives of the Doctors at Seattle Grace Hospital from their internship all the way to retirement probably. Full of love triangles, death, medicine, and more death. Its a black hole you may never get out of but so totally worth it.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
