5 Network Comedies You Should Already Be Watching
Jens Kreuter

Sometimes all you want to do after a long day at work or class is curl up in bed and laugh for an hour or so. These comedies are perfect for a low-key afternoon or for marathon watching late at night.

1. "Brooklyn Nine-Nine"

This FOX show is the perfect cross between a crime show and a workplace comedy. Michael Schur's brilliant ensemble comedy provides the audience with a fit of laughter every episode. Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, Terry Crews, and the entire rest of the cast give standout comedic performances that will make you cry laughing every week.

2. "The Mindy Project"

This program may have ended as a Hulu Original now, but it started out on FOX. Mindy Kaling provides us with her brilliant comedy time and time again. Kaling describes her character as a woman of color that looks at the world with all of the privilege of a white man, and it works so well. This show did just come to an end after six great years, but you can still watch it all on Hulu.

3. "The Goldbergs"

The brilliant comedic mind of Adam F. Goldberg brings us this hilarious family comedy on ABC about his own life growing up. Thi show is especially great if you're feeling nostalgic because it's filled with 80s throwbacks and nerdy references. Wendi McLendon-Covey leads the show brilliantly and never fails to make me laugh.

4. "The Good Place"

Michael Schur blessed us again with "The Good Place" another hilarious ensemble comedy, this time about life after death. Kristen Bell and Ted Danson shine on this NBC program and help make the show that much better.

5. "Great News"

From the mind of Tracey Wigfield comes this hilarious workplace comedy that focuses on a strong mother-daughter relationship and its wholly entertaining dynamics. Also, Nicole Richie is hysterical in it. You can catch new episodes weekly on NBC.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
