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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
