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.

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
