A Ranking Of Nasim Pedrad's Best SNL Characters

Kollaboration

In honor of Nasim Pedrad's appearance at SJU last Saturday night, here are her best characters and impressions from her five year reign on Saturday Night Live.

10. Raquel, the attention-seeking child

As a tyrant of a child, Raquel is a questionable case, considering her father (Alec Baldwin) is a child psychologist.

9. Kelly Ripa

Poignantly impersonating the talk show icon, Pedrad brilliantly displays all of Kelly Ripa's quirks.

Memorable quote: "One time, I shut my eyes for a second, and accidentally slept for a year and a half. So that's why I never blink."

8. Lil' Blaster

With the help of DJ Supersoaker, Lil' Blaster presents many twisted music festivals, such as Crunkmas.

7. Tippy

Tippy displays every party guest's worst nightmare: She doesn't get the jokes, she interrupts, and she shows up in the middle of a conversation.

6. M.I.A.

Pedrad portrays all of the absurdities of the controversial Sri Lankan rapper perfectly.

5. Heshy

Who couldn't love Heshy, the world's worst motivational speaker?

4. Shallon

And then there's Shallon, the happy-go-lucky kid who seems to reject all of the virtues of society, and embrace the vices.

Memorable quote: “I finish my times tables, I get to unwind with a half hour of TV, and have a little bit of crack.”

3. Nicki Minaj

Pedrad displayed one of her best impressions with her Nicki Minaj, who was in charge of serenading Beyoncé's new baby, Blue Ivy.

2. Arianna Huffington

One of her best impressions is Huffington Post editor-in-chief Arianna Huffington. Here, Nasim Pedrad perfects her Greek accent while overtly flirting with Seth Meyers.

1. Kim Kardashian

And last but not least, Kim Kardashian! Everything about this impression is perfect: from the appearance, to the nasally voice, to the accessory that is Kanye West.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
