13 Reasons 'Catfish: The TV Show' Is Just As Relevant Now As It Was 6 Years Ago

I promise not all of them are about Max's hair.

Some shows seem to be made almost exclusively for the purpose of reruns. Whether it's for a day that you're feeling under the weather or for those first few days of break after a long semester, shows like "America's Next Top Model" take the cake. One of my favs for days like this is "Catfish: The TV Show." A loyal fan since the very beginning, while new episodes are exciting, there's something about the classics that are really comforting. Six years into the show's premiere, some things keep reeling me back in.

1. Max's hair

UGH.

2. Nev's wife and daughter

So cute and so supportive!

3. Max's tiny camera

Seriously, does that thing even record?

4. Max's progressive t-shirts

From "Black Lives Matter" to "The Future Is Female," my little liberal heart is always so happy to see the support.

5. The boys' advocacy for mental health treatment

Whenever someone reveals that they are struggling, the boys are the first to let them know that there is no shame in getting help. After all, hurt people hurt people.

6. LGBTQ+ friendly AF

There's probably just as many queer couples on the show as straight couples. Hey, dishonesty doesn't discriminate.

7. Seriously, Max's hair

I just really think this one deserves a second point.

8. The chance for authenticity and the ability to change

There's always time to start over.

9. The boys' bromance

Need I say more?

10. They came to my hometown once!

Any amount of attention Rochester can get is a step in the right direction.

11. But they know that somehow, they'll always end up back in Texas

Is there something in the water there?

12. The music is always on point

Usually indie tunes from underground artists, the soundtrack always matches up with the moment perfectly.

13. Whether it's a happy ending or not, the boys will be there with arms wide open

More often than not, things go awry once the person behind the profile is revealed. But it's hard to stay too bummed with these two sweethearts promising that all will be well.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
