After days of hard work and days of hardcore stress from college, my sisters and I always watch at least a few YouTube videos of "The Late Late Show" with the notoriously funny James Corden as the host. Like Ellen DeGeneres, this guy never fails to make me laugh with his skits and his interactions. I think he is just so creative in his skits, that is what makes his show so refreshing to watch! I wish I can catch his actual show on television but his show comes on very late at night at 12:35 a.m., hence the title of his show. And for that reason, that is why my sisters and I watch YouTube videos of James Corden's "The Late Late Show."

If you enjoy watching "The Ellen Show," I recommend you also watch James Corden's "The Late Late Show" and here are the reasons why.

1. James Corden is super funny

On a scale from 1 to 10, James Corden's "The Late Late Show" definitely deserves a 9.5 out of 10! Every video with James Corden will always leave you laughing at the end. No matter what he does, no matter what he says, it's impossible not to laugh at him. His jokes will knock your socks off! That just only proves he is doing his job as a show host really well.

2. James Corden does parodies

If it's a famous song that is trending or if it's a classic well-known by many people, more likely, they will be parodied by James Corden. James Corden parodied many songs like hit classics such as Nat King Cole's "L-O-V-E" and popular songs today such as Ariana Grande's "Thank you, Next." You cannot help but enjoy these parodies because it's such a delight to watch. You will either smile or laugh hysterically.

3. James Corden comes up with OUTRAGEOUS games

Not only does he get creative with skits, but he also gets creative with his games. One game he has come up with is called "Tattoo Roulette," in which he and his guests have to pick a box that either says "Safe" or "Tattoo." Only one box out of the five boxes has "Tattoo," and if anyone has this box, they are to have the words "Late Late Show" tattooed on them and they are to get tattooed right there on the show. Pretty scary, huh? Another game he also comes up with is called "Flinch." In this game, the guests have to stand behind a glass screen while James Corden shoots fruits and vegetables at the glass screen. The only way to win is to NOT flinch from the fruits and vegetables being splattered at the glass screen, which is easy said than done.

4. James Corden has "Carpool Karaoke"

Boy, not even Ellen DeGeneres or Jimmy Fallon has ever done a thing like this. Not only does James Corden converse with famous singers, but he takes them into his car and karaoke with them too. Numerous singers have sung along with James Corden like Madonna, Mariah Carey, Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus, and Ariana Grande, etc. He just makes me envy him even more because c'mon, who doesn't want to sing Harry Styles' songs with the singer himself?

5. James Corden created "Crosswalk The Musical"

Now, James Corden really brings the show on the road with this one. He literally has cast members and even guest celebrities participate in musicals outside on street crosswalks in front of cars that stop in front of traffic lights. He makes sure these musicals are GRAND. He does famous musicals that are well-known today such as "Phantom of the Opera," "Grease," "The Sound of Music," and even "The Greatest Showman." Pretty much he gives out free entertainment on sidewalks! How cool is that?

Given these reasons above, I really appreciate having an amazing show host like James Corden. I mean, he really makes your day, no matter how bad your day may be. He gives so much effort in filling us our lives with pure laughter. From there on, if I am ever going to be a guest in a talk show, it will be either be in "The Ellen Show" or in "The Late Late Show" with James Corden.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
