Right Now, We All Need A Little Ted Lasso

Because who doesn't love a good show!

Right Now, We All Need A Little Ted Lasso
Apple TV

This year, I got a brand new iPhone for Christmas and with that came a free year-long subscription to Apple TV. My family loves streaming services: from Netflix to Hulu to Disney+, we love it all. So of course when a free subscription is given, you're gonna use it.

At first I had no idea what to watch, since virtually none of my friends had it, so I turned to Google. Everyone was raving about Ted Lasso, a comedy show that came out in August on the platform. I decided to give it a watch, and now it has turned into one of my comfort shows.

Ted Lasso, who is played by Jason Sudekis, is an American football coach who goes over to England to coach football, which is actually soccer. Ted has no idea how the game of soccer is played, and yet he still became coach of a premier league in London, England.

The show follows Ted Lasso's adventures in England with Coach, Nate the Great, team owner Rebecca, and communications coordinator Higgins. It also follows the storyline of 2 footballers, Jamie and Roy, and their love triangle with model Keeley Jones.

The show moved me to tears quite a few times when it touched on the topics on love, divorce, anxiety, and friendship. Ted Lasso is a hit in my eyes, and I would have never thought that from the first five minutes of watching.

Ted is a happy, kind and loving guy. His kind and happy spirit is infectious, every time he was on screen I was always smiling! His character has such a positive outlook on everything, he never let anything get him down. Even when the team was losing game after game, it never tore down Ted's spirit, and he was always optimistic of what could happen.

I think that right now, based on how much the world has gone though in the past year, that everyone could use a little Ted Lasso. The show beautifully demonstrates that no matter what you go through, the good and the bad, you always have to have a little hope.

When Ted was getting a divorce, having anxiety attacks, and losing the team's premier status; he still had a positive outlook. He still had the team, his friends, and hope. He found that his team losing was bad; but one of his old players was on the other team who scored the winning goal, and he congratulated him on his success.

He found ways to turn bad situations into good ones. He saw the good in people, and in the world. Ted went through his fair share of problems but he never lost his hope or spirit, and neither should you.

Also, season 2 just started filming in England, and should be available hopefully in August 2021!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
