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!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
