The Good Place Review

A non-spoiler review of The Good Place!

Anything talking about morals and ethical code is automatically going to be a hit in my book. However,The Good Place (which can be viewed through most TV providers) really hit a home run.

From their characters to the ideas and themes, producers Michael Schur, David Miner, Morgan Sackett, and Drew Goddard really created something original and talk-worthy with this show. For anyone who hasn't seen the show, I will try to do my best not to spoil any big secrets, which the show is packed full of.

This comedic show is based around its two main characters: Eleonor and Chidi, cast as Kristen Bell and William Jackson Harper, respectively. They both have died on what we know as Earth and must navigate the afterlife where they both have made it into "the good place."

Whether you believe in religion and/or the afterlife, the show puts on a good mask of showing where they line up on the religious spectrum. One could argue that the show exhibits a faith that is of close variation to Christianity (with a few spin-offs and name changes), but regardless it is less about where they are and more about how to get out.

Following the beloved characters on their adventures keeps the audience entertained as other characters like Tahani Al-Jamil, Jason, and Michael keep things twisted and enticing. In the beginning, none of the characters find the afterlife to be exactly what they expected and are trying to save face during the first episode or so.

If you're anything like me and love to think about what the afterlife could be like or simply love a good laugh, I highly recommend you check out the show and make sure to note your favorite character: it's a debated topic, I promise! The show goes through season four and is gaining popularity every single day, so if you're missing out, take the time to turn on Netflix and binge-watch for the next couple hours.

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?

sisters

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.
