I am usually quite skeptical when it comes to animated television shows for young adults. I tend to turn away from raunchy humor, and I assume that the majority of these programs rely on sexually explicit material or offensive jokes, such as "Family Guy" or "American Dad".

When people first started suggesting "BoJack Horseman" to me, I repeatedly ignored their comments. I prefer to rewatch my old, beloved shows rather than start a new one. However, once I realized that "Friends" would be removed from Netflix, I found myself stuck. I needed something different, something to distract me from the pain of losing my favorite gang of six.

The series is very different from what I normally watch, and I considered giving up after the first two episodes. I decided to stick with it and now I find myself constantly looking for an excuse to watch more episodes.

It's awkward, it's satirical, it's the perfect blend of humorous and strange. Although I don't necessarily relate to the characters as I would when watching other television series, I still think that a lot of the commentary is relevant to both my life and society in general.

1. The Struggles of Being Awake

This is extremely relevant to someone like me, who naturally wakes up at one in the afternoon.

2. The Perils of Adulthood

One day you're carefree, the next day you realize you have to learn how to do taxes.

3. Society at Its Finest

Of course we've progressed, but there's still much more we can improve.

4. Coping Mechanisms

Sometimes, we all just need a good cry.

5. Refocusing for Our Goals

Even when we get off track, we can reevaluate and come out stronger in the end.

6. Being Honest About Your Feelings

It's okay to admit that you're struggling.

7. Adulthood is Hard

Being a certain age doesn't mean you have to have everything figured out.

8. Everyone Can Improve

You can always strive to be the best version of yourself.

If you're an animal fanatic, a cynic, or just genuinely enjoy comedies, definitely check out this series. I guarantee it will surprise you.

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.
