There seems to be an overwhelming number of new shows that premiered this fall. But if you are having a hard time choosing between them all and which ones to invest in, look no further because I have chosen the top three. These three are so good that I have no doubts they'll each be picked up for a second season.

1. "Pitch"

This show is probably my favorite, not only as a new fall show, but as a favorite overall. Just like the main character Ginny Baker, this show is making history by being the first of its kind. The show follows Ginny as she gets called up by the Padres and becomes the first woman to play in the MLB. The show has something for everyone, even if you are not a fan of baseball but love rooting for the underdog. In the show, it seems that Ginny has a lot of people betting against her because...well...she's a girl in the majors. But it's empowering to see Ginny hold her own. Catch the show Thursdays at 9 p.m. on Fox.

2. "This is Us"

This show not only features an all-star cast including Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia, but it will have you crying like no other primetime TV show has done before. The show follows Moore and Ventimiglia's characters set in the past while simultaneously following the story of their three children set in the present. The children call themselves "The Big Three" and the show follows each of them in their respective lives and careers. The show is a lot to keep up with, I'm not going to lie, but it is oh so worth it. Catch the show Tuesdays at 9 on NBC.

3. "Designated Survivor"

This show stars Kiefer Sutherland in an all too chilling, all too real scenario where he is named as acting President of the United States after an attack at the State of the Union Address which killed the President, Vice President, and most of Congress. Sutherland's character Tom Kirkman is a lower-level cabinet member who is the "Designated Survivor." The show not only centers on a scenario that is too scary to even imagine, but it is also unnerving to watch as kind-hearted Kirkman struggles to win over the people of America with the majority of the country against him. Simply put, Kirkman's sincerity and down-to-earth personality did not exactly prepare him to be the President of the United States. Again though, if you like rooting for the underdog, this one is for you. Catch it Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on ABC.

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.
