"This is us" recently returned to NBC for their third season on Tuesday, September 25. My roommate and I are huge fans of the series and we were counting down the days until it came back on. Tuesdays have turned into a roomie night where we watch the show on our floor while eating some type of delicious dessert.

There have only been two episodes so far and there have already been so many plot twists. During each episode, we have found ourselves saying multiple times, "I love Randall" or "Beth is fabulous." So I think it is safe to say that Beth and Randall Pearson are our favorite characters -- and also favorite couple.

Here's a list of five reasons why Randall and Beth are THE ultimate power couple.

1. They hype each other up

Beth and Randall are constantly encouraging each other. In the past episode (S3xEp02), Beth had a big proposal she was working on for work. She was really stuck on it for a while but Randall continued to remind her that she could do it. It is also shown by the fist bumps and high fives that the couple share after their accomplishments. You can also see this by more subtle things that they do, like making compromises for the other person. Randall said in season two, episode 1, "We don't follow one another. We don't push our own plans on each other. We adjust our plans together." I think this shows the deeper way of how they support and encourage each other.

2. They both try to do more to help other people

I see this aspect of their relationship in two major places in the series. One of these is when they opened their home to Randall's biological father, William. They helped him with his medical expenses and different things that he needed throughout that the last year of his life. After William died, the couple also became a foster home. They had one child stay with them, a teenage girl named Deja. She is still living with them in the current season. They are also always there to help their family and their community.

3. They have a good way of communicating

Randall and Beth have always been open and honest about what they are thinking. You see this during many serious conversations throughout the series. When Randall wanted to adopt, Beth was a little uncertain about it. This caused a little bit of tension, but it didn't last long before they were talking it out and sharing what was on their mind. The same thing happened when William, as well as Kevin, stayed with them. They have talked through many disagreements, always in a calm and honest manor.

4. They know their relationship is not perfect

Randall and Beth went through a little bit of a rough patch during season two. In one particular episode (S2xEp01), Randall said "We are perfectly imperfect." They are well aware that they have troubles in their marriage, just like every other couple does. They always fight through it together. I think this is a big part as to why they are so admirable. They know that they don't have it all together and they don't try to act like they do. They take it as it is and they make the best out of things.

5. You can see how they love each other in the way they interact

You can see the love that Beth and Randall have in just the little moments they share. This can be seen by the way they look at each other, the smiles they share or the way that they love their kids. They finish each other's thoughts and know what the other person is thinking. Beth is feisty, caring, and put together. Randall is stubborn, sweet, and understanding. They are very different, but they complete each other. They are two halves that make a perfect whole.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
