The tear-jerking NBC drama "This Is Us" has been making us cry every Tuesday (and one Super Bowl Sunday) since 2016. Through the tears, you can learn some pretty big lessons about life (and not all of them are taught by Jack Pearson).

1. It's ok to not be able to fix things.

Randall struggles with being able to take care of his family, be "Super-Dad", all while dealing with finding his birth father, and his job as a Weather Trader. It is a continuing lesson for Randall to learn that he cannot fix the entire world.

2. Don't settle; go after your dreams.

Giphy

Kate got a little help in this department from both Jack and Toby. Jack encouraged Kate to be all she could be. After his passing, she lost her way a little. Enter Toby. Toby is the most supportive "fat-friend" (his words not mine), boyfriend, fiancé, and husband there could ever be.

3. Love your family members despite their flaws.

Giphy

Kevin is a bit of a mess. Yet, through bad acting roles, a DUI, and rehab, the Pearson clan supports him through it all! Families support each other.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.
