If you watch "This is Us" weekly and have not seen the episode that came directly after the Super Bowl yet, I would stop reading now. This episode was probably the most intense one that the show has released thus far, and it is only going to get crazier.

First of all, airing this episode right after the Super Bowl was exactly the way to get to every mom, college or high school girl, or any other low key viewer of this emotional rollercoaster of a show that was waiting for it throughout the entire game. The excitement was definitely built up and this episode was able to live up to the hype for sure.

Up to this point, everyone has had their theories about how Jack dies, how it is Kate's fault, and how Rebecca is possibly supposed to deal with it and this episode answered almost all of our questions. Jack ends up going back into the house just to save Kate's dog (not worth it) and because of the mass amount of smoke in his lungs, he ends up having a heart attack and dying while Rebecca is at the vending machine getting him candy. Watching Rebecca find out about Jack's death and then immediately watching her have to tell her children was one of the hardest scenes I have ever had to sit through in all of my television watching experience.

As for Randall and family, this episode introduced us to an entire new generation. Just when we thought the writers were running out of ideas, they hit us with an entirely new generation for Randall's children. Throughout the entire episode we thought that the little foster boy was going to be apart of the Pearson family, but then the writers hit us with an absolute BOMB and we see that it is really a look into the future and the foster care agent? Oh yeah, that's Randall's oldest daughter Tess as a grown woman. I don't know how the writers keep doing it.

This episode destroyed me mentally and made me realize that I am never going to be able to predict anything that is coming for me with this show but that being said, I cannot wait to see what Tuesday has in store.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
