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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
