This is us (the tv show)... So Far
This is us tv poster. TV Guide's photo. Not mine.

First seasons of shows tend to be annoying. Some have only have less than ten episodes. Some have the story lines that seem way to rushed. Sometimes shows don't make it passed the first season, and are extremely lucky if they do. I''m a tv show junkie. I also typically only watch shows that are off the air. I don't always have time to watch a weekly show. I prefer to binge. I tend to watch way too many shows, so if a new show catches my eye, than that's a huge deal.This is us is an amazing show so far. There are only a total of eight episodes so far, but I'm very intrigued by the show. The premise of the show is that its a family love story being told through as span of different time periods. The family's past is being shown while they are living their present lives. I don't wanna spoil the show, but hope I encourage readers to watch the show.

Disclaimer: There should be no spoilers in this article. I don't own any of the photos or gifs. This article was written in my opinion. Some of the photos put in this article are from a site that contains spoilers about the show.

1. The show's premise is great.

The tv show's poster nuff' said.

2. The characters

The all don't fit stereotypes. The actors hold their own when bringing their character to life.

3. The writers

They are amazing, and I'm not just saying that cause they favorited a tweet that I tagged them in. They write really good episodes and make people feel things. They don't rush storylines.

4. The episodes

They are meaningful. The episodes don't send you into a confused mode because of the flashbacking and flash forwarding. They make you feel the *feels*.

5. Realness

The show is real in a sense that everyone can relate to the storylines of the characters. People can relate to family and personal issues. The family's lives aren't fixed by the end of the show.

Hopefully you feel inclined to watch this show. It'll hit you in the *feels*, but you won't regret it. the gifs below show you how you'll feel after watching the show.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
