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.

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
