If you're a fan of A Walk To Remember's, Mandy Moore, and Gilmore Girls', Milo Ventimiglia, I highly suggest watching the both of them in the new anticipated dramedy This Is Us. A TV show created by the same people who created the wonderful comedy Crazy, Stupid, Love. A show about many stories that intertwine with each other.

When I saw it the first time, I did not know that the stories connected. However, when I watched it again, I really understood the stories. The first thing er learn is that Jack and Rebecca a married couple is expected triplets. But they lose a baby during the delivery. Next, we meet Randal who finds his birth father who left him at a fire station when he was just a baby. Then we meet Kate and Kevin who are brother and sister. Kevin is an actor who hates his job and who is trying to find his way in life. His sister Kate, is struggeling to lose weight.

By the end of the pilot, you understand everything that happened in the episode. Jack and Rebecca had three children: Kate and Kevin, and they adopted Randal. The timing of the stories that all connect and the stories you see, are in the past (when the kids were babies and Jack and Rebecca were new parents) but the characters Kate, Kevin, Randal, and Jack all have the same birthday and Kate, Kevin and Randall's 36th birthday is present time and Jack and Rebecca's stories is in past time. The triplets stories are present time. I loved watching this show. Its very heartwarming and relatable. Its emoitional and real. I'm excited to see what happens in this show. If you're looking for a new show to watch, I highly reccommend This Is Us.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
