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.

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!
