Why You Should Watch "Grown-ish"
Freeform

Last year, ABC announced the development of a Black-ish spinoff that would follow Zoey Johnson (portrayed by Yara Shahidi) as she embarked on the next chapter of her life, college. The series was officially picked up by Freeform in May with the title "college-ish" (later changed to "grown-ish").

After its premiere on January 3, grown-ish held nothing back. Tackling issues many students entering college face today, parties, drugs, and sex were just a few of the issues grown-ish touched on in it's first three episodes.

Just like Black-ish explored what it means to be black and the issues they face in today's society, grown-ish explores the problems facing young people and the pressure put on them. Grown-ish gives an honest portrayal of what college is like. The parties, the late nights trying to finish assignments, and other activities that litter college campuses nationwide.

Grown-ish is one of the most relatable shows on TV today. Featuring a diverse cast, an accurate sense of what it is like to be a young person in today's society, and a no-holds-bar approach to the issues they face, grown-ish proves to be one of Freeform's best shows to date.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
