If You Haven't Watched 'This is Us' Here Are 4 Reasons Why You Should

“This is Us” is a newer show that follows the up and downs of a typical, but unique family. It primarily focuses on the three siblings Kate, Kevin, and Randall but also their mom and dad Jack and Rebecca Pearson. This show consistently takes you on an emotional roller coaster that leaves you a sad mess eating ice cream, wondering when your Jack Pearson will be showing up. Here are a few reasons why you should stop everything and watch "This is Us."

1.The relatability

“This is Us” might be one of the most relatable shows out there. It describes the different aspects of family life in such a way that isn’t the typical cookie cutter show. “This is Us” takes on serious topics that many shows don’t like to talk about. For instance, the show takes on race, adoption, body image issues and drug/alcohol abuse. While not everyone may have the same problems as the Pearsons, you are bound to find one connection.

2. The drama

The drama of this show will keep you constantly wanting more. It seems whenever everything is going perfectly, something terribly awful happens and you are left with a broken heart and tears streaming down your face. You will be watching saying this can’t get any worse, but wait it can. Then somehow they all find a way to bounce back and grow as people and as cheesy as it sounds, that's beautiful.

3. The goals

I do not care what anyone says, I want a love as incredible, pure and honest as the love that the parents of “This is Us”, share. I mean the way Jack goes out of his way just to make his wife smile is the cutest thing. This show will make you stop looking for your Thomas Rhett and start looking for your Jack Pearson. Not to mention, Randall and his wife Beth are the ultimate modern "cool" mom and dad. I definitely want to be as cool as Beth when I grow up.

4. The inspiration

The way the characters preserve in this show is incredible. I constantly find myself thinking I wouldn’t know what to do after some of the things this family experiences. Where I would want to sit and cry these characters are constantly fighting to be better, improve themselves and grow. However not only is their perseverance inspirational, but the unconditional love that they feel for each other is something that we should all strive for. The acceptance and forgiveness are just incredible to witness.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
