“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.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
