Ever Think of Watching Your Childhood Favorite as an Adult? Well I did.

I've invested two months rewatching Roseanne and I have no regrets.

Ever Think of Watching Your Childhood Favorite as an Adult? Well I did.
TV Guide

Do you remember all the shows you watched when you were younger? I know I for sure don’t, partly because 7-year-old me had the attention span of a fly and also because she didn’t have 60 pages of reading and an essay to write. Of all the shows I watched, the most memorable to me was "Roseanne". "Roseanne" was a sitcom that aired from 1988 to 1997 and revolved around matriarch, Roseanne, and her family of 4. The show hilariously tackled tough topics such as financial hardship, sex, death, marriage, and plenty more. Among its many wins, the most notable was for a Golden Globe in 1993.

Thanks to Amazon Prime I’ve been reintroduced to the series and fallen in love with it all over again. I’m currently on season 7 of 9, and I’ve concluded that Roseanne was an unapologetic bad ass. She ruled her home with an iron fist, never allowing anyone to order her around. Young me was introduced to feminism at a young age, and for that, I am forever grateful.

The reboot of "Roseanne" is scheduled to air 2018 and the best way to describe my excitement is with a GIF of Roseanne and her husband Dan doing a jig:

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!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
