" Family Guy" is one of the best and most interesting adult comedies. Every character is truly interesting and has their own unique quirks. Peter is just a terrible person. Lois is secretly dark and covers it with a her friendly exterior. Meg is unbearably mediocre. Chris is painfully dumb. Brian fakes sophistication and intelligence. And Stewie, Stewie is the best character in the entire show for a variety of reasons.

1. His keen ability to sense the need for a musical break.

Stewie, as demented as he is, has a keen sense for breaking into song and choreographed dance. These songs are always pertinent and make the show that much more interesting.

2. His offhand references to composers and Broadway shows.

There is nothing better than an offhand reference to Gershwin. His keen ability to incorporate a musical and all its key numbers into an episode makes the show that much more exciting, and the parodies of musical numbers are always spot on and so enjoyable to listen to.

3. His ability to call his family out for their crap.

There is no member of the Griffin family who could escape criticism and Stewie is the perfect medium to deliver those criticisms. Chris is dumb. Meg is boring. Brian is pretentious. And Lois a hypocrite. Frequently, as an audience member you feel inclined to make these feelings known and no one could voice that - except Stewie. This is his function as a character and it makes the show that much more interesting and funny.

4. His intolerance toward all of Peter's annoying idiosyncrasies.

There is no other character that can tell Peter what a terrible person he is. It is this ability that makes Stewie so helpful and his offhand bashing of Peter makes Peter's stupidity almost palatable.

5. His continual quest for world domination.

Stewie's character has these interesting intense subplots that make the show really wonderful and make Stewie's character have that much more depth and sophistication.

6. His oddities.

Be it his interest in crossdressing juxtaposed with his odd interactions with women Stewie's character has funny little quirks that make him interesting and make his role in the show that much more important.

Stewie is by far the most interesting and complex character on Family Guy and he makes the show so much more interesting and fun to watch.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
