Why You Should be Watching "This Is Us"

If you are looking for a heartwarming, edge-of-your-seat kind of T.V. show, look no further; This Is Us is for you. This Is Us follows three couples, specifically five people, throughout their life showing their love and commitment to one another when life gets tough. This show has some crazy twists and turns which keep you wanting more. I would explain exactly those moments, but I don't want to write any spoilers! As the show progresses, you're introduced to the characters played by Milo Ventimiglia (Jack), Mandy Moore (Rebecca), Chrissy Metz (Kate), Justin Hartley (Kevin), and Sterling K. Brown (Randall) who with their unique personalities and character traits/quirks make memorable impressions. Each character has their own hardships they deal with: Jack and Rebecca dealing with the loss of a child, Kate dealing with her weight/body image and fear of love, Kevin wanting more out of his life, and Randall holding on to the pain of being abandoned as a baby. This show's main theme, however, is family and how important it is to be thankful and grateful to one another, even when life gets in the way. If you were a fan of Modern Family and Parenthood, this show is exactly what you are looking for.

Here are a couple stills from the production to get you excited about watching this show:

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
