In This Article:

I have absolutely no shame in admitting that I binged watched the first four seasons of this show in about a week. That's sad, I know. But, once you watch a few episodes of this series you will find yourself in the same position as me: on the couch, eating Halo Top ice cream and convincing yourself that 2 a.m. is not too late in the night for another episode because you just have to find out what happens with Sutton Foster's love life.

Most of you may not have heard of this show, but believe me when I tell you that this is one of the most underrated shows on television and here is why you should drop everything you are doing and watch episode one right now.

1. Sutton Foster is so adorable, but also SO RELATABLE

Sutton Foster plays the main character, Liza Miller, who is a 40-year-old woman that poses as a 26-year-old in order to land a job at a major publishing company. She is fun and clever and watching her navigate the crazy world of being a millennial in 2017 leads to some absolute hilarity. You'll adore her, trust me.

2. Two words: Nico Tortorella

Imagine a man that is rugged and tough on the exterior, but underneath lies a heart of gold. Imagine a man with a face and eyes that make you melt into your couch and make you want to scream "OMG he is so delicious" (my mom and I have both said this at least 10 times). That man is Nico Tortorella, a.k.a Josh. You will fall in love with him instantly and falling out of love with him is near to impossible. You're welcome.

3. Hilary Duff is a BOSS ASS BITCH

Hilary Duff's character on Younger, Kelsey, is everything you want to be; she doesn't take any shit from anybody, she runs her own imprint, and SHE NEEDS NO MAN (although she does have some devastatingly handsome men enter her life throughout the show just for shits and giggles).

4. Debi Mazar = the best friend you've always wanted

Debi Mazar plays Sutton Foster's best friend, Maggie, who has some of the best one-liners I have ever heard. She does not pull any punches and she is a lesbian goddess. You never know what she is going to do next and sometimes you really wish you did. Enjoy the wild ride that is Maggie. Also, she has the best name ever. Just saying.

5. Miriam Shor is EVERYTHING

Miriam Shor plays Diana, Sutton Foster's uptight, bitchy boss that you can love and hate all at the same time. She is the definition of sassy and smart and has some of the best necklaces on television. Her dead-panned delivery is impeccable and she knows what she wants and will stop at nothing to get it. Diana is goals.

6. Another 2 words: Peter Hermann

If you're into that whole silver fox thing, then you will fall in love with Peter Hermann, a.k.a Charles. He is the refined businessman who acts as the perfect foil to the hipster Josh. He also makes for some great eye-candy (not as great as Josh, but that's just my opinion), but he has a lot of baggage so be wary before you fall in love with him.

This show will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and honestly, I'm surprised that you have reached this point in the article and haven't already turned on your TV to start binge watching it. Season 5 premiered Tuesday, June 5th, so you better get a move on. Welcome to your newest obsession.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
