10 Reasons Why Empire Is Such a Successful TV Show

The TV show, Empire, was a surprise hit last year. It was a mid-season filler show, that was only supposed to be twelve episodes. What was created, however, was TV magic. The first episode premiered with 10 million viewers, and with each episode Empire gained more and more viewers. And by the season one finale, Empire brought in 17 million viewers. The second season premiere, that is just airing now on Fox, aired to a 16.9 million viewers. So why is everyone so obsessed with empire?

1. Cookie Lyon is one of the best characters on TV. With her one liners, and crazy antics EVERYONE loves Cookie.

2. One of the best one liners Cookie says is "Hey Boo Boo Kitty". I say this all the time, and I have no shame.

3. Cookie's outfits on the show are outrageous. Red Leather jumpsuit? Yup, Cookie wore it. She can pull off just about anything.

4. Jamal Lyon's voice from the angels. I could listen to any song he sings; it is musical gold.

5. Jamal and Hakeem collaborations are the best songs in the whole show. This song has been stuck in my head for a year!


6. THE WHOLE ENTIRE FIRST SEASON'S ALBUM IS SO GOOD. I mean, I personally listen to it when I am doing homework.

7. Yes, everything that happens in this show would never happen in real life. But, isn't that just another reason to love it?

8.Cookie and Luscious have great chemistry on screen. The best scenes in the show are when they're fighting with each other!

Fun Fact: They starred in a movie together called Hustle and Flow, also about the music business.



9. The celebrity guest stars on the show are insane. Everyone from Jennifer Hudson, Estelle, Ptibull, Becky G, Kelly Rolland to Chris Rock - all want to be a part of the empire.

10. By watching this show, you feel like you are a part of the crazy Lyon family.

LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
