Warner Bros. Television

"The West Wing" ran on NBC from 1999-2006. It is honestly one of the best shows on Netflix, and everyone should watch it. It is a political drama, but it is full of amazing hysterical moments.

1. When in the first episode President Bartlet crashed his bike into a tree.

The whole series starts off with the senior staff of the white house had to deal with the President being in a bicycle accident.

2. When in the same episode, Sam tells his boss' daughter (Mallory) that he slept with a Call Girl.


3. Danny giving CJ a really thought-out gift, but the wrong kind.

Danny was hosting just trying to woo CJ and asked Josh what she likes. He obviously misunderstood.

4. When Josh told the press that the white house had a secret plan to fight inflation, all because CJ couldn't do the briefing.

It was hysterical and started a media frenzy that all happened because CJ had an emergency room canal.

5. When Toby came to visit CJ and she fell into a pool.

This episode was a flash back to see how everyone got involved in the Bartlet Campaign. This moment was gold.

6. When Josh found out he had "fans" who had a website dedicated to him, and he tried to interact with them.

His interaction turned his fan club against him. It confused him and led to this very accurate quote.

7. When Sam was getting whipped in a political debate by "Republican girl" Ainsley Hayes and he hoped Josh and Toby weren't watching, but they were.

This is one of my favorite moments in West Wing history. "Toby come quick Sam is his ass kicked by a girl." It was amazing.

8. Ainsley Hayes meeting the president while in her robe dancing

It was so awkward and funny. I identified so much with her in this scene. I also identify with this scene...

9. When Ainsley then gets a redo to meet the president, but freaks out and tries to go to the bathroom, but ends up in Leo's closet instead.

Literally me.

10. ANY TIME LORD MARBURY SHOWS UP AND CALLS LEO, GERALD

For some reason, this British drunk makes me laugh anytime he is on screen.

11. The turkey pardon that CJ was torn on, since she was given two to choose from, could only pick one and the other got eaten.

I mean, same President Bartlet. Same.

12. President Bartlet saying this to his wife after he won an argument.

Literally me anytime I win an argument.

13. When CJ was walking with Annabeth and made everyone laugh and make every tall person say "I relate."

The height distance is really unreal though, honestly.

14. When Leo really talked honestly about the debate in the meeting

That's politics sometimes... sadly.

15. Just this quote for Leo, no context needed.

16. When Leo would give his speech about Andrew Jackson and the reason behind Big Block of Cheese Day

17. The world map being inaccurate and making Josh and CJ question everything they know about life.

Honestly, though, this made me question everything I know about life too.

18. When Abby was real with CJ

Imagine one of the most powerful women in the world just asking you to go get drunk.

19. When Charlie had to give the President a wake-up call.

Waking up is hard, waking someone up is harder sometimes.

20. When Toby played a joke on Josh by paying a bunch of people to tell him they voted wrong

Josh became so worried and started freaking out.

These are only a few of my favorite. "West Wing" is one of the best shows, don't believe me, watch it yourself.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
