5 Forgotten Reality Shows That Shaped TV Today, Ranked
MTV

In today's modern society, we have an unusual sensation called the Kardashians. Nobody is quite sure what the sensation is about them, but it seems as if they are here to stay. Today, we are going to break down the top reality TV shows of all time.

5. "Rob and Big"

"Rob and Big" premiered in 2006 and was an instant hit among the MTV audience. Rob is a professional skateboarder, and Big Black is his bodyguard. They move in together and go through the next two years making business moves, harassing Rob's cousin, Drama, and adopting puppies. This show is good for anyone looking for a family-friendly environment.

4. "Britney and Kevin Chaotic"

Britney Spears in 2004 was a wild pop star. From her first marriage with childhood friend Jason Alexander to her infamous video for "Toxic", winning her first marriage to her last, and her most recent marriage to Kevin Federline. This show chronicled her on her Onyx Hotel tour, where she brought Kevin along and showed the moment that leads up to their marriage and first child.

3. "Newlyweds: Nick and Jess"

This show was personally going to be my number one show on this list due to Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey's romance, but it didn't quite make it. "Newlyweds" followed this couple after their marriage in 2002 and helped boost Jessica's album sales. This show is infamous due to Jessica asking if the Chicken of the Sea tuna, is indeed tuna or chicken.

2. "The Challenge"

If you aren't familiar with Johnny Bananas, Cara Maria, or the infamous CT, then you are not a viewer and should catch up as soon as possible. "The Challenge", starting back in the year 2000, is now running on its 32nd season, excluding spin-offs ("Spring Break Challenge", "Challenge Vs. Stars"). This show is all about being athletic and being able to play politics. If you don't have a strong mental game while being able to climb up mountains and eat cow brains, then this show isn't for you.

1. "The Real World"

This show has made number one for obvious reasons. It has been on the air since 1994 and has been the most influential reality show to ever air. It's the first reality show to air a homosexual relationship, dealing with gender issues, racism, and much more. This show still airs today and isn't slowing down anytime soon.

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.
