5 Reasons Why ABC Shouldn't Have Cancelled 'Nashville;
seriable

Have you ever religiously watched a show for over 4 seasons and then suddenly it gets cancelled?

The worst.

That's what happened to over 4 million viewers when ABC announced that they would be canceling "Nashville" after it's series finale, which aired May 25, 2016. Here are 5 reasons why ABC shouldn't have cancelled "Nashville:"


1. The actors' chemistry was actually really good.

It's no surprise that Golden Globe nominee Connie Britton would act amazingly alongside anyone. However, her on-screen nemesis played by Hayden Panettiere was the perfect fit. They played two country artists who never quite see eye to eye. Other superb actors include Charles Esten and Clare Bowen.


2. Storylines were just getting started.

One of Nashville's greatest strengths were the storylines. The various scenes surrounding real, heavy subjects were some of the greatest I've seen in a show today. The dramas within family dynamics and lies being exposed seemed to carry on throughout the series.

Highlight moments:
Juliette's mental breakdown
Will coming out to Nashville


3. The series is already in talks for a revival.

It was announced on May 26, 2016 by Lionsgate Productions that over 5 networks have reached out to discuss possibilities for a fifth season on a different network. It's not yet been confirmed, however it's been told that the producers of Nashville have a special long-term deal with the actors should the show continue.


4. It started a conversation about homophobia in country music.


In seasons 4 and 5, Nashville tackled the lingering questions surrounding homophobia in country music. On the show, we follow the story of Will Lexington (Chris Carmack) who comes out as gay to all of the world. Of course, he receives some backlash and goes through everything we would expect to happen if that should occur anytime soon. Whether it was positive or negative, the show definitely sparked up a conversation.


5. The music was actually really good.

Over the four seasons, Nashville showed us that not only could the cast act, but they could also sing. Check out Lennon and Maisy who play Rayna James' daughters:


The show had their own songwriters that worked alongside the producers to create the perfect sound to accompany the series' tone.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
