5 Shows You Can Watch And Turn Off Your Brain

During quarantine time, a lot of us film majors all had one few thoughts in mind. How we are all going to survive without movie theatres being open. It also presented an opportunity for us. To catch up on some movies we've always wanted to watch but haven't had the time to. However, this Coronavirus has myself and several others completely stressed out and maybe we don't need a movie to remind us of our troubles. These are a few shows you can watch and you don't have to think about that will get your mind off of things for a while.

1. i Carly

Most everyone reading a Missouri State Odyssey article remembers iCarly. It's a staple in a lot of our childhoods. Last year I rediscovered the show one day because I needed something on the TV while I studied that didn't demand a lot of attention. The show held up a lot more then I was anticipating and it got quite a few laughs from me. It's mindless stupid humor at its best and a nostalgic look at the 2000's, a much simpler time for most of us.

2. Impractical Jokers

I did a whole episode on Impractical Jokers so I'll keep this short. This show is almost always playing on Tru TV and its just four buddies daring each other to do stupid things. It's just such a fun time to see the ridiculous antics of these jokers.

3. LEGO Master Builders

This is a gameshow currently on Fox right after The Masked Singer (which I hate with a burning passion). I don't care about American Idol or The Bachelor or anything like that- but man I'm invested in LEGO Master Builders. I get that this show gets really hokey sometimes but the builds are amazing and the teams are so likable.

4. Encore

This show is on Disney Plus right now and it's a reality show about people coming back to preform an Encore of a show they did in High School. I was a theatre kid in High School so this show always makes me happy and remember really good memories. This show is as sappy and sentimental as you can get and you know what, I need a little bit (or a lot of bit) of sentimentality right now.

5. The Goldbergs

This show is a sitcom that has been playing on ABC for years now and it's just delightful. Each episode hits the exact same beats but you know what, I kinda love it. You always know what you are gonna get with this show. You'll get a few laughs and a few moments that will warm your heart. You will also get some great 80's movie references and I will just be real here, I relate too much to Adam Goldberg and his aspirations to be a filmmaker.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
