If you haven't heard of comedian John Mulaney, then your life is a sore disappointment.

Okay, not really, but he really is a fantastic comedian and human being, so here are the seven best things about John Mulaney, just in case you're not totally convinced.


1. He has a Tumblr all about his current Broadway gig, his wife and his dog. He likes to keep his fans close!

2. He attended Georgetown University as an English literature major and performed in an improv comedy group on campus as a freshman.

3. He is responsible for the famous Saturday Night Live character of Stefon (played by Bill Hader), which gave him some major recognition for his incredibly witty comedy writing.

4. He has incredibly successful stand-up comedy specials, including "The Top Part," "New in Town" and "The Comeback Kid" ("New in Town" and "The Comeback Kid" can be found on Netflix, and it highly advised that you watch them if you haven't already).

5. He and his wife (Annamarie Tendler) are proud parents an adorable french bulldog named Petunia.

6. He wrote a show with his friend and fellow comedian Nick Kroll and they got it on Broadway for a limited engagement, which is a major feat for the exposure of stand-up comedy.

7. He is a genuinely kind, relatable guy who has an acute understanding of comedy and his audiences.

Tickets for "Oh, Hello on Broadway" at the Lyceum Theatre can be found at Broadway.com, running now until January 22nd, 2017.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
