A Brief Review Of Fall's New TV Shows
It's Just About Write

One of my favorite parts about fall is seeing which new shows are debuting and whether or not they are worth watching. This fall has had quite a few shows premiering already, with some later premieres in mid October and November. Here is a round-up of some of the shows that have premiered, and my personal thoughts.

1. "Quantico"

This show was at the top of my list since I saw the preview. The first episode certainly lived up to the hype. It centers on Alex Parrish, an FBI trainee at Quantico, and her relationships with fellow trainees. The show jumps between the present, when they are at Quantico, and the future, where a terror attack occurred at Grand Central Station. The twist is that Alex is being framed for the attack and it's up to her to figure out which of her fellow classmates is responsible. Quantico airs Sundays at 10 p.m. on ABC.

2. "Life In Pieces"

Focused on a multi-generational family, this show has plenty of humor, but also many heartwarming moments. It feels almost like a blend of "Modern Family" and "Parenthood." With actors like James Brolin and Colin Hanks, this show won't disappoint you. "Life in Pieces" airs Mondays at 8:30 p.m. on CBS.

3. "Blindspot"

This one has an interesting premise. Jane wakes up in Times Square with no memory, and her entire body is covered in tattoos that turn out to be clues. She works closely with the FBI and helps them solve crimes, as she finds out more about why this happened to her. I liked the pilot, but we'll have to see where it goes. It could either be heading in a great direction, or fall flat as many "exciting" shows in the past have. "Blindspot" airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on NBC.

4. "The Muppets"

"The Muppets" was likely part of your childhood, but no worries - now it can be a part of your adulthood! The show has received critical response, since it is neither fully appropriate for young children, nor is fully geared towards adults. It's worth a watch for the celebrity guests such as Kerry Washington and Josh Groban. "The Muppets" airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.

5. "Scream Queens"

One of Ryan Murphy's creations, it is a humor-horror. The focus is on a person dressed in a red devil costume murdering a group of sorority girls and, by the end of the season, nearly everyone will be killed off. I didn't hate the first episode (it was technically two episodes) but by the third episode, I was over it. Give it a shot, but it is so overly dramatized, it's annoying. "Scream Queens" airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on FOX.

6. "Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris"

I loved this show when I saw it premiere! It is certainly bold, surprising and will leave you asking, "how is he able to do this on live television?" I think the fact that it is filmed live adds more excitement and having a different celebrity each week as the announcer is fun, too. The best way to describe it is as a variety show - a balance of a talk show, reality show, and "America's Got Talent." "Best Time Ever" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on NBC.

7. "Limitless"

Based on the fairly popular movie of the same name starring Bradley Cooper, the companion show has received a good response from critics. Jake McDorman stars as Brian Finch, who receives a drug that gives him 100 percent access of his brain. As a result, he becomes very useful in solving crimes. Bonus: In the pilot episode, when they flash back to his youth, one of his professors has a clipboard that says, "Ramapo College!" "Limitless" airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. on CBS.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
