Why You Should Be Watching Crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Crazy Ex-girlfriend is an American comedy TV series that runs on the CW Network. It is an amazing show to watch as it deals with very serious topics in an informative, but a comedic way. It is about a lawyer named Rebecca Bunch who moves from New York to California to pursue happiness and an ex-boyfriend of her's that made her truly happy. She deals with growing up and understanding more about herself and the feelings of those around her.

Here are 5 reasons why you should watch Crazy Ex-girlfriend:

1. The crazy characters

The cast of characters in this show is superb. Every character is dynamic, quirky, and wildly entertaining. Daryl Whitefeather, the character pictured here, is a lawyer who has the happiest personality and the biggest heart. He loves his employees and loves to have fun. He is also very wise and understanding, a necessary trait when dealing with the main character, Rebecca Bunch.

2. The epic musical numbers

One thing Crazy Ex-Girlfriend does very right is the over the top, hilarious and educational musical numbers. Whenever the main charcter has to have something explained or she makes a discovery about herself, Rebecca and the characters near her all break out in song with a choreographed routine and props.

3. Brilliant storytelling

The storylines in Crazy Ex-Girlfriend are engaging and all connected. There are some plot holes, as there are in any show, but each storyline seems to add something major to the story. There are no small characters, everyone has a decent amount of backstory that adds to the show. Also, the writers seem to never shy away from topics that are awkward or controversial, including the topic of period sex. Seriously, there's a whole musical number about that one......

4. Representation of LGBTQ+ community

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Yes

Giphy

This show also has quite a few characters and scenes that are positive for the LGBTQ+ community. There are three main characters who are in the community, with one being gay and two being bisexual. There are also scenes in the show that deal with characters being LGBTQ+, from trying to go on dates to coming out. Also, the characters are not all stereotypes as most LGBTQ+ characters are in media. One gay man is a smart, bodybuilder who like older guys.

5. Serious discussion of mental health

Sad

Giphy

Lastly, a major component of Crazy Ex-girlfriend is mental health and taking care of yourself. The main character Rebecca has her own share of mental health issues and throughout the show she learns about them and learns to care for her mental health through therapy, antidepressants, and necessary coping methods. The show also goes through Rebecca's journey of learning how to function with it in society.

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.
