Everything. Everything is wrong with "Emily in Paris."

Disclaimer: This was all written based on a viewing of one episode because I value myself and wouldn't put my mental stability on the line to watch another episode.

I love TV shows and pretty much everything about television. I love the actors and actresses, the plot, the set, the fashion, and the soundtracks. Personally, I found it pretty hard to hate a TV show. That was until I stumbled across "Emily in Paris." This show is BAD, and not bad in a good way, bad in an awful way

My friends and I had been seeing stuff about "Emily in Paris" all of last weekend so we decided to watch it one Sunday night. We knew it would be kinda cringey but decided to watch anyway. Everyone was talking about it, so how bad could it be? Awful.

From the second I turned this show on, I knew it would be awful. This show is so terrible, I found myself audibly screaming in a room with other people.

1. The Acting

The acting in this show is a disgrace to actors everywhere. I thought Lily Collins was a queen, and to say I am disappointed in her choice to star in this show would be an understatement. She peaked with "The Blind Side" and should have never acted again. The rest of the actors were unrecognizable, and will hopefully continue that way. Every single character is a cliché, and not even in a good way, but in a horrendous way.

2. The Saturation

The saturation in this show is insane. I genuinely don't know who had control of this, but whoever did deserves to be fired and shunned into oblivion. I think the saturation was the one thing that really did it for me. How could you ruin Paris? This show managed to obliterate it. Think of a 13-year-old girl who just downloaded the VSCO app for the first time and uses "C1" on full capacity. That's the entire show.

3. The Clothes

Forget everything I said, the clothes were the worst part of this show. In all seriousness, they probably should have been the best part, but could not have gotten any worse. This twenty-something traveled overseas in black leggings, a crop top, and a red and black flannel for her new marketing job.

She was dressed as if she was going to the One Direction/ 5 Seconds of Summer 2014 Concert Series, not a PR agency in one of the high fashion capitals of the world. The following outfits were not much better. Imagine Forever 21, Express, Pac Sun, and Moschino having a love child.

Save your time with this awful series, and watch anything else. Anything. Greys Anatomy seasons 14-36, the last episode of Game of Thrones, Mike and Molly, and The Real Housewives of Potomac are all a better use of your time than this season of disrespect.

Au Revoir!

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

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

Bonus points if it is more than two.

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.

April Ludgate

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.
