A Watch Guide For 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia'

While I love every single episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (maybe excluding the awkward first season), there are some that stand out with their iconic-ness a bit more than the others. From Rum Ham to Cricket and his life story these are my top 10 must watch episodes, in order of season.

Most of the episodes in this "Must Watch" guide, have been taken to social media platforms and made into memes, let me not get ahead of myself though.

"The Gang Gets Held Hostage" (Season 3, Ep. 4)

In this one, the gang gets a surprise visit by the McPoyle's and the associated mischief that ensues. The gang except Frank are met at the door with their captures.

"Sweet Dee Has a Heart Attack" (Season 4, Ep. 10)

One of the most iconic memes from It's Always Sunny spawned from this episode. In a manic episode, Charlie ends up mapping the mail he was supposed to be sorting all along the walls in the mail room and crazily looks back at Mac.

“The Gang Wrestles for the Troops” (Season 5, Ep. 7)

In a money scheme inspired by Dee's pen pal from the Army, the gang arrange a wrestling match in which Frank, Mac, Dennis, and Charlie are all participated in. The iconic scene linked above is the walk up song for Mac, Dennis, and Charlie as "The Birds of War". This episode is also where Frank's quote from above originated from.

“The Gang Gets Stranded in the Woods” (Season 6, Ep. 11)

While on their way to a charity event in Atlantic City, the gang gets stranded in the woods and their antics ensue. Above is a clip from Mac explaining how he wanted to empress his childhood hero, Chase Utley.

“CharDee MacDennis: The Game of Games” (Season 7, Ep. 7)

Being the first episode centered around the five main characters and them only, they are confined to their boredom within the bar. The game is mainly a derivative from their college drinking antics and the last man standing wins. Frank had never played before and brings an interesting advantage to the table as a contributor on Mac and Charlie's team.

“The Maureen Ponderosa Wedding Massacre” (Season 8, Ep. 3)

Iconic. Just iconic. There is nothing else to say, you just have to go watch it.

“The Gang Saves the Day” (Season 9, Ep.6)

In this episode, the gang stumbles upon a stick-up and it's up to them to 'save the day'. Each member of the gang has a fantasy of what they would do to help, but only one can act.

“The Gang Beats Boggs” (Season 10, Ep. 1)

In this one, the gang attempts to drink 70 beers on their flight, a record set by Wade Boggs. Only two stand at the end of the episode, but you'll have to watch to find out who.

“Mac and Dennis Move to the Suburbs” (Season 11, Ep. 5)

Another endlessly iconic episode which resulted in the meme above. The title kind of speaks for its self.

“The Gang Goes to a Water Park” (Season 12, Ep. 2)

This is one of my favorites from the unique water slide scenes to the bond that Dennis makes with a young girl, showing her "the ropes" of scamming.

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.
