Keeping Up With The Watermelons: Season 1 Review
Kaetlin Lamberson

Season 1 of Keeping Up with the Watermelons has officially been filmed and premiered on Snapchat. In recap, Keeping Up with the Watermelon is a mini Snapchat reality series that follows the ever present drama with three roommates at Southeast Missouri State University. Kaetlin Lamberson is a psychic, Margaret Schauwecker worshiped a leaf, and Hannah Misenheimer never stops rolling her eyes.


The drama has yet to slow down. Schauwecker almost got "married", but then dumped the guy after not inviting Misenheimer, and Misenheimer said she was not thankful for Schauwecker at Thanksgiving time. There was also a more lighter epsiode that took place during Fall For Dance 2016 at the River Campus. As all three students are dancers, they were fixing their hair and makeup while jamming out. One lyric flub turned into every dancer and some faculty to give their opinions on what the true lyrics were. But lo and beyond, Kaetlin the psychic struck again by revealing the true line of the song by the end.

However, the drama really unfolded in the season finale. Filmed in two parts, we find out Schauwecker was accused of murder. When taken into the "police station," she blamed a lot of her antics and behaviors towards Misenheimer on "the Watermelons," which she never spoke aloud, only mouthing it towards the camera. In the second part, we knew we were in trouble with Kaetlin's psychic powers weren't strong enough for the situation. Taken place in a "court room," Schauwecker and Misenheimer are fighting against each other on a murder conviction. Both "lawyers" questioned each girl's antics throughout the season, and the producer even added in flashbacks from the season to refresh our memories.

But the real problem comes up with a Misenheimer look-a-like stumbles into court, yelling that the girl who was currently on the stand wasn't who she said she was! Did anyone see that coming?!

Then we find out that another person was killed, not just one, and the second victim was possibly Schauwecker's potential husband!!!

Since the conclusion of the season, I can hypothesize that Misenheimer will end up being convicted of the murders, it sounded like she essentially confessed to it. But which Misenheimer was the culprit?

There are too many questions that needed to be answered that wasn't answered since mid-season. We still don't know why Kaetlin is psychic, and we don't know why Misenheimer and Schauwecker hate each other (though it might have something to do with a jealousy issue concerning Schauwecker's fiance). But now more questions have been added to the mix. What's the story between these two Misenheimers? What will be the official outcome of the trial? Are we ever going to get any backstory to how any of this started?

This is definitely on over dramatic family. No matter what's going on, someone turns it into some kind of soap opera or sob story. It's starting to get a bit hard to follow, as there is a lot of information thrown out without us having any knowledge as to what happened before and what lead to the current moment. But that's how season one has to start with a mini series like this: upscale the drama way more to keep the viewers engaged, that way they will come back for the next season and see what, if any, questions will be answered. I guarantee that they won't disappoint their fans in season two (yes it's been confirmed, there is a second season!! I'm not just setting you up for nothing!)

Keeping Up with the Watermelons season 2 will premiere in the middle on January after the start of the spring semester, and continue to premiere new episodes every Sunday night on Snapchat. You can also find them on Twitter, where they will continue posting their weekly episodes once they disappear from Snapchat.

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.
