5 Network Comedies You Should Already Be Watching
Jens Kreuter

Sometimes all you want to do after a long day at work or class is curl up in bed and laugh for an hour or so. These comedies are perfect for a low-key afternoon or for marathon watching late at night.

1. "Brooklyn Nine-Nine"

This FOX show is the perfect cross between a crime show and a workplace comedy. Michael Schur's brilliant ensemble comedy provides the audience with a fit of laughter every episode. Andy Samberg, Andre Braugher, Terry Crews, and the entire rest of the cast give standout comedic performances that will make you cry laughing every week.

2. "The Mindy Project"

This program may have ended as a Hulu Original now, but it started out on FOX. Mindy Kaling provides us with her brilliant comedy time and time again. Kaling describes her character as a woman of color that looks at the world with all of the privilege of a white man, and it works so well. This show did just come to an end after six great years, but you can still watch it all on Hulu.

3. "The Goldbergs"

The brilliant comedic mind of Adam F. Goldberg brings us this hilarious family comedy on ABC about his own life growing up. Thi show is especially great if you're feeling nostalgic because it's filled with 80s throwbacks and nerdy references. Wendi McLendon-Covey leads the show brilliantly and never fails to make me laugh.

4. "The Good Place"

Michael Schur blessed us again with "The Good Place" another hilarious ensemble comedy, this time about life after death. Kristen Bell and Ted Danson shine on this NBC program and help make the show that much better.

5. "Great News"

From the mind of Tracey Wigfield comes this hilarious workplace comedy that focuses on a strong mother-daughter relationship and its wholly entertaining dynamics. Also, Nicole Richie is hysterical in it. You can catch new episodes weekly on NBC.

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.
