13 Reasons 'Catfish: The TV Show' Is Just As Relevant Now As It Was 6 Years Ago

I promise not all of them are about Max's hair.

'Catfish: The TV Show'

Some shows seem to be made almost exclusively for the purpose of reruns. Whether it's for a day that you're feeling under the weather or for those first few days of break after a long semester, shows like "America's Next Top Model" take the cake. One of my favs for days like this is "Catfish: The TV Show." A loyal fan since the very beginning, while new episodes are exciting, there's something about the classics that are really comforting. Six years into the show's premiere, some things keep reeling me back in.

1. Max's hair

UGH.

2. Nev's wife and daughter

So cute and so supportive!

3. Max's tiny camera

Seriously, does that thing even record?

4. Max's progressive t-shirts

From "Black Lives Matter" to "The Future Is Female," my little liberal heart is always so happy to see the support.

5. The boys' advocacy for mental health treatment

Whenever someone reveals that they are struggling, the boys are the first to let them know that there is no shame in getting help. After all, hurt people hurt people.

6. LGBTQ+ friendly AF

There's probably just as many queer couples on the show as straight couples. Hey, dishonesty doesn't discriminate.

7. Seriously, Max's hair

I just really think this one deserves a second point.

8. The chance for authenticity and the ability to change

There's always time to start over.

9. The boys' bromance

Need I say more?

10. They came to my hometown once!

Any amount of attention Rochester can get is a step in the right direction.

11. But they know that somehow, they'll always end up back in Texas

Is there something in the water there?

12. The music is always on point

Usually indie tunes from underground artists, the soundtrack always matches up with the moment perfectly.

13. Whether it's a happy ending or not, the boys will be there with arms wide open

More often than not, things go awry once the person behind the profile is revealed. But it's hard to stay too bummed with these two sweethearts promising that all will be well.

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.
