"The Good Place" is a show of not only life and death, but it explains all the in-betweens. The show has humor, sadness, romance, raunchiness, and a unique outlook on what happens after we die. All in all, it is forkin' real, and that's why we love it the most.

1. It makes us want to be good.

I don't know about you, but I have seen so many shows that cover the topic of "heaven and hell". However, I have never seen one that covers it quite like "The Good Place". This show explains that the only way you get into the good place after you pass is if you were a good person on Earth.

This concept is so amazing to me. Instead of having to be blessed under religion, it focuses on morals and what mark you leave on Earth. Since watching this show, it has made me think really hard about my decisions and whether or not they are kind. It makes you want to be a good person!

2. It's simply hilarious.

How can you not laugh at this show? It's so forkin' funny! "The Good Place" is just one of those shows that is simply hilarious. With all the witty lines and crazy things that happen, it will for sure make you laugh.

The show also makes you look on the brighter side of life. When things get a little too tough, laugh it out or crack a joke. That's what they thrive on in "The Good Place".

3. The twist and turns will have you shocked.

This show doesn't start out like any other show. You don't find out what the whole plot even is until the ending of the first season. When it starts, you do not even know that the good place is actually the bad place in disguise. Finding that out blows your mind.

But it doesn't end there. With all the resets on their afterlife, the love triangles, and the plots, you honestly never know what is going to happen next.

4. Chidi and Eleanor.

Anyone who knows Chidi and Eleanor knows that they are complete opposites. But for some reason, it works. The two start out hating one another, but soon, they learn to love and appreciate one another. The thing we love about them most of all is that no matter how many times they lose each other, they always fall madly in love again.

Let's be honest, who doesn't love a good romance?

5. It shows that people can change.

Last but not least, the main reason we love "The Good Place" is the turnaround that the characters make. Every single character does a 360 in this show, even Micheal, who is a literal demon. It shows that, with just a little push in the right direction, you can change immensely.

All in all, "The Good Place" is an amazing, real, and moving show. It inspires you to get out of your head and start living a more positive and carefree life!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
