If These 6 Reasons Can't Convince You To Watch "The Good Place," You're Going To The Bad Place

"The Good Place" is one of the funniest and most interesting shows to ever air on television. It follows Eleanor Shellstrop, a woman who has died and gone to “the Good Place" in her afterlife as a reward for everything she did on Earth. The catch? Eleanor didn't actually do any of the things people think she did, and was a pretty bad person when she was alive.

Season 4 airs this Thursday at 9pm EST, and if you haven't watched the show yet, here are 6 reasons why it should be in your Netflix queue.

1. It stars Kristen Bell

I'm not 100% sure that Kristen Bell is a real person. She's beautiful, talented, and cries over sloths. Who isn't in love with her?

2.  The humor is unique

@nbcthegoodplace on Twitter

Every writer on this show deserves an Emmy. You’ll often find yourself wondering, “how did somebody even THINK of that?”

3. The plot is unpredictable

@nocontexttgp on Twitter

I won't spoil anything, but let's just say you'll have no idea where it's going until you get there.

4. You'll learn about philosophy

@nocontexttgp on Twitter

Eleanor gets Chidi, a former professor of ethics and moral philosophy, to try to teach her how to be a good person. As Eleanor learns about famous philosophers and moral questions, we learn too (in the funniest way possible).

5. Janet

Janet is a source of all knowledge in the universe and also the best character on "The Good Place."

"Not a girl."

"Not a robot."

6. It’s a feel good show

@nocontexttgp on Twitter

Whenever I’m sad, I rewatch “The Good Place.” Whenever I’m happy, I rewatch “The Good Place.” No matter what, every episode leaves you with a smile on your face. (Except the Season 3 Finale. Come on guys, that one hurt.)

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
