8 Reasons 'This Is Us' Is The Best Show On TV Right Now
Hulu

NBC’s hit drama This Is Us is an absolute must watch for everyone, even if you think it’s not your kind of show, it is. It’s everyone’s kind of show. For the few people who don’t have a clue what This Is Us is about, it is about the Pearson family and their lives leading up to the present and what is currently going on in their lives now. What really hooks you in is how real the story is and feels. Many TV shows tend to go overboard with the drama to the point it is unrealistic, This Is Us does not at all do that. Everything that happens in the show is something that can happen to anyone on any given day.

1. Justin Hartley

Seriously, just look at him. What’s not to like?

2. Kate’s relatable struggle with her weight

She has had her strong and weak moments in this battle, but she believes in herself. Something I can’t even say for myself all the time. It is something that many people who are trying to live a healthier lifestyle can relate to all too well.

3. Randall’s need to be perfect

This is something I resonate with especially. I have always been the person who wants to be perfect to myself and to others, and that’s how Randall is. He never wanted people to know when he was struggling when things got hard when he just couldn’t manage anymore. Randall wanted everyone to see him as the adopted kid with the now perfect life, with the perfect job and the perfect wife and the perfect kids that he put himself in harm’s way trying to achieve this unrealistic sense of perfection.

4. Jack is literally the most perfect man in the world

They even say in the show his one flaw was his drinking problem, which was something he worked so hard to beat. He kept fighting every day for his family. Even though they did not have a lot, Jack did everything he could to try and give them the world.

5. The Big Three are absolutely adorable (past and present)

The nickname "The Big Three" is perfect in itself. They are always there for each other even when times get tough for one of them personally. They know more about each other than anyone else will even know about them.

6. The relationship between Kevin and Kate (sorry Randall)

Kevin and Kate definitely have the ideal brother-sister relationship. They know every little thing about each other, they want to be there for each other in every aspect of one another’s lives. Even when they fight, you can tell how much it pains the both of them to be away from one another.

7. The light that is Toby

Toby is who I like to think of as our comic relief character. Sometimes in TV shows that are focused on drama like this one, it is nice to have someone to bring a happier lighter tone with them, and that is Toby for This Is Us. Toby tends to hold a more positive attitude than the rest of the Pearson family, which is a nice break to have every now and then.

8. Literally the show as a whole

Absolutely everything about it is a reason to watch. So just watch it.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
