Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia star in NBC's latest hit show "This Is Us". The show documents a unique family's struggles and laughs over the course of a few decades. Here are the Boston University Schools as characters from "This Is Us!"

1. SED: Jack Pearson

A hard worker who is good with kids, Jack is a true family man at heart. He frequently makes sacrifices for the greater good of his family. Much like SED students, Jack accepts his children for who they are and believes in the importance of diversity.

2. SHA: Toby Damon

Toby's sense of humor immediately makes people feel comfortable. SHA students aim to create a welcoming atmosphere where people can rest and enjoy a nice meal. Toby also loves to eat, so SHA foodies rejoice.

3. CFA: William Hil

Young at heart, William is musically oriented and plays the piano with ease. He is a skilled songwriter and poet. William has made some mistakes but he is a hard worker who only gets smarter with age.

4. CGS: Kevin Pearson

An actor in a comedic sitcom called "The Manny," Kevin moves to New York city to audition for a broadway show in hopes that people will finally take him seriously. Despite people constantly underestimating him because of his less than serious television role, he is a highly capable actor. Kevin is still finding his place in the world, which resembles CGS students who are in the midst of deciding what to major in.

5. SAR: Beth Pearson

Married to Randall. A maternal figure and part-time "nurse", Beth helps take care of William when he gets sick. She cooks, cleans, and runs her household in an organized manner.

6. CAS: Rebecca Pearson

CAS students have a wide variety of interests and talents. Jack's wife Rebecca totally would have been in CAS if she attended BU. An intelligent singer and mom who is eager to broaden her horizons, Rebecca learns something new every day.

7. COM: Kate Pearson

Kate can talk someone off the ledge when they are feeling sorry for themselves or prevent others from making bad decisions. An excellent communicator, she is close with almost everyone in her family and handles conflict well.

8. ENG: Tess Pearson


Randall and Beth's eldest daughter, she is a fast learner and a good student. Tess is great at chess and wise beyond her years. She is a rule-follower and has the logical mind of an engineer.


9. Questrom: Randall Pearson

A business man with a knack for numbers, Randall is one of the most complex and likable characters on the show. Frequently found wearing a suit, his seemingly uptight demeanor dissipates when he is around close family and friends. Similar to the students in Questrom, Randall harbors workaholic tendencies.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
