If you watch "This is Us" weekly and have not seen the episode that came directly after the Super Bowl yet, I would stop reading now. This episode was probably the most intense one that the show has released thus far, and it is only going to get crazier.

First of all, airing this episode right after the Super Bowl was exactly the way to get to every mom, college or high school girl, or any other low key viewer of this emotional rollercoaster of a show that was waiting for it throughout the entire game. The excitement was definitely built up and this episode was able to live up to the hype for sure.

Up to this point, everyone has had their theories about how Jack dies, how it is Kate's fault, and how Rebecca is possibly supposed to deal with it and this episode answered almost all of our questions. Jack ends up going back into the house just to save Kate's dog (not worth it) and because of the mass amount of smoke in his lungs, he ends up having a heart attack and dying while Rebecca is at the vending machine getting him candy. Watching Rebecca find out about Jack's death and then immediately watching her have to tell her children was one of the hardest scenes I have ever had to sit through in all of my television watching experience.

As for Randall and family, this episode introduced us to an entire new generation. Just when we thought the writers were running out of ideas, they hit us with an entirely new generation for Randall's children. Throughout the entire episode we thought that the little foster boy was going to be apart of the Pearson family, but then the writers hit us with an absolute BOMB and we see that it is really a look into the future and the foster care agent? Oh yeah, that's Randall's oldest daughter Tess as a grown woman. I don't know how the writers keep doing it.

This episode destroyed me mentally and made me realize that I am never going to be able to predict anything that is coming for me with this show but that being said, I cannot wait to see what Tuesday has in store.

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.
