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.

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
