Just in case you have not seen the "This is Us" Super Bowl episode or the following episode, do not keep reading! This week's episodes have been heartbreaking, touching, real and everything the show has always been. It's the most real and raw television show I have ever seen. I would be lying if I said I had not cried during every single episode at least once.

Yet this week's episodes are particularly gut-wrenching because we finally see how Jack died. He was his usual, lovable, heroic self and being the wonderful dad that he is when we saw him selflessly save his entire family. Even after he made it out of the house, he seemed to be okay, but he died in the hospital. This family has something anyone can relate to. There is at least one aspect of the show that everyone can relate to. I relate to multiple, but there's something for everyone. The actors really put their heart and soul into their characters and each and every scene.

After so many episodes of suspension and so many fan theories, nothing could prepare me for the imminent death that was to come. Jack was such a wonderful dad and a beautiful soul who, despite his flaws, always tried to do the best he could and give so much love. Watching the funeral scene was definitely one of the worst scenes because you could feel the pain of Kevin, Kate and Randall losing their father and Rebecca mourning her husband while trying to be strong for her kids. If you've ever lost someone, this episode will break you even more than it already does.

On a happier note, Dr. K comes back to comfort Rebecca and we get to listen to his wise words once more and his beautiful advice that always comes back to making lemonade from sour lemons. We also hear the story of the Pearson family car and why that car means so much and will continue to be important for the Pearsons as they go on.

"This is Us" has such beautiful story lines about family, love, heartache and life overall. While this past chapter ended on a sad note, viewers should be excited and waiting for what amazing stories the writers are going to bring us next.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
