Shows cut before their prime

Value Of Breaking In
Fanart TV

In 2011, I was introduced to an amazing TV show named "Breaking In." This show followed the hilarious antics of a security corporation that's sole purpose is to test security systems by breaking into their client's buildings and hacking their networks. The show only lasted for two seasons, until canceled by FOX, and the question I have is, Why???

Fox has a history of creating shows, then canceling them, with some of these shows being picked up by other networks, but most pass under the radar and never again see the light of day. Even deserving shows such as Breaking In.

Networks do this in an effort to sell possible shows to other networks, but keeping some of the rights in order to gain more profit, getting money for the sale AND for each episode that the show may bring. In theory, this is a fantastic idea. It allows networks to share show ideas and to use each other for profit. Win-win for everyone involved.

Except many times, a show will turn out to be fantastic, being well-written and involving talented actors. Yet the show will be cut in the first or second season, leaving their viewers quite upset. This has happened to many good shows, such as Arrested Development and Better Off Ted. While we can now enjoy these shows due to movie-streaming apps such as Netflix or Hulu, the likelihood of these shows being picked back up is practically zero.

That being said, I challenge you to search Netflix, to scour Hulu, and to investigate Amazon Prime for these unfortunate shows. Watch the few seasons created and enjoy them for the charm they posses. I can guarantee you will not regret it.

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.
