What "How I Met Your Mother" Means To Me
R News

When I was in high school, I was introduced to "How I Met Your Mother" (HIMYM) for the first time. Over the next couple of months, it became one of my absolute favorite TV shows. Now, I have watched the show four times and I'm working on my fifth way through. Every time I finish it, I take a couple weeks, and then start it all over again. It's absolutely my favorite TV show of all time and it I don't think I will ever get tired of watching it.

HIMYM is a way for me to bond with the people in my life, and honestly is a big connection to the people I consider closest to me. My best friend and I bonded over our deep love for the TV show before we ever were friends. It was honestly one of the reasons we even stayed friends. My current boyfriend and I bonded over our mutual love for the show when we first met, and still do until this very day.

When I joined a sorority, I was really worried about finding a great Big. The day I met my Big I knew that I wanted her to be mine because of how much she liked HIMYM and that she had seen the entire show. All these people in my life are amazing, but one of the reasons I thought they were so awesome was because of their love for HIMYM.

I watch HIMYM when I'm sad. When I have a bad day I come home and watch HIMYM and it makes me happy again. When I have a good day I watch HIMYM because it makes me laugh and makes my day even better. When I hang out with people I care about we watch HIMYM because they either love HIMYM too, or I love them enough to share HIMYM with them. One of my really good friends from high school goes to the same college as me. My freshman year I was able to convince her to watch the entire show and she thoroughly enjoyed it.

My favorite part about finding fellow HIMYM fans is when you can bond over iconic scenes in the series. Everyone who's a true fan knows the hilarity of slapsgiving, the heartbreaking emotion when Robin does her one episode of "How I Met Your Father," and how you honestly want to strangle Lily just a little bit when she goes to San Francisco and leaves Marshall. I don't think anything can replace all the little details I know about the show and the crazy lines that are forever burned in my brain. "Not good enough!" is something I just can't help but say. And there are so many little jokes like that that I can't help but smile about when I think of it.

I don't think watching one show over and over is a bad thing. I honestly can't picture my life without HIMYM because of all the wonderful things it taught me. Also, because of all the times it has been a constant source of laughter in the rocky and difficult times. I know I will never stop watching "How I Met Your Mother."

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.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
