Why You Should Be Watching "This Is Us"
CP Entertainment

When I first saw the commercials for a new show called "This Is Us" I was instantly intrigued. Simply put, the show is about five people; Rebecca, Jack, Randall, Kate, and Kevin. You follow them through times in their life and see them at their best and at their worst. I don't want to go into too much detail about the show, because I hope you'll want to watch it after reading this.

This show is brilliant and I can guarantee by the end of the first episode you'll be hooked. The very end of the first episode reveals a twist you definitely won't see coming, unless you've read spoilers or who have friends that like to ruin things for you. All I'm going to say is that these five people are connected in some way and you get to see that in the first episode.

It has friendship, family, romance, and everything in between. When looking at people's lives you obviously get to see their relationships, but out of all the shows I've watched, I've never seen a show balance all these different kinds of relationships so well before. They don't focus on friendship like "Friends" or focus on family like "Parenthood." It represents every relationship you've ever had or will have.

It represents real life and real things you would experience in your life. It shows struggles with alcoholism and rocky relationships. It shows raw emotion when it comes to love lives. It shows corny jokes shared with family and friends. It shows the growth of family and different kinds of relationships.

"This Is Us" is in my opinion the best new show on television and you should be watching it because this is us, all of us.

The next episode of "This Is Us" airs November 15th at 9pm on NBC.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
