Now Showing: Modern Family

In the month of May, I've been looking for a tv show that could fill the Park and Recreation-shaped hole in my heart. And although Community did an okay job, it wasn't what a fully needed. Then I stumbled upon a golden gem: Modern Family.

Truth be told, I watched half of the first season at least three to four years ago and I stopped somewhere in between episodes 6 and 7. But then I found the strength to finish all of the seasons, including the latest one and now it's one of my favorite shows of all time. A close second to Parks and Rec!

I really love this show because the writing is impeccable. I laugh in every single episode, and sometimes even cry. These characters have a special place in my heart right now and I hope they'll never stop filming.

Favorite episodes:
Season 1 - My Funky Valentine, Hawaii, Family Portrait
Season 2 - Earthquake, Caught in the Act, Manny Get Your Gun
Season 3 - Dude Ranch, Little Bo Bleep, Baby on Board
Season 4 - Arrested, Fulgencio, Games People Play
Season 5 - Suddenly, Last Summer; Las Vegas, Australia, The Wedding
Season 6 - The Day We Almost Died, Connection Lost, Crying Out Loud

Getting my life together at sixteen (spoiler alert: it sucks)

      I hate how people have high expectations of me. I'm sixteen year old, for crying out loud! I'm allowed to make mistakes here and there because I'm still developing; I'm still learning. The pressure of being an incoming senior feels like such a burden because all everyone thinks about is college. "What college/s are you applying for? What's your course?" I. Don't. Know. And I think that's fine. I believe that someone should be able to carefully choose what they want to be when they grow up. There shouldn't be any rush because it's something you have to be completely sure of.

      The fact that so much people are counting on me makes it even harder, because you're not only thinking of yourself anymore. But you know what? I'm not going to comply with their standards because what I want to be doesn't need to involve other people making decisions for me.

      For the past few months, I've been inclined over and over again to achieve things I don't even give a damn about and only now I've noticed how unhappy I actually am. And then I realized, I'm only sixteen. I'm allowed to take my time and make my own damn decisions because I have the right to.
