If the colder weather has you ready to stay in and watch some television, here are my five picks for shows that never go out of style.

How I Met Your Mother: In the year 2030, an architect named Ted Mosby sits down with his teenage son and daughter to recount the long, detailed story of how he met their mother. This American sitcom kicks off when Ted’s best friend and college roommate, Marshall Eriksen, gets engaged to his long-term girlfriend, Lily Aldrin. Seeing his best friends take the next step inspires Ted, a hopeless romantic, to go on his own quest to find his soulmate.

New Girl: After catching her boyfriend cheating on her, Jessica Day, an upbeat and quirky teacher, breaks up with him and moves into a spacious Los Angeles loft advertised on Craigslist. She discovers her new roommates are three single men. 

Sterling Point: This Prime Video original follows a 17-year-old New York City planner Annie Jacobson and her twin brother, Connor, whose structured lives unravel after they inherit a private island in Muskoka, Canada from their estranged grandfather Gordon. 

Gilmore Girls: Gilmore Girls follows Lorelai Gilmore, who becomes a mother at just 16, and her daughter Rory, in the charming, quirky fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. Their relationship is more like best friends or sisters than traditional parent and child.

Modern Family: This American mockumentary-style sitcom follows three interconnected, extended families living in suburban Los Angeles. The series explores modern parenting, marriage, cultural gaps, generational differences, and sibling dynamics, emphasizing that family is bound together by love and acceptance rather than just traditional structures.

Wake Forest '30

I am a first-year college student at Wake Forest University from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I am currently exploring my interests in writing, communication, and environmental issues. I have always enjoyed writing as a way to express my thoughts, share my experiences, and connect with other people. Through writing, I hope to continue developing my voice and telling stories that are relatable, meaningful, and honest.

Outside of academics and writing, I enjoy running, spending time with my friends and family, and exploring new places. I also love collecting small objects and keepsakes that remind me of specific people, places, and memories. I enjoy finding meaning in everyday experiences and noticing the stories behind things that might seem ordinary to someone else. I also enjoy meeting new people and hearing about their experiences and perspectives.

In the future, I hope to attend law school and pursue a career in environmental law. I am interested in how writing, communication, and advocacy can be used to make an impact on issues that matter. For now, I am excited to experience college, grow as a writer, and share my perspective through my articles. I’m excited to keep writing, learning, and sharing my experiences.
