Dancing with the Stars’ Tango with Irrelevancy
Once revered as one of the greatest reality television shows of all time, Dancing with the Stars now faces a tall order to stay relevant in the age of streaming and decline of cable TV.

As a first-year student, it is reasonable to prepare for this type of environment, but is that the reality? Fortunately enough, I believe this to be a myth. On the contrary, I have found that professors encourage inclusivity and understanding. Despite this comforting fact, there is still action that can be taken to form a good relationship with your professor.
