Way too many TV shows get cancelled before they can wrap everything up perfectly (I’ll forever be sad about Julie and the Phantoms), or they go on for far too long and the endings are ruined (I’m looking at you, Supernatural). However, I’m here to talk about the shows that had the most satisfying endings, who got to say the perfect goodbyes. Warning: this article will contain spoilers.

There’s something incredibly comforting, yet often heart breaking, about coming of age films. They’re painstakingly relatable but always wonderfully reassuring, especially when you’re a young adult feeling like your life is spinning out of control. So, let’s dive into some of the best ones.

1. I don’t quite have the words to summarise how much I adore The History Boys. With all the anxieties of leaving school, as well as the moral dilemmas of creating a stand-out Oxbridge submission, the boys c

Wake up. Sit up. Stand up.

Look forward to the future. What’re you going to do? Who are you going to be? The future, your future, is in your hands.

Now, my dream is less solid, more of a haze It waves about in fro

I never used to think of myself as an anxious person. Aside from a bit of car sickness, I didn’t think I struggled with travelling. It wasn’t until I came to university that I realised how wrong I was.

For almost four years I’ve been making the tedious journey between Newcastle and Norwich, and every time I’m ill until I’m on the train. My energy spikes, I can’t sleep, I can’t eat, and I’m constantly needing the loo (sorry, TMI). There’s a pit in my stomach, and I feel inexplicably nauseous but

You think you know the tale of Sleeping Beauty. Princess gets cursed, princess pricks her finger. Everyone falls into a slumber, her true-love Prince comes along, kisses her awake, and the kingdom comes back to life. The end. At least, that’s Disney’s version of it. For hundreds of years, variations of the tale have been told, tracing back to the 14th century. Each adaptation has its own glorious twist, and Sir Matthew Bourne’s ballet is no different.
