10 Reasons Why Everyone Should Watch Friday Night Lights

Even if you don't love football, you love football when it comes to the Dillon Panthers. If you haven't indulged yourself yet by watching this show- don't worry, it's on Netflix.


10. During each 42 minute episode, you will find yourself wanting nothing more than a victory for the Panthers. If they win, you win. "Foobaw" and Texas may not be your thing (I didn't think they were mine), but give it a shot. I promise you won't regret it.


9. You will learn more from Coach Taylor than you ever learned from any high school teacher. That man is so full of wisdom, it almost hurts.

8. Tami Taylor is probably the most bad-ass coach / mom / wife / guidance counselor that has ever fictionally existed. Goals...


7. When Jason Street cries, we all cry. He was only the star for about half an episode and while Jason definitely got on our nerves a bit throughout the show, 6 will always be a character near and dear to us. Not to mention how much Tim Riggins loves him- how could we not?



6. The relationships are ones to strive for- I mean, Mr. and Mrs. Taylor, Julie and Saracen, Riggins and Lyla, the list goes on. You’ll sit there setting your expectations high (which is a good thing, trust me) and wishing you lived in Dillon Texas.



5. Buddy Garrity - the definition of a dynamic character. We hate him, we love him, but in the end what would the show be without him?



4. It will make you miss high school, under false premises that your town was anything like Dillon. Friday night football games probably came nothing close to this show, but looking back on high school fondly is not a bad thing.



3. The development of Matt Saracen gives us hope for every awkward boy to ever live. He went from goon to stud (still goony, but in the best way), and we were always rooting for him.



2. Tim Riggins. This should require no explanation. He started off as a drunk bum and ended up as my favorite character in tv show history.


1. Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose. Have you ever heard something catchier?

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
