The Flash is just one of the many superhero television programs on The CW network. Having started in 2014, the hit series is on its third season. Wondering whether it’s worth binge watching on Netflix? Here are 10 reasons why!

1.) The cast

The series includes the talented cast of Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes, Tom Cavanagh, and Jesse L. Martin. All of these actors successfully bring their characters to life and the chemistry between them is undeniable.

2.) Barry’s backstory

Barry Allen’s backstory sets the plot for the entire series. When he was eleven, Barry’s mother, Nora Allen, was murdered by someone - or something- that no one could ever explain. It wasn’t until Barry got struck by lighting and obtained his powers that he realized another speedster could have been involved in his mother’s murder.

3.) The ships

A key part to a every fandom is the ships! There are so many different relationships on the show, both romantic and platonic, and it’s always fun to pair our favorite characters together.

4.) The always hilarious Cisco Ramon

Cisco Ramon is the show’s comic relief. He comes up with the villains’ names and he makes hilarious Harry Potter references throughout the series.

5.) Crossovers with Arrow and Supergirl

Since Arrow and Supergirl are within the “arrowverse” universe, you can expect the Green Arrow, the Flash, and Supergirl to run into each other from time to time. When you see these characters together, expect the episode to be action-packed.

6.) It’s based on 'The Flash' comic books

The show does an amazing job bringing both the characters and plot to life from the DC comic books. However, you don’t need to read the comics to understand the series, because the show can stand on its own. It’s only based on the comics, and puts its own interesting twist to the story of Barry Allen.

7.) The cool villains

Fans can see villains such as Captain Cold, the Trickster, and the Reverse-Flash brought to life in the series. Each villain has its own backstory, and with the help of Cisco, Harrison Wells, and Caitlin, the Flash is set to stop them all.

8.) The awesome special effects

From super speed to fire, the show has awesome special effects for each hero and villain's powers

9.) The mystery

From the very first episode, we see that Harrison Wells is hiding a HUGE secret from Barry. You just have to watch the show to find out what it is...

10.) The relationships

Finally, the show has many relationships that we see grow with each episode, such as the members of “Team Flash” becoming a family. The show teaches us that family is the people who are willing to stand by us through anything.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
