This week, I binge-watched Netflix's show "Black Mirror" and let me tell you; I am all sorts of fucked-up. This show uses technology, both modern and futuristic, to play with your feelings and give you all types of existential crises. So here are 11 gifs that describes any newcomer's experience to this amazing show.

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

1.

This was me when I realized that each episode was its own plot and were standalone. This was also me when... you know what? This is me EVERY SINGLE EPISODE.

2.

When I knew that each episode would be messed up, and I prepared myself. But no one prepared me for "White Bear." Nothing ever could.

3.

At the end of "San Junipero," before the credits, I was filled with sadness at the prospect of the two lead characters of the episode not getting together. But as the credits went on and it showed that they DID get together, I cried tears of happiness seeing two people fall in love: two women nonetheless. My gay heart fluttered.

4.

At the end of "Shut Up and Dance" and this fateful image was sent to the characters:

5.

In the show's first episode, "The National Anthem," the Prime Minister had sex with a pig...and that is not a euphemism.

6.

This was me during the all of "Be Right Back." Hayley Atwell's acting was phenomenal, and the ending got me feeling some type of way.

7.

This was my face all throughout "Playtest." Was he in reality? Was he in the video game? WHAT IS GOING ON?

8.

This is me every. single. episode. Just when I think I figured it all out, "Black Mirror" decides to just turn my world upside down. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

9.

"Black Mirror" makes me want to give up technology and live far away in the woods. You see how technology impacts the lives of the characters and in most cases, destroy their lives.

10.


The technology in "The Entire History of You" was genius and made life convenient, at first. I couldn't stop watching how the characters used it. But of course, this technology ended up ruining their lives, making me hate technology all over again (see number 9).

11.

"Black Mirror" causes you to reflect on your life, think about the technology you use, and question your morals. This show has made me cry, laugh, scared, and fall into existential crises. It's a series that is intelligent, ground-breaking, and inventive, and it is definitely worth watching.

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:

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.
