11 Reasons Why You Should Be Watching "The West Wing"
Youtube

My favorite show, without a doubt, is The West Wing is my favorite show on Netflix, But for some reason that I do not understand one bit, not a lot of people watch it. It's the show that our parents watched, the show they will always tell you is great, but you still don't watch it. Trust me. Watch it.

1. CJ Cregg

The White House Press Secretary, Cj Cregg was life goals before we even started calling them life goals.

2. Toby Ziegler

He was grumpy but he was smart and he really cared, he was all of us. He was the Nick Miller of the early 2000's, everyone!

3.Charlie Young

Oh, Charlie, he did not plan to get the job that he got. He was young and he was judging every single one of them, all of the time.

4. Josh and Donna's Relationship

They are the real relationship goals. They have high-powered jobs, we see Donna grow in her career, and before they even get together, they take care of each other. We should all want that. We all deserve that.

5. Sam Seaborn

Oh Sam Seaborn, how I miss you so. Not only is it a young Rob Lowe, it's a young Rob Lowe that writes. What else could you want?

6. (The Short-Lived) Ainsley Hayes

Nearly every time she opened her mouth, she mentioned food. That's the most realistic part of the show. I will stand by this: Ainsley Hayes should have never left the show.

7. Quotes like this

Even though the show was written in a different time, some of the quotes really hold true today.

8. And this one

Like this one.

9. Oh yeah, and this one

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.
