Now that all my finals are over, I've finally had some more time for one of my favorite activities: watching Netflix. Over the past few months, the popular video streaming site has put a number of new movies and TV shows on. With so many options, I've picked a few of my favorites.

1. "The Princess Bride"

This feel-good fairy tale is one of my family's favorites. It has enough adventure, romance, and humor to keep everyone entertained.


2. "Black Mirror"

Often compared to a modern day "Twilight Zone," each episode of "Black Mirror" takes us on a worst case scenario with a certain kind of technology. These thrilling episodes are so impactful as viewers realize more often than not that society is not as far from some detrimental inventions as we think.



3. "Big Eyes"

Directed by Tim Burton, this is the true story of painter Margaret Keane who had all her artwork stolen by her husband.


4. "New Girl"

Who wouldn't want to watch a show about adorable Zooey Deschanel moonwalking through life with her three dude roommates? "New Girl" was my go-to show when I was stuck in bed for a week after I got my wisdom teeth out.



5. "Mr. Nobody"

Starting at the end of Nemo's life, we see all the different paths in life he could have gone down. With beautifully bright costumes and sets, "Mr. Nobody" is one of those movies you might have to watch several times before you fully understand just how wonderfully thought out it is.



6. "Parks and Recreation"

Leslie Knope's refusal to be knocked down will make you feel unstoppable as well. This quotable show is sure to bring a smile to your face and tug at some heartstrings.


7. "Amelie"

For a change of pace and something new, I put a foreign language film on here! Follow the sweet Amelie as she shows you how she delights in everyday simple pleasures and ventures across the city to return a photo album to a tall, dark mysterious man.


8. "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt"

Kimmy Schmidt is one of the amazing "mole women!" She has been locked up in an underground bunker for the better part of her life, but now she's out, naive, and ready to take on New York City!


9. "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"

As Jim Carey takes on a more serious role, after a break up, he experiments with new controversial ways of getting his ex off his mind...possibly forever.


10. "Breaking Bad"

Just another retelling of the classic tale of chemistry teacher turned meth dealer....or not so much. With plot twists galore, Walt and Jesse are sure to keep you on your toes.


11. "United States of Tara"

I love the authenticity of this show. It follows a mom as she learns how to live a happy life, even with her dissociative identity disorder.


12. "Orange is the New Black"

Piper Kerman's past catches up with her and sends her to prison, causing her to find out just how firey and tough she really is. A supporting cast of terrific female actors adds depth and helps to show that people incarcerated are much more than just their sentences.

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.
