15 Questions You Had While Watching 'Riverdale'
Warner Bros. Television

"Riverdale" seems to be one of the biggest shows on Netflix right now. Featuring the characters from the "Archie" comics, this murder mystery is everything you could want for binge watching. Despite the fact that it's a bomb show, you'll probably still have some questions while watching it. While most of these questions aren't essential to the plot, hopefully a few of the answers will become more clear in the next season.

Warning: potential spoilers ahead.

1. Where even is Riverdale?

While it isn't a real town, it seems strange that we, as viewers, know nothing about this small town's location except that it is relatively close to New York City.

2. How did Archie get so fit working for his dad all summer?

I mean, pouring concrete is hard work, but is it hard enough to make him that fit after just a few weeks?

3. Why don't they look like high schoolers?

I want some of whatever they feed those teenagers in Riverdale because they're all awfully beautiful and adult looking to be in high school.


4. Why does everyone find their soulmate in highschool?

Archie's parents were high school sweethearts, Betty's parents were high school sweethearts, Jughead's parents were high school sweethearts...

5. How did Betty not see Archie all summer?

Like, you guys aren't only next door neighbors, but your bedroom windows face each other directly.

6. What happened to Betty and Kevin being BFFs?

In the very beginning of the show we see Kevin and Betty dreamily discussing Archie, but then after that they are barely even seen together without their crowd of friends.

7. For that matter, why is everyone so friendly?

Small town high school or not, how are they all such good pals all the time (except Chuck)?

8. How have Cheryl's parents not sent her off yet?

To be honest, Cheryl is crazier than crazy and it's fairly obvious. Considering that her parents are so obsessed with the image of the family, how on earth has she not been sent off to boarding school (or a mental institution) yet?

9. How did no one in town know that the Coopers' and the Blossoms' are cousins?

It's a small town and the little only goes back 3 or 4 generations, which is definitely a small enough time span that at least some of the people who spent their lives in Riverdale would still talk about it occasionally.

10. How is Pop's open 24 hours?

No matter what time the characters go to Pop's, he is always there. My question would be, when on earth does Pop sleep?

11. How did no one know that Jughead lived at the drive-in?

I know his parents aren't super attentive, but surely someone realized that there was a kid living at the drive in.

12. Why is Alice so crazy?

Lots of characters on Riverdale are nuts, but most of them have some kind of backstory. Was having to give her first child up for adoption enough to make Alice as vindictive as she is, or is there more to her story?


13. Speaking of that... Betty and Polly have an older brother. WHAT?

Like actually, though, what the heck?!

14. Which raises the question, why did Alice put Polly through the same thing she went through herself if it was so scarring for her?

At this point, I'm questioning everything about Alice Cooper. She was apparently scarred for life when she got pregnant in high school and her boyfriend scheduled her an abortion, which led her to go to the Sisters of Quiet Mercy, where the baby was given up for adoption. These events seem to have traumatized her, so why did she put her try to put her oldest daughter through the exact same thing?

15. How quick can we get season 2?

That cliffhanger (sorry, no pun intended) at the end of season one was MASSIVE. We fans really, really, REALLY need to know what happens there!

Basically, everyone is counting down the days until October when season 2 comes out amid many other shows.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
