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.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
