Since it's premiere in 1999, NBC's newest installment of the Law and Order series known as Special Victims Unit has garnered a broad viewership that spans a wide variety of households nationwide, developing it's own cult-like following of dedicated fans. The addiction can creep up on you suddenly - it isn't hard to get absorbed into the show's dramatic yet compelling storylines. Here are a few warning signs that you might be addicted to Law and Order: Special Victims Unit.

1. You can recite the opening monologue to a tee.

The telltale sign of a true SVU addict.


2. You catch yourself singing the theme song in seemingly appropriate situations.

Update: not all situations are appropriate.


3. You can tell which season an episode is from just based on Olivia's haircut.

The pixie cut appears to be one of her favorites.


4. You're still not over Stabler's departure...

Most of us are still in denial.


5. Or Capt. Cragen's...

Don't lie. You cried real tears when he left.


6. Or even Munch's.

SVU's most snarky detective.


7. In fact, you miss the original cast more than anything.

After season 11, the Special Victim's Unit was never the same.


8. You can never fully accept Amaro as Stabler's replacement.

No matter how attractive he may be...


9. But Ice T still slays the comic relief.

How he maintains a long-term serious role is beyond me.


10. The debate on the superior ADA still rages on.

Alex Cabot? Casey Novak? Even Rafael Barba is in the running.


11. Your favorite television psychologist is Dr. Huang, not Dr. Phil.

Huang doesn't need his own show to be the bigger boss.


12. Finding an SVU marathon on USA is like Christmas morning.

But having Hulu or Netflix guarantees you a marathon any time, any day.


13. After hours of binging, you feel like a complete expert on law and psychology.

Hell, you could probably win a case in court if you were given the chance.


14. In fact, you've probably seen every episode at least 3 times each.

If not several times more...


15. When someone claims they've never seen SVU before...

How is that even possible?


16. Or that they don't like it:

Impossible.


17. Yet somehow you can never just watch one episode.

Once you start, you just can't find the will stop.


18. You know anyone who's anyone has guest starred on the show at some point.

Brittany Snow...

Norman Reedus...

Jennette McCurdy... and countless more.


19. You wish Benson and Stabler had gotten together before Stabler's departure.

Still waiting... (Hey. Anything can happen.)


20. The most frustrating part of basically every episode:

They just love leaving viewers hanging on the edge. And they're damn good at it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
