The mind of Seth MacFarlane is probably more complicated than many people could fully understand, but he and the talented group of people that create each episode of the hit show Family Guy seem to smoothly take his thoughts and throw them down into a hilarious comedy about a New England family. The satirical image of the average household brings forward many issues and conversations happening around the world presently in what viewers see as a sarcastic conversation or a scene so ridiculous but exhibits important topics and comedy in one product.

1. Family Gay (Season 7, Episode 8)

This episode is about proving that being gay is not a choice. The griffins need to make some extra money to cover some unexpected expenses so Peter decides to consent to some medical experiments. On of the experiments is what the show describes as "the gay gene" and it is injected into Peter.

2. Episode 420 (Season 7, Episode 12)

This episode is about how the system is skewed when it comes to drugs, even ones that are less harmful than substances that are legal to consume. Brian and Peter are driving and they have a dead animal in a bag where you can tell that there is a body of some sort and blood on both Peter and Brian. They get pulled over and the police don't actually question the body bag or blood because they are more concerned with the half gram of marijuana sitting on Brian's lap.

3. The Old Man and the Big C (Season 11, Episode 3)

The plot of this episode is about the cure for cancer and that it has been hidden in fear of losing profit if cancer becomes easily treatable. It is completely possible that this is true. the pieces match the puzzle, we all just choose to believe that a person would not risk lives for profit. The episode captures the side effects greed has on the world and shows that it is important to always ask questions. The truth is behind the lies.

4. Road to the North Pole (Season 9, Episode 7)

One of the Christmas episodes of the series and Christmas episodes of most shows are good episodes. This episode is about a journey that Stewie and Brian take to the North Pole with the intention to kill Santa Clause, but when they get there they find an extremely polluted and disease-ridden factory with a lot of sick elves and a sick Santa who wishes to die. Brian and Stewie have a change of heart and work to fulfill Christmas wishes around the world where Santa is not able to grant. This episode shows that there is always a story that the other person doesn't know and it's important to never just to conclusions without knowing all the information.

5. Vestigial Peter (Season 12, Episode2)

This episode handles extremely light topics and is focused on pure comedy. Peter and Lois notice a lump on Peter's neck and go to the doctor to have it extracted. The doctor discovers that it is actually a vestigial twin. They keep the vestigial twin attached for a while and name it Chip. Chip becomes part of the family and makes Peter feel jealous of the new attention that Chip is receiving thus withdrawing some attention from Peter making Peter jealous.For those who have not analyzed the show while watching it, it seems like just another animated comedy but is actually talking about many underlying problems in the world today.

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.

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.
