We all know that saying "When one door closes, another one opens." Well, CW's backdoor just flew wide open this month with the premiere of Riverdale, an Archie Comics adaptation. A few months ago, CW announced that the legendary Vampire Diaries was ending, however, with one mega show coming to a close the network didn't leave fans in the dust. Make room for yet another binge-worthy TV series, because CW definitely didn't disappoint. Here are the top 5 questions we all have after watching Chapter 1 of Riverdale. Beware of SPOILERS! If you haven't seen it, turn back now!

1) Where is Jason's Body?

The episode begins as we watch two redheaded teenagers, Jason and Cheryl Blossom, going out on the lake all mysterious like. Hours later, we find the girl, Cheryl, soaked with water and crying out that they tipped the boat where she swam to the shore only to find that Jason was nowhere in sight. I'm assuming that when the boat tipped, Jason fell and hit his head and drowned, but where is the body? If you think about it, if the “drowning” happened within a few hours the floating body was sure to emerge somewhere? Well, apparently not! However, what is even weirder is that this chick’s twin brother “drowns” and she is still the Queen-bee wreaking havoc as if nothing happened. Seems a bit fishy to me!

2) What’s the history between Archie and Veronica’s parents?

This is a very good question if you ask me. Veronica, who is the newbie in town after her mom, with limited resources, moved them to her hometown after her husband was caught embezzling from a lot of powerful and rich people and is going through a long trial. Well, the first day back in town, Veronica’s mom visits Archie’s dad, who happens to a childhood friend, and asks for a job. However, given her husband’s reputation, he is forced to say no to the job. What I want to know is how exactly they know each other and what the history is. Another valid question is, where is Archie’s mom?

3) Why do Betty’s parents hate the Blossoms?

Surely it can’t just be because Jason and Betty’s sister were dating? No, like Veronica’s mom and Archie’s dad, there has to be an epic history. However, usually, when a child dies, parents empathize with the grieving parents. Well, not Betty’s, controlling mother. The day Cheryl was found, Betty’s mother said, “I hope in his last moments he suffered.” Yikes! Harsh much? Maybe not. Turns out, Betty’s sister had a mega meltdown when Jason went “missing” and was the institutionalized.

4) How does Jughead fit into the mix?

Now, there is a character named Jughead. Cast out of the main social group, this character seems to be the narrator of the story. However, I want to know why he is cast out. It is hinted that Archie and Jughead used to be best friends but if that were so, then how come Betty doesn’t really associate with Jughead since she is Archie’s best friend? And, if they were friends, why aren’t they friends anymore?

5) Who Shot Jason Blossom?

Turns out “drowning” was not the cause of death of Jason Blossom. He was shot! But who shot him, and why did his sister claim he fell into the water and drowned? Was his sister behind his death? So, so many questions that need answers! I just want to know what Queen-bee Cheryl is hiding and how is Betty’s sister involved? And why didn’t Archie report the gunshot on July 4th? Was it just because of who he was with or he generally feared about getting in trouble?

So many questions that need to be answered. Riverdale airs on CW at 9 p.m.

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.
