Every so often I find myself in what the Amazon Fire commercials refer to as a 'showhole'. A weird time when you don't have a show to binge watch, or you can't stick to just one show. Usually, this happens right at the beginning of summer, because I have so much more time to watch TV and no idea what to watch. Right now I'm in the middle of a showhole, and watching an abundance of different TV shows. Here are my favorite tv shows as of right now!

1. Bones

This has always been my favorite show. It is one of the few shows that I watch live and really need to keep up with. Dr. Temperance Brennan (Emily Dechanel) is one of my favorite characters of all time. She is a genius, and complex character, and watch her develop over the years has been mesmerizing. Currently on its 11th season, it was renewed for one last 12th season to start at the end of this year, or sometime in the next. Bones follows a team of forensic scientists that team up with the FBI to solve murders in and around Washington DC. Episodes can be watched by themselves, or chronologically.

Where to watch: Thursday nights on Fox, Netflix, Hulu

2. Political Animals

This is a Netflix Original mini-series that I watched in less than a day. I originally started it because I wanted to watch Sebastian Stan, who gives a stellar performance as TJ, but was hooked by the complexities and motives of the other characters. This series follows the drama behind Secretary of State and former first lady, Elaine Barrish (Sigourney Weaver). She is confronted with scandals stemmed from her cheating ex-husband (Ciarán Hinds), her twin sons (Sebastian Stan and James Wolk), and a political journalist (Carla Gugino). I don't know much about politics but it reminded me a lot of the Clinton's. Overall, it was drama packed and hits a lot of tough issues, such as drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders, and homosexuality. With five 42 minute episodes, and one 75 minute episode, you'll find yourself wanting more.

3. Gilmore Girls

I recently started watching Gilmore Girls from the beginning, in preparation for the four-part reunion special. I have slowed down my binging greatly as I near the end of the series. I grew up watching Gilmore Girls I remember coming home from school, putting on ABC Family, and watching that and Sabrina the Teenage Witch. The show is fast-paced, witty, and filled with hilarious jokes. The quick paced dialogue is unlike any other show, and although the drama and relationship quarrels seem, at times, unrealistic, it is an overall great show.

4. Ink Master

Last summer I watched an Ink Master marathon on a rainy day during vacation. I have been hooked ever since. A TV competition revolving around some of the world's best tattoo artists is just as cool as it sounds. Even the worst tattoos on the show, are still amazing to me. Throw in the drama of angry human canvases, fights between artists, and even sometimes love interests, and it makes for the perfect show. Every week someone is knocked out during the elimination tattoo, and the season ends with a live finale featuring the top three artists. The last one standing is crowned the Ink Master.

Where to watch: Spike.com, Hulu

5. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

When this first came out on Netflix I watched it in maybe two days. I was crushed when I finished it. Finally, after months of waiting, the second season came out. I watched the first few episodes, slowly but surely I have been nearing the end of the season, watching sporadically since it was aired. Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper) was locked in a bunker as a part of a cult since she was a child. Now a grown adult, she has to make herself a place in the world. Hilarious and ridiculous, you are never not laughing with this show. Cameos from famous comedians, such as Tina Fey, and Anna Camp, make the show that much more entertaining.

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.

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.
