With the wrap up of season six of "Bob's Burgers" this past week, how well do you know award-winning animated series?

1. Tina was originally a boy name Daniel.

According to an interview with "Bob’s Burgers’" creator Loren Bouchard for NPR’s Pop Culture Happy Hour, Daniel was scrapped when test audiences thought the eldest character needed to ‘pop’ more. When they switched Daniel to Tina, though, they only had to change one word in the demo.

2. A Fan-Made Blog got turned into a cookbook.

Cole Bowden, a fan of "Bob’s Burgers," decided to start making the ‘Burger of the Day’ puns as real burgers. Working off only the name, usually including one unique ingredient, his work became a blog called The Bob’s Burger Experiment. He later partnered with Bouchard to make his recipes a cookbook that any fan can buy.

3. The original pitch had a cannibalism twist to the family restaurant.

In an interview with the A.V. Club, Loren Bouchard said that the original pitch to producers was about “a family of cannibals who runs a restaurant.” While the network steered him away from that idea, they kept “everything but.” If you remember back to the first episode, there’s a reference to the original idea when Louise spread the rumor that the family’s restaurant actually serves human flesh.

4. The only female character in the Belcher family that is voiced by a woman is Louise.

Both Tina and Linda are actually voiced by males – by Dan Mintz and John Roberts respectfully. Louise is voiced by Kristen Schaal, who has also voiced roles in "Gravity Falls," "Toy Story 3," and "Archer."

5. Tina is the only Belcher to have her middle name revealed.

Tina’s middle name is revealed to be Ruth in the episode "Presto Tina-o." As for the other members of the Belcher family, it's still unknown.

6. We don’t know where "Bob’s Burgers" is based.

While we know the restaurant is on Ocean Avenue, we currently don’t know what the name of their town is. The voice actors actually informally call the town Seymour’s Bay as a reference to the editor’s name Mark Seymour and the amount of time they spend in his editing bay. Whether it’s East Coast or West Coast, though, that’s still unannounced.

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.

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.

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.
