6 Reasons to Watch Bill Nye Saves the World
The Verge

Odds are at some point in your life you have watched the old Bill Nye the Science Guy. When the teacher wheeled in the TV cart at science time you were ready to shout: "BILL BILL BILL BILL!"

Well April 21st a grown-up version of Bill Nye the Science Guy premiered on Netflix, "Bill Nye Saves the World." There are thirteen episodes and I am going to give you six reasons to binge watch them all (because I already did)

1. It's All Relevant

Bill Nye covers things that are hot topics today. Everything from climate change, vaccines, designer babies, GMOs and more. Even if you already know about these topics, I guarantee you'll learn something, maybe even enough to debate them and educate others. He's explaining the gender spectrum in the photo above.

2. Celebrity Guests

Karlie Kloss, model and programmer, is a correspondent who goes on assignment in several episodes. Other guests include Zach Braff, Steve Aoki, Donald Faison, Rachel Bloom, Tim Gunn, and more.

3. Not so PG Bill Nye

It's hilarious and bizarre to hear sexual innuendos and adult jokes come out of Bill Nye's mouth. Rachel Bloom's appearance comes with a rather adult original song, nothing like the ones we remember hearing at the end of his old show.

4. The Panel

One of my favorite parts of each episode was the panel. Bill sits down with three experts, sometimes on opposing sides of the issue and they discuss. I loved the diversity of these guests and hearing so many perspectives on each topic.

5. The experiments

It wouldn't be a science show without some safety goggles and lab coats, right? From walking on hot coals to debunking alternative remedies the demonstrations definitely do not disappoint.

6. It's Bill Nye

I have never considered science one of my favorite subjects, but as you might remember, Bill Nye makes learning fun. Even as an adult I can appreciate his humor and the way he explains things and breaks them down. I was interested and engaged through every episode.

Get comfortable, blow off your plans, watch Netflix (like you weren't already) and learn a little something from Bill Nye. I will be over here waiting for Netflix to confirm three more seasons.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
