If you're about my age or older you've probably heard of "That 70's Show." It is a period sitcom that aired from 1996-2006 with a total of 8 seasons. In the fictional world though the show goes from 1976-1979. The main cast focuses on Eric, Donna, Hyde, Jackie, Fez, Kelso, and Erics parents Red and Kitty. It's basically a show all about their lives using loads of sarcasm and plenty of jokes. If you're wondering why I've decided to talk about this show, well I have just finished watching all 8 seasons within the last month and i'm feeling sentimental.

1. The Sarcasm

This show is literally filled with sarcasm which personally is my favorite style of conversation. Essentially the show is like another version of friends but the main characters are in highschool/college so it's a bit more relatable. This also makes the sarcasm even funnier because you can literally imagine you saying something just like they said to your own friends.

2. Fez

Fun fact, they never actually gave Fez a real name. When he announced his name an alarm went off so no one could hear it. In turn the guys decided to name him Fez (Foreign Exchange Student). Throughout all 8 seasons you never actually know where Fez comes from which is the basis of all jokes made about Fez, that and his accent which no one can understand. Overall Fez just makes for a great character to make fun of.

3. Eric and Donna

Eric and Donna are literally a power couple. From the beginning of the show till the end you're always rooting for Donna and Eric no matter the circumstance. It's almost as if Eric is the underdog and Donna is the girl who fell for the underdog. Their relationship is literally hilarious and if you watch the show and don't root for Donna and Eric then at least root for someone Jackie gets with...you'll have plenty of options.

4. The Costumes

In fashion everything comes back around. Watching this show today makes me realize that even more. There were so many times I saw outfits that people wear today especially the pants. Super wide leg pants are totally in right now and even though I don't own a pair I'm rooting for the look. As a whole the outfits they wear are great, especially during the times they go Roller-discoing.

5. Red

Red is the epitome of a bitter man. From his comments about putting his foot in the butt of people who annoy him, to his I don't care attitude 24/7. He think everyone (except Kitty his wife) is dumb so that pretty much sums up his character.

6. Jackie

Jackie is basically a bratty pretty girl who believes the whole world owes her everything and then some....which is why she's great. In the beginning everyone hates Jackie and doesn't want her to be a part of the group, but because she dates Kelso she is slowly becomes one of them despite her interests. A fun fact about Mila Kunis who plays Jackie is that she lied to producers about her age when auditioning so she was only 14 when the show started. She also had her first kiss on the show with Ashton Kutcher aka Kelso who she is now married to today.

7. The Relationships

The relationships in this show are wild. For one Jackie literally dates all the main characters except Eric mainly because 90% of the time he was with Donna. The same goes for Kelso but in a larger term of dating everyone in Point Place. As a whole the relationships in this show rotate like no other so it's a fun time.

8. Kelso

Kelso is essentially the village idiot of "That 70's Show." For measure he falls off the town water tower every year of the show and occasionally the reason he falls is because the others trick him into jumping...every...single..time. His character provides tons of humor relief throughout the show from one dumb comment to another. To top it all of he is super narcissistic.

As a whole I highly recommend the show if you're looking for something to kill some time. It's a good laugh.

Happy Watching!

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.

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.
