8 Reasons Cheryl Blossom Is A Savage

I identify as a Betty, but I think we all have a little Cheryl in us.

Spoiler alert: if you haven't finished the first season of "Riverdale" turn back now! Binge watch! And then please, return to see why Cheryl Blossom is the most under-appreciated character on the show.

So, I’ll admit. I don’t have red hair, I’m not a cheerleader, and my dad doesn’t own a maple syrup business that acts as a front for his heroin running business. Cheryl is definitely the heart of the psycho-drama that is “Riverdale,” but she also has a lot to deal with.

Between the murder of her brother, demise of her father, and abuse on the part of her mother, she has good reason to be a bit of a beezy when it comes to the social scene. Despite all of that, there’s something that makes us not absolutely hate Cheryl. What is it?

Maybe it's the way she stares at fire.

Just kidding. It is pretty sick though.

1. Dance moves.

Does this remind you of yourself at the club? Me neither.

2. She does what she wants.

Including taking that cherry off your milkshake in hopes of manipulation and intimidation. Crazy, but she looks cool while doing it.

3. Hair flips

This lady has long, luscious locks and rocks a hard part like nobody's business.

4. Resilience, always

Cheryl has a lot going on. Her family is like some super twisted cross between a soap opera and classical tragedy. Nevertheless, this girl shows up and sets her own rules.

5. A flawless red lip

I've never seen anyone wear lipstick like this in high school during class, but Cheryl pulls it off. More power to you, girlfriend. Also - asking for a friend - what lip liner do you use?

6. Fearless fashion sense

I personally haven't seen anyone wear a dress like this to a casual Homecoming dance, but who am I to dictate what's acceptable in Riverdale? Slay, Cheryl.

7. Zero f*cks given.

So yeah. She burnt down her own house to spite her mother. She also wanted to start over, and give herself a clean slate. Rid of Thornhill (the creepy mansion that belonged to the Blossoms'), Cheryl and her mom are without a home at the end of the first season. To be fair, her mother is the devil incarnate. The crazy savage that is Cheryl Blossom.

8. She's adorable!

Real life Cheryl (Madalaine Petsch) is actually super cute and looks good even without that bomb red lip and side part.

So, if you identify as a Betty or Veronica or honestly anyone else, you gotta commend the hustle of Cheryl. She takes it to the extreme (a little too) often, but her life is a little extreme. First time I watched "Riverdale", I thought this woman was actually insane. Now, I've got a whole lot of respect for her.

She's crazy, empowered, decisive, and ambitious. Go Cheryl.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
