8 Shows You Need To Watch In 2017

New year, new shows! Here's to 2017 and binge watching to your heart's content. Here are a few ideas for your next obsession.

1. Crazy Ex Girlfriend

One of the funniest -- and highly underrated -- shows on Netflix. It's weird and quirky, but super fun. Part musical, part self-deprecating comedy, its the perfect show to binge watch over a long weekend with a couple of friends.

2. Quantico

Quantico is Scandal meets FBI drama. It draws you in from the first episode and doesn't let go, with romance and crime to no end. While there is only one season on Netflix right now, hopefully there will be more to come.

3. Switched at Birth

Freeform's long-running drama about two girls switched in the hospital where they were born can border on cheesy, but has enough drama to keep you watching for hours. Its look into deaf culture and the struggle to identify with family are actually poignant, which makes this a perfect binge-show.

4. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

Kimmy is the type of person we all want to be, happy-go-lucky and naive to the evils of the world. While it is fun to watch her move on from being a "mole woman," Titus Andromedon, her roommate proves to be the hidden star of this cute comedy.

5. The Carrie Diaries

There were only two seasons made of this show, which is a total shame. It is based on the "Sex and the City" prequel of the same name, and has just as much drama and fashion as you would expect. It's a fun show to watch over a weekend or two, and will keep you hanging on 'till the last episode.

6. House

House is the grittier, less glamorous alternative to Gray's Anatomy. It follows the life of Dr. House, who solves medical mysteries while dealing with his own personal issues. It's a typical drama, but easy enough to start and watch over the course of a semester.

7. The Blacklist

Similar to Quantico, The Blacklist is an FBI drama that follows an agent and her life as she partners with a criminal. The mystery behind Reddington hooks you in from the beginning, and it's hard to stop watching.

8. Bones

While Bones isn't a shiny new drama or comedy, it's a tried-and-true show with 11 seasons on Netflix so far. Bones is witty and socially awkward, which makes the show funnier than it may seem.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
