My family has never had cable so I didn't grow up watching Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, or Nickelodeon. Instead, I grew up watching old TV shows, like I Love Lucy and PBS Kids. Below is a list of the absolute best PBS Kids shows. Fun fact: If the show had a Halloween episode then it's my favorite.

1. Fetch With Ruff Ruffman

Fun fact: Nothing will ever top the Halloween episode where they were locked in the haunted mansion and had to solve the mystery. Also, I wanted nothing more than to be a contestant on the show.


2. Cyber Chase

Fun fact: Gilbert Gottfried is the voice of Digit, aka the bird from Cyber Chase, and is also the voice of Iago, aka the bird from Aladdin.


3. Electric Company

Fun fact: actor William Jackson Harper who plays Danny Rebus, one of the villains in this show, also plays Chidi Anagonye on a new hit TV show called The Good Place. Basically, I cannot see him as anyone but Danny and it's a bit of a problem.


4. Zoboomafoo

Fun Fact: basically everything I know about lemurs I learned from the Kratt brothers.


5. Wild Kratts

Fun fact: Remember Zoboomafoo? Remember the brothers? These are the same ones but in cartoon form and minus the monkey.


6. Arthur

Fun fact: "Having fun isn't hard when you have a library card" are words to live by.


7. Curious George

Fun fact: I really want to get a kitten and name it gnocchi.


8. Between The Lions

Fun fact: Cliiiiif Hanger! Hanging from a cliiiiiiff! And that's why he's called Cliff Hangeeerrr!


9. Dragon Tales


Fun fact: If you didn't start reciting "I wish, I wish, with all my heart, to fly with dragons in a land apart" every time you found a pretty rock did you even have a childhood?


10. Maya and Miguel

Fun fact: Watching Maya and Miguel always made me hungry and I still don't know why.


11. Word Girl


Fun fact: This is the show that taught me my favorite word--tangent. Don't ask why it's my favorite because I honestly don't know.


12. Clifford the Big Red Dog

Fun fact: Have I ever steered you wrong?


13. Sesame Street

Fun fact: Oscar the Grouch was, and still is, my favorite

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.

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.
