An Open Letter To Netflix

Dear Netflix,

Instead of studying for exams and doing homework and projects, I use you to watch TV shows and movies. Once important deadlines approach, I seem to always find a new show to binge-watch, like Marvel's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." Yes, I am obsessed with that show. I have watched two seasons in less than a week and a half. It is addicting. Especially when you have a hot doctor (Ph.D.) with skills in engineering and weapons. He is a dream boat. To top it off, he is Scottish. What a killer accent! Anyway, thank you for helping me get through college. I don't know what I would do with my spare time. Study more? Nah. You are more important.

You never cease to amaze me. You have every TV show and movie I want to watch. "Criminal Minds," "Pretty Little Liars," "Zoo," "Gotham," "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," "Parks and Recreation," "Jane the Virgin," "Gilmore Girls," etc. I can also reminisce about my childhood memories by watching some oldies—"Scooby Doo," Disney movies, "High School Musical," "Spy Kids," and so on.

When I am sick, you become my best friend. You make me feel better. I can just lie on my couch, nestle in my blanket, drink my Earl Grey tea, and watch you for hours and hours. You are the best part of being sick.

You are my sunshine when clouds are gray or when I am sick. You are the light in the darkness or when it's final exams time. You are gift that keeps on giving when you keep adding my favorite TV shows and movies to your website. Thank you for helping me get through college.

Yours truly,

Mary

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.
