An Open Letter To The Sherlock Fandom

I Love You Guys

An Open Letter To The Sherlock Fandom
Huffington Post

Dear Sherlock Fandom,

We have come out of our hiding places and have been stirring up a whole bunch of ruckus. With a whole new series in our grasp and ready to watch (if you are like me and was busy the entire time when it actually came on t.v.) or have already watched it, we are fired up. There are several things I love about this fandom. We are always trying to deduce what is going to happen next even in our everyday lives. I always try to do Sherlock's famous thing about knowing items about people just by looking at them. We are always prepared with possible conclusions of what seems to be impossible events such as the roof scene in series two (keeping it spoiler free for the ones that have not seen the first three series yet). Even some of these possible conclusions showed up in series three in a wonderfully mastered episode. Along with any fandom, there is the shipping. There is Johnlock, Sherlock and Irene, and Sherlock and Molly. I personally favor Sherlock and Irene. I like to keep to the classic text.

For those John Lockes out there, keep sticking together. Maybe Gatiss or Moffat will let you have your fantasy episode. The ones that are for Sherlock and Molly, I can feel your pain every time Molly gets denied. The Sherlock Fandom has some of the best quotes to use in life. "Dear God, What's it like in your funny little brains? It must be so boring.", "It's a three patch problem.", and my personal favorite: "I dislike being outnumbered. It makes for too much stupid in the room.".

Now the very last thing I love this fandom for is its love for Benedict Cumberbatch and everything about him. I mean look at these eyes. How could you not fall in love with those? And those lovely high cheekbones that every girl would die to have?

This fandom may only come out once every year ( or more depending on how long it takes to get a new series) but it has such a great vibe to it. Keep doing what you are doing, Fam.

Love,

A Sherlock Junkie Just Like You

P.S. Please do not ruin series four for me or other people that have not seen it yet. We will catch up and join you when we can. And when we do catch up, you can talk theories with us all day long.

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:

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.
