Is This Season Of 'Big Brother' The Most Racially-Charged Viewers Have Ever Seen?

As a super-fan of the show "Big Brother," I am very disappointed in this season.

If you aren't familiar with the show it is simply a game show where several people are stuck in a house together and they must compete in competitions to win special powers and one houseguest gets voted out each week.

It's like "Survivor" but in a huge house.

For the people who are fans of the show, they know that this season feels a bit different than others.

Usually, the house is divided into the traditionally "popular" people and the "outcasts", but this year it seems like the people of color are being targeted simply for being a different ethnicity than the Caucasian house guests.

When one houseguest has been chosen to be the "camp director" and has to choose four other houseguests to put up he chooses the only two African American people in the house, the plus-size Latina woman, and the older man. Coincidence? I think not.

If that doesn't scream discrimination I don't know what does.

For the superfans like me that stay up to date with the live feeds, there have been several clips floating around of one houseguest, Jack, saying the "n" word. There are other videos proving him making fun of other houseguests weight and even calling one houseguest a "brown flame". He seems to be the leader of the alliance Gr8ful who has been targeting people of different ethnicities. He has already forced the first weeks HOH Christie to target and send out Ovi, a houseguest who is Bangladesh–American, and when he won HOH the second week he sent home Kemi the last standing African American female in the house.

CBS seems to be covering this all up as well by making Jack seem like this likable houseguest when in reality he is quite the opposite.

We will see how the rest of this season plays out, but I will say that I hope that CBS will address this or at least do something about the blatant racism that is happening in the house.

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.
