'Big Mouth' Is Woke. Prove Me Wrong.

"Big Mouth" is a dirty comedy show filled with hormone-raging teenagers and their hormone monsters. The characters are navigating the terrible life that is middle school and how they cope with the terrible thing that is puberty. The show seems to be another dirty comedy that only invokes humor, but it talks about much more than hormone-raging kids. The third season focuses on some pretty important issues that teenagers may face.

Firstly, the characters portray a lot of diversity. Jessie's mom divorces her dad and explores her sexuality by dating a woman. Jay, a seemingly "straight" guy, comes out as bisexual after a new student that's pansexual comes to school. Additionally, we see representation in the black community from Missy and her parents, who happen to be a biracial couple.

Within the new third season, the writers address issues like kids struggling with their sexuality. There is a whole episode dedicated to Jay and his exploration of his sexuality. The viewers follow his experimentation through season two, and he is finally able to come to a place of comfort with his sexuality. He then comes out to the rest of his class, but many don't take him seriously. Sadly, this is the actual reality of kids who are struggling with something like their sexuality. Although, he goes through the rest of the season embracing himself, and his classmates come to accept him.

Additionally, a whole episode focuses on the objectification of women and how school dress codes can perpetuate those ideologies. The girls in the school were tired of being objectified by the boys and the sexist ideas that the school dress code enforced.

The show is full of hilarious content but focuses on problems that all kids and people go through in our society. Many have discussed how the "woke culture" ruins comedy, but "Big Mouth" is able to create humor while talking about important issues. Definitely a must-watch for everyone.

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.
