I have never watched a show that is so raunchy, immature, inappropriate, and yet SO ACCURATE. I love it.

As much as some of us hate to admit it, Netflix's "Big Mouth" exposes the truth of what is going through every adolescent's mind, at least what our generation was going through.

The reason why we love this series, binge-watching the whole season in a day, is because we get to relive our childhood through the episodes. "Big Mouth" challenges all the things we were not supposed to talk about in middle school, yet what we were all thinking.

The show is actually incredible for somehow understanding what it is like to be going through puberty and how awfully amazing it is. Each character explores a different part of growing up and attempts to make sense of all the new emotions you are going through at that time. Middle school can be tough, and everyone is changing, some faster than others. Everyone is finding out about their sexuality, which is another topic that "Big Mouth" covers in a way I have never seen before.

In the show, there are several characters that struggle with identifying their sexuality. Each character who struggles with this shares their emotional experiences, making every child who also feels that way feel like they're not alone, which is so crucial. It also touches on the topic of feminism and especially how boys and girls come into this.

Jessie, the leading feminist character, voices her opinions on how women are treated unfairly. The fact that a middle-schooler is talking about this speaks volumes. This is also a part of growing into womanhood, which is very confusing! No one has answers for how you are supposed to act and feel in this trivial time in your life, but "Big Mouth" makes sense of it all.

"Big Mouth" provides adolescents with the feeling that they aren't as weird as they think. The things they are experiencing are more normal than they think for their age, and everyone is feeling them.

Not to mention it also makes our generation feel better about what we were feeling back then. I realized through conversations with friends that "Big Mouth" captures the truth and exposes all of us. All we had when we were younger were the boring sex-ed videos; you all know what I'm talking about.

The fact that kids today have access to a show that talks like them, acts like them, and experiences puberty with them is amazing. It's something we should not take for granted.

Overall, I recommend everyone watch "Big Mouth." It will change your perspective on not only the world around you but yourself as well.

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.
