'The Bold Type' Is The Show Millennials Need Right Now

It's totally underrated.

'The Bold Type' Is The Show Millennials Need Right Now
Hulu

I’m all about binge-watching TV shows.

Right there is an accurate representation of me.

I’m one of those people who have a Netflix, Amazon Video, and Hulu account. While I’ve pretty much worked my way through most Netflix shows, I have found myself searching through the unfamiliar on Hulu.

I had seen advertisements before about "The Bold Type" but I kind of just put it on the back burner. Over winter break I thought, why not? There were a couple familiar faces in the show and I personally am a fan of those actresses.

Right as the first episode started, I was hooked. I was all about the different dynamics of the characters and in a way it reminded me of the characters of "Sex and The City". You know? The tight-knit group of girlfriends who are super close yet all have different personalities.

The show essentially follows three young girls who work for Scarlet Magazine, a women’s magazine that covers fashion, beauty, health, and sex. The three girls work for this magazine but all have different interests within it. Would y'all believe that this show is actually influenced by the life and career of Joanna Coles? Also *slight spoiler* Scarlet is a stand-in magazine name for (you guessed it) Cosmopolitan, where Coles was editor-in-chief.

This show is what millennials need right now because it touches upon bumps in the road you can encounter as a young woman trying to work in the magazine industry. It shows how you can work your way from the bottom up in a company.

I’m one of those people who also gets heavily invested in a show. So while I binge-watched the first season in a couple of days, I was relieved to find out the show has been renewed for a 2nd and 3rd season.

Without giving too much away, I hope more people take notes from this show and find the inspiration I was able to find to continue to pursue my dreams, no matter how risky it may seem.

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.

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.
