Sabrina Spellman Is The H.W.I.C. We All Need In Our Lives

On October 26th, Netflix dropped it's most recent series, "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina." The plot follows the young half-witch, Sabrina Spellman, as she learns how to balance her two lives.

The original series about this teen was the iconic '90s comedy "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch." While this show was more plucky and silly, "CAOS" follows a darker, more twisted plot line. Similarly to the OG series, Salem, Sabrina's beloved cat and familiar still appears, however he only speaks once in the series and his voice and demeanor is a little spooky.

WARNING: A few minor spoilers ahead. Read at your own risk.

I somehow managed to binge the entire series in less than a day. In doing so, I noticed some things that set this show apart from a lot of other ones on the rise currently. The representation on this show is phenomenal. One of the main characters and my personal favorite is Ambrose, Sabrina's cousin. His one-liners are stellar, and he is also openly pansexual on the show. He is witty, flirty, fine, funny, and tells Sabrina when she's out of line.

Sabrina's best friends are Jaz, Susie, and Harvey. Jaz is a young African-American woman who is struggling with losing her eyesight and trying to establish a group called WICCA, where students can come to feel supported and have a voice. Harvey is Sabrina's boyfriend who loses his brother in a mining accident, who has an alcoholic father who doesn't support him, but who really just wants to live the best, happiest life he can. Susie is a non-binary badass who is learning to stand up for themselves with the help of their friends and the ghost of her deceased relative's ghost.

This show also tackles toxic masculinity and sexism. The principal of Baxter High School doesn't reprimand football players when they bully Susie. He also doesn't let the group establish WICCA. He tries to ban books and then cover it up. There are countless scenes in the series where we see strong powerful people putting these types of boys in their place. One of my personal favorite lines from the series comes from a witch named Prudence who says, "You had me at 'boys to torment.'"

CAOS tackles internal and external struggles, fighting on the line between good and evil, and trying to make the most out of the high school experience. It's one of the best coming-of-age shows, with a twist, and will leave anyone watching feeling a little scared. The show's style and aesthetic tie it together perfectly and make characters pop from scene to scene. The character development is phenomenal. The storyline is phenomenal. This show is phenomenal.

If you haven't done so already, go watch the "Chilling Adventures Of Sabrina" on Netflix. And if you have watched it, watch it again.

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.
