5 TV And Film Masterpieces Made BEFORE The Year 2000

It has been little over a week since I have begun my journey in college. When I am not working out, doing laundry, or getting to know the people in my dorm, a good ole binge is the best thing to get rid of the homesick blues. While newer movies and television shows are great and all, there is something to be said about the classics.

From the cheesy backdrops to some groundbreaking moments, here are five of the best classic movies and television shows.

"Fraiser" (1993 to 2003)

Considered one of the most successful spin-off series to ever be broadcast. The show follows the beloved Cheers character, Fraiser (Kelsey Grammer) on his move to the rainy city of Seattle to start his own radio show. The pretentious therapist must learn how to live with his salt of the earth retired police officer father, equally as a pretentious brother, British housekeeper, and his canine enemy Eddie. All 11 seasons of the Emmy award-winning hit are available on Netflix.

"10 Things I Hate About You" (1999)

If you are like me and love a perfect teen flick, the '90s heartthrob Heath Ledger (rest in peace *insert crying face emoji*) is definitely perfect. Julia Stiles and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are perfect in the '90s version of the loosely mirrored William Shakespeare play "The Taming the Shrew." Cameron (Levitt) attempts to set up Kat (Stiles) with bad boy Patrick (Ledger) so he can take Kat's younger sister to the prom. "10 Things I Hate About You" is available to rent on Amazon Prime for $2.99.

"21 Jumpstreet" (1987-1991)

Before Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum blessed the big screen in two hilarious movies, Johnny Depp (pre-pirate) starred in the Fox show "21 Jumpstreet." The series followed four young undercover cops and one tough captain. With their youthful good looks, they are able to go undercover in high schools to take down some serious crimes. For those rainy nights, "21 Jumpstreet" is available for streaming on Hulu.

"Indiana Jone and the Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and the Last Crusade" (1981, 1984, 1989)

Indiana Jones has to be by far one of the best single heroin franchises and personally the best cure to action movie cravings. The original trilogy follows the adventurer/archaeologist beating the bad guys, getting into trouble, all while looking for archaeological relics. Young Harrison Ford (because young Harrison Ford is one of the best kinds of Harrison Ford) stars as Indiana Jones alongside Karen Allen, Sean Connery, Kate Capshaw, and John Rhys-Davies in the Spielberg and Lucas classics available on Amazon Prime.

"ER" (1994-2009)

Originally proposed as a film for the acclaimed director Steven Spielberg, the NBC show was a sure hit. Another successful show to come out of the '90s, it follows several stories of employees in the ER at County General Hospital in Chicago. The show stars '90s George Clooney as the dashing doctor Doug Ross and Anthony Edwards as the determined and hardworking as doctor Mark Green in the earlier episodes of this long-running television series. All "Greys Anatomy" fans should definitely put this one on their watchlist. All 15 episodes are available on Hulu.

Whether you need a break from partying or a break from your studies, or if you are feeling especially homesick, binging one of these classics is sure to do the trick.

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.
