Another Drug Bust, Another TV Show Plot?
Netflix

Just three days ago, it came to light that another drug bust was made in the city of Springfield, Missouri.

Springfield, Missouri. The place that I have called home since I was eight years old. The place that people say nothing happens in. The city that is home to a club that is now connected to a FIVE MILLION dollar pot conspiracy in Utah.

This place hosts artists from all over the country, parties, and local drag celebrities as well. In the time that all of these people have been there, how could something have not come to light already?

Probably due to partaking in the opportunities as well. We look to believe the best in other people but free weed would attract a lot of people.

When I think of things like this, I am immediately intrigued by the workings of this club and how they managed to get away with it for so long. I wonder what the processes were to make this work.

Then I realize that these news stories sound like the things we used to only hear about in TV shows. How in the hell could something like that of a TV show be happening in my own backyard?

I then remember the world that I live in now.

A world encompassed in a plethora of drugs and the desire for money in the quickest form. We as people, unfortunately, believe that money can buy happiness so people find themselves in situations like this to repair their financial struggles they might be facing at the current time.

The popular show on Netflix called 'Ozark' is a show which shares a similar plot to the news articles we are beginning to see far too often now. However, this centers around a financial adviser who drags his family from Chicago to the state of Missouri and the Ozarks area, Lake of the Ozarks to be specific.

When living in this area he must launder $500 million in five years to appease a drug boss.

The Byrdes and their teenage kids, Charlotte and Jonah, are, for all intents and purposes, an ordinary family with ordinary lives. However we see throughout the course of this show, it is much more gruesome and violent than they could have prepared for.

Shows like this are becoming a relevant part of what seems like a daily conversation. A conversation on how to stop the spread of illegal drugs. Although we may talk about the issues till we feel like we've talked someone's ear off, nothing will be fixed till physical action is taken in whatever form possible.

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.
