'Tis the season for Netflix and snacks.

Faces Anyone Who Has Binged A Show Will Recognize
Productive Magazine

Summer is undeniably a time for restlessness, idleness, and copious amounts of time wasted. Even though the end of May brings optimistic hopes of "getting a head start" on reading for the fall semester or "finally getting healthy" or catching up on your sleep so you can be on a "normal sleep pattern". But, without fail, the end of July comes around before you've gotten the chance to catch up with all those hometown high school friends you promised you would. One of the greatest time suckers of all time is our best friend and worst enemy, Netflix. All my binge watchers out there living large this summer (not leaving bed all day), this is for you.

1. The "You have to watch this show"

Alright, if you say so. It sounds interesting enough.

2. The "Can't get enough"

They're known to scream, "This is the best show ever written!"

3. The "Trying and failing to avoid spoilers"

Bonus points if your friends have already seen the whole series and constantly forget that you haven't.

4. The "It's a beautiful day outside but I can't be bothered"

Sure, everyone you know is on vacation or at a music festival, but you're enjoying hours of endless entertainment for (almost) free.

5. The "This is the last episode I'm watching before I go to sleep"

Who decided that every single episode should end in a cliffhanger? What sick, twisted person has done this to me?

6. The "Have you done anything all day?"

No, Mom, I have not. And I will not.

7. The "OMG, I finished a season in less than a day"

I feel a weird combination of pride and disgust at your "accomplishment."

8. The "Only three more episodes!!!"

There are far too many loose ends; they cannot possibly resolve everything.

9. The "What do you mean that's the end?!"

I demand more!!! Reunite the cast! Make a movie! Anything to keep the series alive!

10. The "My life is empty without this show"

The characters felt like friends, maybe even family, and without their lives to distract you from your own, everything just feels pointless.

11. The "What should I watch next?"

You will find another show to binge and you will repeat the entire process again. But then again, if you don't, maybe you'll actually get up and start doing productive things!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
