First Impressions Of The CW's Television Show 'Riverdale'

I don't watch much television, but this show has me hooked!

Warner Bros. Television

I don’t watch much television, but recently the television adaptation of the Archie comics came out on the CW. Remember those? Do you remember Betty and Veronica and Archie? As a kid, I really loved those comics. I remember getting some of them for free comic book day and flying through them in a couple of hours. I could never decide if I liked Betty or Veronica better. Anyway, back to the television show. The show is actually called "Riverdale," which is the name of the town where they all live. Oh yeah, and remember Cole Sprouse, from "The Suite Life of Zack and Cody"? He plays the one and only Jughead. Everyone else in the show is newer actors and actresses that I have never seen in anything else.

At its core, the show is a murder mystery. The first episode opens up with Riverdale superstar Jason Blossom dead in the river. At first, they don’t know what happens to him. Officials still don’t know after the first four episodes, but they do find out that instead of drowning, he was shot through the forehead. All the small town turmoil is really gripping and the show is beautifully shot. At the end of each episode, I have been hooked and waiting to know more. It makes me remember how high school was full of bitter people.

As the show has progressed so far, there are more questions than answers. Who killed Jason Blossom? Why is Archie having an affair with his music teacher? Who actually is his music teacher? This was a subplot for the first couple of episodes but I’m convinced that her story arc isn’t over. She seems to be an integral part of the story and I’m interested in seeing where this goes.

Overall, I’ve really enjoyed the first four episodes of the CW’s "Riverdale." I thought the fact that they paired a classic story with a new murder mystery twist was really refreshing (although I might be biased because I love murder mysteries). If you’re looking for something new to watch I highly recommend "Riverdale"! It was so much fun to see all my favorite characters come to life, and I can’t wait to see where the television takes this story.

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
