Five reasons Making History was cancelled too soon
TV Calendar

1. Leighton Meester's return to television

This Gossip Girl queen returned to television after being on broadway in Of Mice and Men. But her character, Deb, is nothing like her most well-known role, Blair Waldorf. She plays a kind-hearted woman from the 1700's, and just happens to be Paul Revere's daughter. When she falls in love with a time traveling janitor he brings her with him to 2017.

2. Adam Pally

If you loved him on the Mindy Project you'll love him even more in Making History. He plays a college janitor that uses a time machine his father created to go back in time for his own benefit until his friend Chris and girlfriend Deb get involved and he can fix the past to benefit the present.

3. John Hancock and Sam Adams


These reoccurring characters are one of the funniest parts of this comedy. Most of their jokes about early America actually tend to poke fun at current events.

4. References


When the main character, Dan, begins time traveling he originally uses it just to use songs and movie quotes from the present to impress people in the past. Throughout the series Dan, his friend and co-worker Chris, and Deb Revere travel to different periods of time such as Chicago 1919 so that they could bet on the World Series.

5. It ended with a cliff hanger


*Spoiler Alert* In one of the final episodes of the one and only season a reporter begins investigating Deb and Dan when she finds out they are running an ice cream shop purchased by John Hancock and Sam Adams, while they are visiting 2017. Now we will never know what happens.

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.

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:

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.
