Five Reasons Why "Shameless" Is SO Addicting

1. The humor.

It’s raw, it’s real, its even raunchy. Whether it’s a sarcastic remark from Frank, a genuine, innocent question from Deb, or a crazy Kev and Veronica sex scene, you can’t help but laugh.

2. It’s real.

Remember that one time Frank made a comment comparing the Southside of Chicago to the Gardens of Eden? Yeah, I was shocked too. The beauty of this show is it’s relatability to the current events of our time. It also gives insight to the struggles of alcoholism and how it can affect everyone around you. It shows the struggles of making ends meet, and it gives a realistic view of what life is like in the slums of almost any city across America. If you can’t relate to it, you at least gain respect for those who can.

3. It addresses taboos that other shows don’t.

Monica’s Bi-Polar disorder, Deb’s teenage pregnancy, Fiona’s trust issues, Mickey and Ian’s secret gay relationship, Kev and Veronica’s infertility struggles. Shameless sheds light upon issues that many other series do not. Although it is impossible to accurately depict every issue in society, Shameless does a kick ass job at depicting the ones they choose. This show teaches you to be accepting of others issues, rather than judging without knowing the truth.

4. LIP GALLAGHER.

His drop dead looks, his astonishing intelligence, his will to take care of and stick up for his family. Lip Gallagher is the bad boy we all secretly dream of, admit it.

5. The action. All of the action.

There are no boring episodes. You are left hanging in suspense at the end of every episode. Each episode (sometimes every scene) reveals a new twist in the ever-changing plot.

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.
