If you’re like me and are a huge fan of the classic television series like “I Dream of Jeannie,” “Bewitched,” and “I Love Lucy,” then you might be familiar with this great series.

Starting in 1985 and continuing for seven years until 1992, “The Golden Girls” was a hit series that won numerous awards while it aired, including a few Golden Globes and a Primetime Emmy. For those of you not familiar with the show,—first of all, it’s streaming on Hulu now, so go watch it—it tells the story of four older women living together in a home in Miami.

There’s Dorothy Zbornak (the wise substitute teacher), Blanche Devereaux (the slutty museum curator), Rose Nylund (the idiot grief counselor), and Sophia Petrillo (Dorothy’s hilarious mother). Spanning one hundred and eighty episodes, all of the girls’ experiences are hilarious, heartwarming adventures anyone would love to watch. It’s certainly a series to make you smile and one you should definitely binge-watch this Winter Break. Here are just a few of some of the best moments from the show to make you laugh and help you get through the homestretch!

Blanche: "I treat my body like a temple."
Sophia: "Yeah, open to everyone, day or night!"







Dorothy: “Oh, back off, Blanche! Not all of us are classified by the Navy as a friendly port!


Dorothy: “Oh, Ma, thank god you’re here!”
Sophia: “Arrested for prostitution, I can’t believe it!”
Blanche: “Sophia, we’re innocent!”
Sophia: “I know that. I can’t believe these dumb cops would think anyone would pay money to sleep with you!”



Sophia: “Jealousy is a very ugly thing, Dorothy. And so are you in anything backless.”



Rose: “Where are you going?”
Dorothy: “To get ice cream or commit a felony. I’ll decide in the car.”



Dorothy: “I feel the power of Satan inside me.”



Rose: “Can I ask a dumb question?”
Dorothy: “Better than anyone I know.”



Dorothy: “You’ll have to excuse my mother. She suffered a slight stroke a few years ago which rendered her totally annoying.”



Blanche: “I’ve been having a good time, and there wasn’t even a man in the room.”



Blanche: “I have a way with auditors. The last time I was audited, I got money back from the government.”
Sophia: “Blanche, it’s not a refund when the audit leaves two twenties on your nightstand.”



Blanche: “Dorothy, what do you think I oughta do with my bed?”
Dorothy: “Put it in the Smithsonian, Blanche. It’s got more miles on it than the Spirit of St. Louis!”



Dorothy: (to Rose) “Go to sleep, sweetheart. Pray for brains.”



Sophia: (to Blanche) “Thanks, you human mattress.”



Rose: “Oh, don't give up, Dorothy. If the ancient Egyptians could move twenty ton stone blocks to build the pyramids, we can move a toilet.”
Dorothy: “Fine, Rose. Get me twenty thousand Hebrews and I'll see what I can do.”



Dorothy: “You just have to learn to live each day just one day at a time.”
Rose: “Well, of course, you do, Dorothy. I mean, if you took them two at a time, you’d end up constantly changing your underwear.”



Rebecca: (Blanche’s daughter) “I'm havin' this baby in a birthin' center. They emphasize natural childbirth without any painkillers.”
Blanche: “Honey, I know I told you where babies come from, but did I ever mention where they come out?”



Stan: (Dorothy’s ex-husband) “Hello, Sophia. You're looking younger every day.”
Sophia: “Hi Stan. And that's a beautiful toupee you're wearing. Great, now we're both liars.”



Dorothy: (to Sophia) “Get back here, you deceitful little Sicilian gekko!”










Dorothy: “Ma, what are you doing out? I thought you were in your room.”
Sophia: “I whittled a gun out of soap and overpowered the guards.”

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.

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.
