(This article explains the importance of this show but does not give any spoilers because I want you all to watch it for yourself). If you have not heard of Good Girls Revolt, look it up. If you have not seen Good Girls Revolt, watch (or binge) it now. This show is as revolutionary as the premise it stands on. Good Girls Revolt was the #1 watched show by Amazon by women (and for good reason). This show was the number two most watched show overall as an Amazon original. I binged this show in two days and was heartbroken to find out Amazon is not taking it back for a second season. With everything going on with women's rights right now, this is a very important show to continue and to advertise. This show is being shopped around for whoever wants to take it up on its second season (please Netflix or Hulu save this masterpiece).

Alright so I've been talking about how amazing this show is, but you still have no idea what this show is based on. Good Girls Revolt is so far, a one season, ten episode series drama that looks at the personal and professional lives of the employees at News of The Week which is based on a real American magazine in the late 1960s. The women of this magazine are only allowed in the pit as researchers, paid half of what the men get as reporters. Good Girls Revolt is an American television series. It is based on the book The Good Girls Revolt, written by Lynn Povich and based on real-life events.

These women are going to be faces of the revolution for women's rights. They go to the ACLU and get a lawyer to file a formal complaint so as to not jeopardize their jobs. This show needs to be brought back for another season and everyone needs to watch it and appreicate it's importance.

Please please please watch this important show about these revolutionary women.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
