Goodbye to the Gaines Family

As you may or may not know, Fixer Upper, along with the rest of the HGTV roundup have been removed from Netflix. While it's unclear whether the shows will ever pop back up on our feeds, here are a few more to get you a 'Chip and Jo' fix without the dream team themselves.

1. The Great British Baking Show, or Great British Bake Off

TGBBS (also referred to as GBBO) offers a light-hearted end-of-your-day alternative to the HGTV shows we all love. Even if you're not a foodie, you'll love the low-stress feeling of this cheery little tent competition, set in the English countryside. Mary Berry, the sweet pastry expert judge, will win you over (and you might find yourself wishing that she was your grandmother). Paul Hollywood, the bread baker extraordinaire, seems a bit like a kinder Simon Cowell (perhaps with better hair, but the same high expectations).

2. Small is Beautiful

This tiny house documentary is almost enough to quench your desire for the gorgeous transformations of Fixer Upper. Watch as the most is made of every nook and cranny in the construction of this beautiful little tiny house.

3. New Girl

Look no further for the same kooky humor than Chip Gaines offers his show. New Girl has about 4 'Chips' in the form of Jessica Day's roommates, played by Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris, and Damon Wayans Jr. The boys, each in their own unique style, poke fun at each other and their friends, rarely having a serious moment. Sound familiar?

4. Secrets of Great British Castles

If House Hunters: International is your cup of tea, this look at Britain's oldest and prettiest buildings (and their risky histories) may just do the trick. The host will take you through some of these gorgeous estates and fortresses and details interesting factoids about their constructions of histories.

Whichever of these shows catch your eye, you're sure to be in for a good Netflix fix, even without our beloved Gaines family!

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.
