A Thank You Letter To Sense 8

Goodbye to our favorite cluster.

A Thank You Letter To Sense 8

Netflix surprised us all this past week with a 6 show cancellation that included some fan favorites like Marco Polo, The Get Down, and the currently trending Sense 8. I had intended to write about all the reasons why you should watch Sense 8, but since we will forever be left hanging on what the 3rd season could've brought us, here's a thank you letter to everything Sense 8 managed to give us in its 2 season run.

1. Thank for the diversity.

A quite literal global show that took us into places such as Africa, Mexico, Iceland, Brazil, and so many others during its 2 season run and brought us characters from all walks of life. Sure, there have been shows that have transported us to other countries, but Sense 8 somehow made you feel like you were walking the same streets of Amsterdam along with the characters and their story lines. The diversity of the cast itself and the places it chose to showcase was a breath of fresh air.

2. Thank you for the representation.

The cast was as diverse as the stories that surrounded them and their culture. There was nothing generic about the characters and I still don't want to say too much without giving away important character plotlines because they all matter towards the bigger picture. All 8 gentle souls disguised in their bodies and connected telepathically in a way that reminded the audience just how similar we all really are, despite our differences.

3. Thank you for the team work.

Somehow these 8 beings who have never met and have nothing in common all somehow manage to work together for the greater good of their cluster. All of their weaknesses and strengths reminding audiences that there is something we can offer each other, even in the darkest of moments.

4. Thank you for the laughs.

Even though this show was mostly serious and action packed, there are moments when you find yourself laughing at the hilarity that is the entire cluster situation.

5. Thank you for the action.

Because we all love a good fight scene and even though I am the worst with blood and gore, for this show I was grateful at its brutal honesty and action packed story lines.

6. Thank you for the tears.

Both happy and sad because, let's be honest, this show could not have been a hit without being an emotional roller coaster.

7. Thank you for the friendship

The cluster is a group of 8 people who in our universe would have never crossed paths, and if they had they would have kept walking, but in the Sense 8 universe, the bond of their friendship is unbreakable-no matter the cost or the risk.

8. Thank you for the love

A show that brought 8 people together both physically and mentally in 2 seasons and somehow managed to make an even better love story than Twilight.

Even though there is little hope of this show getting its happy ending or any ending at this point, I still highly recommend at least watching the 1st season to know why the uproar has been so loud in favor of Sense 8.

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.

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.
