How To: Netflix And Chill (Properly)

Amidst endless controversies in our society, one of the biggest, if not the biggest, is how to properly Netflix and Chill. Now, if you go on any kind of social media or watch the news or don't live under a rock, you probably know what the phrase Netflix and Chill means (if not, feel free to Urban Dictionary it...). However, after much research, studies have shown a new way to Netflix and Chill has surfaced. Therefore, I would like to introduce you to the new and improved way to Netflix and Chill.

Disclaimer: Content may not be suitable for some children, animals, or those not subscribed to Netflix.

Step One: Return home or retire back to your dorm after a long day of work/classes. Unwind with a nice glass of wine, or a cheap bottle of water for those underage, broke college kids. Grab any snacks that you may need during the course of your Netflix and Chill time. This could be a long night.

Step Two: Clear that schedule. Grab a phone, calendar, planner, anything that you could use to clear your schedule. Netflix and Chilling is a very complicated and time-consuming process. It's important that you not be interrupted.

Step Three: Referring to the previous step, it is now time to send out a mass text message to all of the people that might possibly interrupt your Netflix and Chill time. It is recommended that you text friends, family (parents in particular), co-workers, bosses, roommates, etc. This includes updates from news apps and social media apps, even Tinder. The world can wait. You're about to Netflix and Chill. They'll understand.

Step Four: The one person that you definitely need nearby is that pizza man. Domino's is among the favorites because they deliver. If you have a dog at your disposal, now would be the appropriate time to gather that canine and carefully place him/her on your lap. It's very important that the dog be the most comfortable of all of the parties participating in this Netflix and Chill session, so that the dog will stay for the entire duration.

Step Five: While receiving your pizza from the pizza man, use this opportunity to cover all of the bodily necessities that may need to be satisfied while you're enjoying your Netflix and Chill. This includes using the bathroom, getting a drink of water, online shopping, texting back your boyfriend to leave you alone, locking your door because this will be a long night, etc. Let's be real, the next time you see daylight might be 48 hours from now.

Step Six: Finally, you are ready for Netflix and Chill. This may perhaps be the biggest decision you've made all week. In order to fully participate in and enjoy Netflix and Chill, you must choose a show that you will not turn off. Netflix and Chill guidelines ensure that reaching for the remote or mouse may be too strenuous for the body to handle during full penetration of Netflix and Chill.

Step Seven: Congratulations, you are now completely immersed in Netflix and Chill! It's been a long way coming and incredibly challenging on an internal level, but the results will pay off. Be sure to apply Netflix and Chill for approximately 12-24 hours. Any longer than that can be very dangerous to the body and mind, however, many choose to ignore this rule. Society has made it socially acceptable, so if your timing exceeds the stated time frame, there's no need for alarm. You are advised though to limit as much contact with the outside world as possible. Netflix and Chill is about you and you alone. However many brain cells you lose in the process cannot be blamed on anyone else. Enjoy!

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.

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.
