Coming Home To Paddy's Pub

The Gang is back for round thirteen.

I have my older brother to thank for getting me into one of my now-favorite shows. Much to my mother's chagrin, it's considered highly inappropriate, and she's annoyed whenever we turn it on. While she's not a fan, it's my go-to when I just need something to watch.

"It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia" is nowhere near being one of those family-friendly sitcoms with a tight-knit group of friends that get through everything together (such as "Friends" or "New Girl"). It's basically the complete opposite. The Gang consisting of Mac, Dee, Dennis, Charlie, and Frank constantly focus on wildly inappropriate topics while fighting with each other in every episode -- and that's over 150 episodes now. It's hilarious for someone with a twisted sense of humor but others think it goes just a little too far to be funny.

It's the same concept for a show like "South Park" (which my mom also does not like). Everyone's kind of terrible and inappropriate at all times. But shows like "South Park" and "Sunny" do something others can't -- they go to places others won't because they've already broken through that mold.

When you've been doing your own thing for so long, you're not going to go back and conform just so more people will say your show is funny. These shows already have plenty of loyal viewers and do well enough with what some would say is lowbrow comedy. The subject material may be vulgar at times, but it's so smart -- other shows can't make you laugh and question gun policy all in the same episode, and most wouldn't even try.

I for one have accepted my dark sense of humor and have enjoyed each and every episode of "Sunny." I was fully prepared for season thirteen to premiere and am so happy to see my favorite dysfunctional bar crew again.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

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.
