A New Hobby for Crime Show Lovers Like Myself

I know one of the most popular themes of TV shows these days is crime. I have seen all of Law & Order SVU, Criminal Minds, Dexter, Blue Bloods, and much, much more. You name it, I've binged it. But now, after finishing what's on Netflix and catching up to real time on cable, what do I do?

Recently I have been spending my TV time on YouTube, watching "vloggers" like Emma Chamberlain, David Dobrik, Olivia Jade, Tana Mongeau, and many more like this. While going through these strings of videos, I came across a girl named Kendall Rae.

Kendall Rae's YouTube page includes a lot of personal stories, which is what we look for in these YouTube stars. But, she also takes a very big interest in non-fiction crime. She does segments including "true crime," where she talks about interesting cases, "found," where she talks about people who have been missing for a long time and they are reunited with their family, and "where is…," where she raises awareness for cases where kids have gone missing and still have yet to be found.

Each video is about twenty to thirty minutes long, so about half of a crime show on Netflix. And, every story is real, which makes it more interesting in my opinion. After watching one of Kendall Rae's videos, I go research the cases and what happened in court (if the case made it this far) to study real-life examples and learn more about my potential future career.

Kendall Rae tells the stories in a very organized, in-depth manner, making it very easy to understand and pay attention to. She uses vocabulary that everyone will understand, not only crime fanatics or people who have been studying crime for long periods of time. The videos are extremely entertaining and informative, and I applaud Kendall for this.

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
