The Latest Must-Binge Show On Netflix

With the beginning of April came a new wave of shows and movies to come and leave Netflix. While the fact that “The Princess Bride” is being removed deeply saddens us all, one show coming to the streaming service offers some consolation. That show is “Wynonna Earp”.

“Wynonna Earp” is a Canadian-produced show that airs on the network SyFy. It follows the story of the Earp family, descendants of the infamous Wyatt Earp, as they fight to break a curse in the little town of Purgatory that causes all the previous outlaws killed by Wyatt to be resurrected as revenants, hell-bent on destroying the Earp line. Wynonna is the current Earp heir, capable of wielding Peacemaker, Wyatt’s gun which is the only thing that can send the revenants back to hell. Helping her is her sister Waverly, an agent of a secret government organization, and the real Doc Holliday.

The premise might take some processing, but it all makes sense when you watch the show. If you are a fan of “Supernatural”, I highly recommend this show. Picture “Supernatural” but with a badass female lead. She does find herself with two male suitors, but the love triangle is not the main focus at all, and is even called out within the show. Wynonna is a strong female character who exists perfectly without a boyfriend.

Wynonna’s little sister Waverly is a reason to watch the show herself. Though Waverly is not the Earp heir, she is still a vital member of the team, having spent most of her life researching the Earp curse and each of the revenants that plague the town of Purgatory. She is also a super adorable person, who is able to be strong and stand up for herself.

Wynonna’s little love triangle isn’t the only romance that occurs in the show. Throughout the series Waverly discovers that she has feelings for the newest police deputy, Nicole Haught. This relationship, aptly named Wayhaught, quickly became a fan favorite as it grew into one of the few good specks of LGBTQ+ representation on mainstream media. This show is all beautifully written and produced by Emily Andras, who is an awesome human being trying to make a great show that everyone can enjoy and feel represented in.

Many viewers may turn away from starting “Wynonna Earp” because of the seemingly strange premise, but once you sit down and dive in, you won’t be able to stop watching. Each episode sucks you in further and further. Sure, like every single show on television, it has its flaws, but the story is very interesting, and the storytelling is beautiful. “Wynonna Earp” was just added to Netflix on April 1st, and if you ever find yourself in a grey and gloomy weekend with nothing to do, bingeing this show is the perfect remedy.

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.
