Latest Shows On TV
Mashable

I am a TV junkie.  I watch 20 shows a week -- no joke. So, as an experienced television viewer, I decided to pick up some new shows.   

Selfie. The story of a basic betch, Eliza, who wants to be a better person. Selfie obsessed, she only cares about herself and her looks. Trying to put her loser high school self in the past, she becomes social media famous, but soon finds that the “likes” and “friends” she has on social media are not going to be there for her in the real world. She gets a marketing expert to help her rebrand herself.  
This show reflects on the way our society has become obsessed with technology and the world of social media. It is not the best new show out there, but I like the point that the show is trying to make.     

Manhattan Love Story. Dana just moved to New York and has not been on a date for a while. She started a new job where everyone seems to hate her, and is living with her best friend, Amy, and her husband. Amy forces her husband to set Dana up on a date with Peter. The show follows their new relationship and the viewers will see the ups and downs they go through as their relationship grows. This show is a classic example of the 20-something looking for love. 
Like many other attempts at this theme in a television show, the comedy attempts to reflect reality, although it does not seem all that realistic.  


The Mysteries Of Laura. A new comedy crime show, starring Debra Messing as Laura, a NYPD detective and single mother of twin boys, who likes to get into trouble. Recently divorced, her ex, Jake, is now her boss. Each show follows her through a homicide case, and she always seems to be able to figure out the case by the end of the hour-long show.  
This show is entertaining, although a little far fetched, but it shows Laura as a sort of superwoman feminist hero who can always do it all.  And who doesn’t love Debra Messing.

Red Band Society. This drama follows the lives of sick teenagers living in a hospital and follows the nurses and doctors that take care of them. The show looks at the strong bond these kids feel, living in the hospital together, and the progression of their diseases. 
I think that this is a new kind of show. Although parts can be cheesy, it is a new idea that is being brought to television.  Typically, shows involving hospitals focus on the lives of the doctors, but this one looks at the kids and what it is like for them. It pulls at the heartstrings, and if you like sappy shows than this one is for you.       

A to Z. A romantic comedy with an original twist.  This show goes through the entirety of the relationship of Andrew and Zelda over eight months, three weeks, five days, and one hour.  Each episode is another letter of the alphabet starting with the pilot, “A Is For Acquaintances.”  This is a new way to go through a relationship step-by-step, different than anything I have seen with romantic comedy television before. It has the potential to be something great.     


How To Get Away With Murder.Another hit television show from Shonda Rhimes. This mystery crime drama focuses on a law professor and lawyer, Annalise Keating, who uses her students to help her solve real life cases. Each episode follows a new person Annalise is trying to defend.  The show flashes forward to the students committing a murder and throughout the season the viewers will slowly find out why the murder happened. This is a thrilling drama and is going to be a huge hit.

If some of these shows sound good, and you have decided to watch them instead of going to the library, sorry.  Watch on and enjoy!

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.
