On October 1, 2017, a true tragedy befell Netflix users everywhere. The hilarious NBC sitcom "30 Rock" was removed from the streaming service. Created by Tina Fey and inspired by her time as a writer for Saturday Night Live, "30 Rock" follows the life of quirky television writer, Liz Lemon (played by Fey herself).

The removal of the show from Netflix was truly devastating, but that doesn't change the fact that Liz Lemon's character is super relatable. Here are just a few times when Liz's reactions were completely applicable to our lives.

1. When your friends are all posting about their spring breaks and you're still in school.

While you're dealing with your midterms and piles of homework, all of your friends at different schools have already gone home or on some super awesome getaway for their spring break so you're forced to live vicariously through their Instagram posts and neverending Snap stories.

2. When you finally get money and can stop eating Ramen for every meal.

You can only eat Cup Noodles so many times before you actually need to consume real food. Getting some extra cash from your parents or a long-awaited paycheck is always good for times like this.

3. When you don't know how to speak on the phone like a normal adult.

Whether you have to call your doctor or your bank, sometimes adulting can be intimidating and the pressure to sound like you know what you're doing gets to be too much. Don't worry, you'll get the hang of it! Eventually.

4. When you get through a really tough day.

We've all had those super tough days where we're not quite sure how we're going to get through it alive. But we always do, and that's worth celebrating.

5. When you have a test on a Saturday.

Having to go sit in a lecture hall and take an exam is unpleasant most every time, but it's especially horrible when it's during the weekend when you'd rather be sleeping or doing something fun and not school related.

6. When you finally talk to a guy who isn't a total f*ckboy.

In college, decent men can prove to be surprisingly elusive. When you finally find someone who's nice and isn't trying to waste your time, it's most definitely a success.

7. When PMS cravings hit.

This one is pretty self-explanatory.

8. When your favorite show gets removed from Netflix.

So even though we can't stream the genius of "30 Rock" on Netflix anymore, we can all agree that Liz Lemon is, and always will, be awkward, iconic, and super relatable.

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.

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.
