We're all wondering if the bus can still do its stuff.

Can The Magic School Bus Actually Ride Again?

If there's any generation that will say "back in my day" with the kind of love of a Tamagotchi parent, it's late-90s kids. We've always been so desperate to be a part of the 90s generation that we fervently vouch for anything 90s-related, even though we couldn't even talk until 2000 (but it's fine, we're fine).

It goes to show, then, that we lived forRecess, Hey Arnold, All That, and of course,The Magic School Bus. Ms. Frizzle wasn't just the teacher we wanted, she was the hero we needed. So, it only makes sense that I was as excited as Wanda Li when I found out Fiona, the main character in The Magic School Bus Rides Again, would be voiced by girl-boss Kate McKinnon. Simply put, Kate takes no sh*t, much like her character's predecessor. In the Ghostbusters reboot, she showed a smart and quirky side that totally fits the nerdy theme of The Magic School Bus. And, obviously, she's just funny af.

With that in mind, I was surprised to see so much backlash toward the new Netflix show when I saw the preview for it. But then I remembered the pride that all 90s kids have in their cartoons (you know you do, don't deny it). In every comment, there was a, 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' mentality, which totally makes sense. Everyone knows Fuller House doesn't even hold a torch to the original (is it even a full house without Michelle?!). And, is it just me or... does Raven's Home just not have the same vibe as the first series? With trends like these, it's hard not to be as skeptical as Keesha taught us to be (basically crossing my fingers it's not bad oh bad oh bad, bad, bad).

What are we gonna do, you ask? Well, as the o.g. cool teacher once said, "Take chances!" So, on September 29th, seat belts everyone, because we may well have been frizzled.

*A+ if you caught all the Magic School Bus references*

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.
