"My Favorite Murder" is hosted by two comical women, Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark. The two produce every episode at one of their homes, and pretty much just discuss murders. Every episode, they dive into details of a murder case they had researched that week. Sometimes they will follow a theme, or they will talk about a random weird case.

Now, before you think this is crazy and absurd, know that there's more to it than a fascination for true crime. Karen and Georgia do much more than tell scary true stories of the World's Worst.

From listening to "My Favorite Murder," I have not only learned some gruesome horror stories of people, but I have also learned to become self-aware. It's not strange to have a fascination with the macabre and abnormal minds of twisted people; it's a fascination that someone can think in such a way. I struggle to wrap my head around the fact that there are so many perverse people in the world that have a sickening chemical imbalance that can cause them to commit such heinous acts. But from all these horrific stories, I have listened and observed how to protect myself.

Many young women are at a high risk of falling victim to crimes, and it's quite unfortunate that we must watch our backs. But nonetheless, it's always good to know your surroundings. Karen and Georgia have taught me what to do in a suspenseful situation and how I can help others in danger. Being observant not only protects yourself but also the backs of others. You shouldn't sit back and wait for another to come to your rescue.

Be your own hero. Never fall victim to the bystander effect and expect another to leap forward. You can do it too. If ever in the position where someone needs immediate attention, do not hesitate to step forward to save their lives and your own.

Thanks to Karen and Georgia, I feel empowered to be a woman who isn't afraid to fight back and defend myself. Always observe your surroundings and be alert because you never know what could happen. "My Favorite Murder" is the best part of my daily routine as I drive, get ready in the morning, or just relax. This podcast is so much more than despicable true crimes, it's a life lesson podcast about being formidable in today's dark world.

Go listen to one episode of "My Favorite Murder" and I promise you'll be hooked on these women's hilarious commentary and intriguing stories.

And finally, stay sexy and don't get murdered.

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.
