Okay, so, it's the only thing that the internet has been talking about for about a week, besides the fact that Season 2 of Thirteen Reasons Why just hit Netflix. So, how come you haven't picked up your remote control and hit play?! The Kissing Booth, light, fluffy, and comedic is a teenage rom-com sensation. It's not very dramatic, except for a couple exceptional parts, but it makes you finish it feeling happy, carefree, and lovey-dovey. It's super sweet, but can also teach a couple of valuable life lessons.

Elle Evans, the leading protagonist, struggles with secretly sustaining a relationship with her longtime crush, Noah Flynn, her best friend's older, mysterious, football-playing, bad-boy, gorgeous senior brother who also happens to be Harvard-bound. Elle's school year starts off on the wrong note, with her pants ripping, meaning she had to resort to her "back-up back-ups" which were more like boy shorts, if anything. On the first day of school, after a harassment from a boy, Noah jumps to her defense and fights the boy, as per his usual first day of school protocol, and the pair end up in the principals office, making conversation about Elle's experience with boys, and the fact that Noah is a big fighter, always in some sort of trouble.

A couple of days after the encounter, it becomes prominent that all of the boys at school are being threatened by Noah that if they wanted to ask her out, they would have to go through him first, and nobody wanted to have to endure Noah Flynn's wrath.

Eventually, Elle, persistent, stubborn, and confident, gets ear of Noah's advancements and she tries to shut it down. Everything is pretty calm, relaxed, with only a little romantic tension between the pair, and the audience is left wondering whether the two are meant to be.

That is, until one fateful night involving an "ex-boyfriend," a carnival, and a Kissing Booth. Elle, who has never had her first kiss, and of course, like all of us, wants to save it for someone special, gets put on the spot when the popular girls force her to take their spot on the stage. They claim that one of their "ex-boyfriends" are there and their close friendship with each other forbids them from having to be the one to kiss him. So, Elle gets sent up to the stage to kiss the mystery dude, and the rest of the story advances from there as we find out who he really is, and who Elle shares her special moment with.

'The Kissing Booth' is a cute, sweet, and simple story about trying new things, finding love in places you would never expect it, and making the most with your significant other while you've still got time.

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.
