Many of us, including myself over this past winter break, find ourselves with too much time on our hands. If you find yourself with a day or two to yourself with nothing to do, consider starting one of these entertaining Netflix shows! The only problem is once you start watching it, you may find yourself several seasons in and unable to stop!

4. Prison Break

Upon Lincoln Burrows' conviction of a murder he did not commit, his brother, Michael Scofield, creates an elaborate plan to break his innocent brother out of jail. To set this plan in motion, Michael Scofield must first join his brother behind bars where he finds himself making many friends but even more enemies.

6. Stranger Things

Inspired by the 1980's, this science fiction drama is sure to give you the chills. When 12-year-old Will goes missing, an investigation into his sudden disappearance is launched. Throughout the investigation, strange discoveries such as an unusual girl and supernatural forces are made.

7. Dexter

Dexter Morgan is known as a blood splatter expert who not only solves murders, but commits them too. Despite being a serial killer, Dexter feels justified in the fact he only murders the guilty.

8. Criminal Minds

A group of FBI profilers who are experts when it comes to analyzing the minds of twisted criminals in order to anticipate their next move and save the criminal's next victim.

9. Bones

14. Parks and Recreation

Similar to The Office, Parks and Recreation is a comedy that focuses on a group of government employees who work in the Parks and Recreation Department. Each character is clearly different from each other, from Leslie Knope who is passionate, motivated, and optimistic to Ron Swanson who, despite working for the government, despises it and opposes everything it stands for.

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.

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.
