It's no secret that Hollywood has something for the British Royal family. We may have separated from them and gained our own independence centuries ago, but since the reign of Donald Trump, and even before that, U.S. citizens are flocking toward the popularity, grace, and effectiveness of the Royals.

I've been absolutely in love with England and everything about it since before I can even remember, to tell you the truth. So, when I say Netflix is just as obsessed as Americans seem to be, I know what I'm talking about.

When I connect the Royal family and Netflix, your thought process might happen to go directly toward "The Crown," and while it is certainly a very popular and current show about the Royals, there's plenty more where that came from! Here is a list of my top five picks for other Royal fanatics out there, not including "The Crown" because, let's be honest, we've already binged it two or three times anyways!

1. "The Royals"

Not to be confused with E Network's TV show, "The Royals," this Netflix hit follows our favorite royal family and is sectioned into the specific areas of their lives, from royal scandals to royal babies and teens. It's got both insightful wisdom from trusted advisors to the royal family as well as all the juicy gossip viewers could hope for!

2. "The Royal House of Windsor"

This documentarian series focuses on the last 100 years of the British monarchy. It looks into the more governmental side of things through the lenses of politics and power struggles. If there's one thing people can acknowledge concerning the Royal family, it's the fact that they know how to continue to come out on top when it comes to a power struggle.

3. "Elizabeth at 90: A Family Tribute"

Released on the eve of her 90th birthday, this hour-and-a-half movie uses real-time footage and home videos to shed light on the grace, elegance, and intelligence that exudes from Queen Elizabeth II.

4. "Diana: 7 Days That Shook The World"

I'd be lying if I said I didn't have a natural curiosity toward Diana, Princess of Wales, or "the people's princess" as I've heard some call her. This may be due to the fact that she passed away a little over a year before I was born or simply because I already love the Royals. But one thing's for sure, Diana was unlike any other royal at or before that time. I think Diana is the major reason why William and Harry are who they are today, and are as open and caring with the public as they have been. I also think that their wives exude so much of Diana's character, even though they never knew her personally. This documentary follows the media and public outcry in the seven days after the death of their princess and before her funeral.

5. "Edward VIII: The Nazi King" 

Edward VIII is the famous monarch that chose to give up his throne for love. He chose to marry an American woman who had been divorced, much to the dismay of his family, and stayed by her side until their deaths. However, he also had a darker side than anyone imagined on the outside. Ruling and in the spotlight during the second World War, Edward VIII held sympathy for the one nation that seemed at its darkest - Nazi Germany.

Those are five of my favorite series or movies about the British Royal family (other than "The Crown," obviously). If you're a Royal fanatic, take a look and see what you think! Either way, you'll learn more about this famous family that's held their own in the spotlight for centuries.

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.
