Let me tell you guys something...

I watch "Grey's Anatomy." I watch "Game of Thrones." I watch "The Walking Dead."

However, nothing had me feeling some type of way like "Black Mirror."

Netflix describes the series as: "The sleek world of tomorrow offers opportunities beyond our wildest dreams. At a price of our worst nightmares."

(In a nutshell, the show takes the idea of technology advancement in the future, but it also adds in the aspect of everything possible to go wrong with that technology.)

Charlie Brooker's "Netflix Original" anthology series is not only a sci-fi lover's dream; it is also humanity's greatest horror. Three seasons and five years in the making, Black Mirror is truly like nothing else on television.

If you also watch TWD, refer back to all the emotions you felt in the pit of your stomach during the Season 7 premiere episode, and that is how you feel watching each episode of Black Mirror. Out of 13 episodes, only one has a happy ending, so if you enjoy having your sanity torn to shreds and then having your heart ripped out, chunked on the ground, stepped, and spit on, this show is just for you!

Fair warning, Black Mirror is for adults only. Between the language, sexual content, gore, and disturbing ideas/images, it is very graphic. However, I do recommend the show for couples or best friends because it is an experience in itself, as well as a reliable conversation starter.

I can't say much about the series specifically without spoilers, but it is an anthology series, so each episode is unrelated to the next. It's a compilation of stories with minute references from one episode to another. Yet, that aspect is one of the best parts of the show because you never know what you get next.

All and all, Black Mirror is an emotional roller coaster with totally unforeseen twists, turns, drops, loops, barrel rolls, and complete 180s making you beg for it to stop while simultaneously wanting it to never end. It's a televised train wreck - you don't want to look, but you can't look away.

Please binge watch the series, and let me know what you guys think! You won't (and will) be sorry you did!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
