Netflix Shows to Binge Over Break
Shameless

If you're a college student, you've likely got lots of time to be home for break. While it can be really nice being home for a few days at first, after a while you can feel confused. Once you get used to having the freedom to do what you want when you want it, being back under your childhood roof can be difficult. However, it's also nice to just relax and enjoy your time to do nothing but eat, spend time with family, and binge watch all those tv shows you've been saving up throughout the semester. For those of you looking for a new show to fill all the time with, here's a few to become newly obsessed with.

1. Stranger Things

If you haven't seen this show yet, now is the time to start. It's an 80s sci-fi drama about a group of kids whose friend goes missing and have to work to solve the mystery of his disappearance. Filled with gritty angst, lots of 80s home decor, and a soundtrack full of New Order, you can't go wrong with this show.

2. Shameless

I only just started Shameless, but I've already worked my way through two seasons and am obsessed. Following the story of alcoholic Frank and his children living in Southside Chicago, Shameless is a portrait of neurotic, ingenious, and impoverished America- a subset of people who blend in well with the real world but are doing all they can to make ends meet. Each character on the show has great development, and each provides a different lesson for the watcher. It's well paced and humorous, with just enough conflict to push it along.

3. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life

I wasn't as much of a fan of the four new Gilmore Girls episodes as I had hoped I would be, but at an hour-and-a-half each, they make a great binge-watch. If you've already seen the previous seven seasons of the show (if you haven't, that's a great thing to start watching), you'll understand how nice it is to come back to such a familiar plot. The new episodes feature old characters and new, and provide twists and turns fitting for the Stars Hollow crowd. Let's just hope they keep going with the revival and add new episodes explaining those last four words.

4. The Crown

The Crown tells the story of young Queen Elizabeth as she navigates the difficulties of an ascent to the throne. With gorgeous scenery, fantastic acting, and a historical storyline, the show is perfect to watch when you need something new and different. It finally gives a voice to a queen everyone knows but never truly understood, and provides insight into the workings of monarchy and corruption of government, leaving the watcher captivated and enchanted by the world of 20th century England.

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.
