I'm Definitely Not Opposed To "The Opposition"

The newest show from Comedy Central

I'm Definitely Not Opposed To "The Opposition"
Vanity Fair

Throughout my time in New York for school, I've been lucky enough to see more than a few TV tapings in some of the most famous studios in the US, if not the world.

From Jimmy Fallon's The Tonight Show to the ever-funny SNL, being able to watch quality live comedy in a cool, totally unique atmosphere is one of my favorite pastimes. Knowing this, it comes as a surprise to no one that when my job offered me tickets to check out Comedy Central's new show The Opposition with Jordan Klepper, I was totally on board.

Arriving at the show was easy enough: the studio is located in Midtown, and all that stood between me and a very funny evening was a security check and a slightly chilly reception room.

After waiting about a half hour for the show to start--my coworkers and I had arrived at the earliest possible time in order to get good seats--we were ushered into a small studio that was decorated with the corkboard mind-maps of a conspiracy theorist--only these theories were totally revolving around Beyonce, Russia, and the existence of sentient computers.

You see, The Opposition is the exact opposite of its sister network The Daily Show: it mocks the ridiculousness alt-right media by imitating it to the point of hilarity, something that Jordan Klepper was able to pull off flawlessly. With pitch-perfect comic timing and a good-natured grin when not on camera, Klepper leads The Opposition to victory in its quest to deflate the ego of the alt-right.

With episodes available for free streaming online, The Opposition is a new comedy you should definitely check out. And if you score any more studio tickets, feel free to invite me along!

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.
