Pay Your Subscription, OITNB  Is Coming

In less than a month, on June 17th to be exact, the Netflix heavens will open and gift us all with season four of Orange is the New Black. Like many Litchfield lovers, I can be found on my couch for thirteen hours straight on premiere day. Normally, I try to stay away from the trailers and spoilers, but this year, I couldn't resist. I caved. I watched the trailer. Several times. Here's the break down of what happens.

I have to start by telling you to stop reading this now if you haven't seen the previous episodes of OITNB and want to watch them all. Breaking down the trailer will inevitably ruin some previous part of the series for you. Disclaimer done, read on at your own risk.

The trailer starts out pretty light. There's a lot of joking from our favorite inmates, especially Nicky, who tells us that the Litchfield prison is "just like the Hamptons, only horrible." Taystee and Suzanne give us a lesson in politics with banter about Obama serving as president so everyone else can be in prison. All in all, it looks like the Litchfield we know and love.

Soon after the laughter ends, we find out that "for profit" Litchfield guarantees some changes to the system with the introduction of 100 new inmates this season. Caputo calls for more guards to handle the influx, and to put it politely, they look mean. SWAT team and unnecessary airhorn mean. Speaking of mean, Gloria threatens Piper, who is "starting to feel unsafe." What else is new there? I'm sensing a lot of whining and whispering in our future, but again, what else is new with Piper.

We see a few new inmates, one of which wears a hijab. I am always glad to see OITNB break the mold by including a variety of peoples and cultures. Another newbie complains to a very concerned looking Poussey about how women her age still deserve a sex life. It looks like the relationship between the very granola Soso and the very not granola Poussey, who is high key my favorite character, is still developing in to the fourth season.

This trailer leaves so many questions unanswered. Alex Vause is no where to be seen, leaving fans to wonder if Aydin really did kill her off in the greenhouse at the end of season 3. Most importantly, WHERE IS DAYA'S BABY? Or Daya. She's not really around in this trailer either. We also get zero clues about what crazy Morello will be doing this time around. All in all, we have no solid clues about what any of the inmates will be doing.

Without surprise, OITNB tries to dig deep to give audience members a lesson to hold on to, even in this short trailer. Surprisingly, this lesson comes from Pennsatucky, who reminds us that the difference between pain and suffering is that pain is always there while suffering is a choice. So there you have it. Season four promises to be Lit(chfield).

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.
