A perfect show to binge watch and learn from.

Degrassi's Next Class

We're back to college, and things are going to be messy and busy for the first few weeks, but it's all in excitement and energy.

Hopefully the messiness and craziness won't last for long, and once settled down in your routine you may be looking for a new show to watch. On my holiday break, I binge watched a few shows, the one that sticks out though was Degrassi next class.
True, it's set in a high school atmosphere, and I know that most of us aren't really interested in looking back at high school drama, but, it's really not your typical high school show. The main reason I think it's outstanding is because there's quite brilliant variety of representations in the show, whether it comes to race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, and gender identities.
There's only few shows out there that have this wide variety of different communities being represented on TV. and it made me personally very happy to see my own life- and the lives of many of you, I believe- to be seen on TV.
It's also really worth mentioning that there are a lot of intersectional identities playing a big role on the show, which I believe is super important. The research and truth put in the show is highly appreciated, because the crew is doing it right, and a small example to that was one Syrian character joining the school in season 3 , there were many true aspects and facts to the character that are very relevant and honest, unlike what we usually see in Hollywood movies and news channels.
The show surrounds sexual health and life problems millennials face on an everyday basis. I would recommend this show for anyone who is interested in keeping up with modern conflicts.

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.
