How Prison Break Changed My Life

PSA: DO NOT read if you haven't watched Prison Break UNLESS you are willing to read spoilers.

Coming back from vacation I needed a good show to watch. Everyone has been saying great things about Prison Break, and the fact that it is coming back super soon is also a plus. So about a week and a half ago I started up Prison Break. I maintained a work schedule, sleeping a good average of 10 hours and I managed to finish it within a week and a half. It's addicting. This is what it has done to my life.

Prison Break is weird I'm not going to lie. The whole HUGELY corrupt government and the many surprises the creators have up their sleeve, the fact that out of everyone in the prison with Michael he ends up bringing T-Bag the worst of the worst (who also ends up getting in his way and giving him a hard time accomplishing things.) Lord the frustration.

Basically, I WANT TO MEET MICHAEL SCOFIELD. He's like a brooding, dark, and sexy, like can I just hug him? His mind is brilliant. I'm always surprised and impressed with what he comes up with. He's the center of the show to me. I understand how some people think the center of the show in Lincoln because Michael breaks his brother out, but it's about Michael. What a man he is. I'm not sure how or what but something about this character makes me want to binge the show. I don't know how I'm going to wait week after week for an episode. I could barely wait the 10 seconds after the episode ending and the new one loaded.

I love Lincoln's love for his son, and for those he cares about. He just wants the best life the ones he loves can have. It's endearing and heartwarming in a show of killers, hunting to death, and death.

I'm in this haze right now of not knowing what to do. I know that I just finished the show, but I want to watch it all over again... and again...and again...you get the point. I also can't wrap my head around the fact that they ended this back in 2009. Like why wait seven-ish years to reboot? Lord my mind is boggled.

Going back to Michael, and his mind. He is so dense and it works. He works, the show works, the everything works. The fact that the tattoos were his map out of there. Holy...! AND MAHONE FIGURED IT OUT. And then Mahone became loyal to Michael. The world is full of unique forgiving people we just have to search and cross paths with.

Prison Break also showed me a lot. I know that the corrections system is corrupt. I've known that for a while. I've just never seen anything as bad as how Bellick (bless his soul at the end of the series) ran and did the things he did. Or how the other guards did the things they did. And when Sarah goes to prison and all the guards gang up on her?

AND THE GOVERNMENT! How none of the men (and Sarah) could trust anyone from the government. The way they handed Scylla over to the right man was shocking at first. Like man you alive? Okay..okay now where's Abruzzi? Is he coming back too?

This show has my mind racing with everything it's given me. There's not another show I could write this about. (JK GREYS.) There's this special way that Prison Break is that sucks everyone in and keeps them sucked into that illusion of fiction. I could honestly keep going. There is much more I could write about. Like, how every character can change how you feel about one particular circumstance and much more. But, I bet you just don't want to read anymore and that's fine. I'll be back one day with a part two. Don't worry. I'll have 100 parts on why this show is great and life changing.

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.

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.
