5 Reasons You Should Watch Bloodline
Hollywood Reporter

"Bloodline" is one of my favorite TV shows of all-time. It's a Netflix Original that made its debut in early 2015. And the second season came out earlier this year (imagine the binge opportunities!!).

The plot follows the well-respected Rayburn family who runs a small beachfront inn on one of the Florida Keys and specifically focuses on the four adult siblings who grew up at the inn.

And let me tell ya, this is some SERIOUSLY good television! Here's why:

1. Kyle Chandler is a babe and never ceases to be incredible. His performance in this series is NEXT LEVEL and it's something you've never seen from him before. Did I mention he is a total babe?!

2. For you musical theater fans, one of the principal actors in the show originated the character Fiyero in the longstanding and overwhelmingly successful "Wicked" on Broadway! That's right, Norbert Leo Butz plays one of the aforementioned Rayburn siblings caught up in all the drama. You won't see any shots of him in tight white Fiyero pants and he doesn't get to demonstrate his amazing singing voice (sadly) but he is still the same Norbert we know and love!

3. "Bloodline" has some of the best directing in television right now. It's a character-driven drama (the best kind) with complexity and knotted relationships. The audience is taken from one of the main characters' storylines to another in a way that expertly twists the story together, revealing glimpses of itself at just the right times. You never see it coming, and then all of a sudden - BOOM! The credits roll and you watch seven more episodes in one sitting.

4. This story is different because it shows the characters transitioning from good guys to bad guys without you realizing it. You root for these morally-compromised heroes and don't think about their questionable decisions. You find yourself completely attached to the Rayburn team and wanting them to succeed.

5. It's a family drama and a cop drama all rolled into one! Who doesn't want that? Not only do we get to view all the emotional complexities of the characters in the story, but we also get to witness the intellectual complexities in solving crimes surrounding the Rayburns. (Not to mention, cop shows are just super cool.)

Now go watch it! You'll probably finish both seasons by the end of the week. Happy Netflix-ing!

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.
