This week, the list of shows and movies that will be added to Netflix was released. I got excited as I browsed through my new ways to procrastinate more important things. However, as I went through the list of tv shows leaving in November, I saw one too familiar. How I Met Your Mother, by far my absolute favorite tv show, is leaving Netflix.

Relationships revolve around the show. Someone is always in a relationship, and some form of drama comes with these relationships. In honor of the show that I have spent countless hours watching and rewatching, here are the best and worst relationships from the nine seasons of the show. (Warning: Spoilers ahead.)



Ted and Zoey

This a very sticky relationship from the start. Zoey is protesting against a new building that Ted is running. It is his dream to have his own architecture in the New York City skyline, so the fact that Zoey is against that is not the healthiest way to have a relationship.

Robin and Kevin

Kevin is initially Robin’s therapist. So once Kevin decides he likes her and can no longer they be her therapist, they begin to date. He has very deep feelings for her, but they are not reciprocated because Robin still has feelings for Barney.

Barney and Quinn


This is a very interesting relationship from start to finish. It never seems very serious, until Barney suddenly proposes to Quinn, and they are looking to get married. Quinn and Barney attempt to negotiate prenuptials, and realize after intense fighting that they do not trust each other. The engagement is then broken off.

Ted and Stella

Ted first meets Stella when he has to get a butterfly tattoo removed. Throughout his sessions, he tries to flirt with Stella and convince her to go out with him. Eventually, he is successful, and they have a steady relationship. They progress, and then Ted decides that Stella is the one and proposes. They stay together all the way up til wedding day. Stella leaves Ted at the altar for the father of her child.

Ted and Victoria

Victoria, in my opinion, is one of Ted’s more stable relationships. They meet at a wedding and have an amazing relationship until she leaves to follow her cooking dreams in Germany. The long-distance relationship blows up in their face. Even though they do eventually meet and date again, it was never the same after Victoria left for Germany.

Robin and Ted

So, I know that everyone thinks Ted and Robin are supposed to be the couple, and they should end up together. While they do essentially end up together, I feel their relationship was way too dragged out and they no longer had the same love for each other that they once did.

Ted and Tracy

While their time together on the show is short, the few scenes together prove that she is Ted’s soulmate. They are the same person, and have an amazing, yet short, marriage.

Barney and Robin

Personally, I think this is the relationship that should have stayed together. Never in my wildest dreams when I first watched the show would I think Barney and Robin would date, let alone get married. However, I loved their relationship from start to finish, and am still bitter about the way things ended between them.

Marshall and Lily

This will always be my favorite couple. Despite the slip up in season 2, they are always together, and always in love. You can tell that “Marshmallow” and “Lilypad” truly care for each other, and they really are best friends. Their relationship is one for the books.


Netflix, don't take this away from us, please.

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:

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.
