If you know anything about me, you know I adore a T.V. show with a strong female lead. And the CW's "iZombie" is no exception. Currently midway through its 4th season, the show has an amazing cast, incredible show runner and even has 98% on Rotten Tomatoes' Tomatometer. So why is it us fans get anxious every year worrying about renewal?! Beats me, but I'm here to give you 6 reasons why you should be watching this incredible series!

1. Strong Female Lead.

Let's face it, CW has a knack for giving us shows with a little diversity in our leading ladies. What makes Liv Moore a strong female lead you ask? Well, she eats the brains of murder victims to help find killers and lock them up for good for starters. And you thought Olivia Benson was the only crime fighting Liv worth mentioning. Rose McIver's portrayal of Liv will keep you laughing, on the edge of your seat and often overjoyed to find one small woman can play so many roles with ease.

2. Fun Take On Zombies.

Now I love the classic zombie flick as much as the next horror fan, but I can't deny how delighting it is to get a fresh take on zombie lore. From its comic origins, the show takes on zombies from a different perspective. Having zombies that do more than groan and walk slowly into shotgun blasts is not only enjoyable, but creates a whole new set of issues and moral grey area. Plus, doesn't it just totally make you want to see if blondes really do have more fun?

3. THE SQUAD.

My number one favorite thing about this show has to be Liv's troupe of trusty side-kicks. Even if some are ex-lovers and criminal masterminds. I truly dare you to watch this show and not fall madly in love with Ravi portrayed by the owner of my boyfriend's favorite Twitter account, Rahul Kohli. Between Liv's buddy-cop relationship with Clive to a best-friend ship every girl can relate to with Peyton, the show creates an ensemble that fills the void "Buffy's" Scooby Gang left in my heart. OH, AND DID I MENTION MAJOR? *drools*

4. Rob Thomas.

If anything gives you a reason to tune in to iZombie, it should be the incredible storytelling brought to life through show runner Rob Thomas. Not Matchbox Twenty Rob Thomas, but the Rob who brought you the cult classic "Veronica Mars" and the Showtime comedy "Party Down". Thomas' work is amazing but he has the luck of a post-Buffy Joss Whedon, so let's not let that trend continue, thanks.

5. Basically Fun Schizophrenia.

Liv's constant personality shifts on account of the brains she eats makes each episode a wonder of references, fun outfits and a lot of hilarious changes in diction. When the show first started I remember thinking, they eventually have to run out of ideas, right?!? But I was wrong, and halfway into season 4 we have seen Liv portray everything from a Real Housewife to Hockey Player. When do I get to see Liv play a mock Donald Trump? That's the real question.

6. The Brain Food.

No, I'm not talking avocado and turmeric, I'm talking about actual brains. Well, prop brains, but you get the idea. Every episode we get to watch Liv serve up some brains with a speedy cooking montage a la Tasty, and I swear sometimes they look hella appetizing. The food on this show may have you Googling how to make your own pot stickers, sans the brain of course.

So there you have it, just 6 of the MANY reasons you should be tuning in to CW's "iZombie." The show airs Monday's at 9PM ET and you can catch up on all of the past seasons on Netflix! Be sure to show some love for this awesome series, mostly so I don't have to mail fake brains to the CW this Spring.

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.
