Sherlock

A show that will turn you into a version of Sherlock Holmes himself.

Sherlock

I could watch shows like "The Office" or "Parks and Recreation" 100 times over and still find myself at the same location come the final episode. Sure, I may find myself understanding new levels of humor placed around each episode, but the conclusion and understanding of those TV shows is always the same. Though it does not make shows like those any less entertaining, I constantly find myself falling deeper and deeper into the trap of one particular show.

"Sherlock," presented by BBC and starring Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch, has to be one of my all time favorite shows. Seriously, I have watched those few 10 episodes over the whole course of three series (seasons) multiple times and it never fails to amaze me. In fact, I have even watched the whole show starting from the last episode and working my way back to episode 1. It's a show like this that keeps me hooked for weeks, even after I've finished watching.

Each time I watch the same episode, I get more and more out of it. I notice more and more, such as elephants falling from tables that I hadn't noticed before or Sherlock making tea while on a case. Though those two examples I just used may seem completely insignificant, when watching the series, those fine details suddenly become the keys, the most important parts to the show.

Sherlock challenges the viewer's observational skills just like Sherlock Holmes himself and I can't help but be totally enveloped in this show. There is so much more to see than just the classic crime show facade. It's absolutely incredible television and you need to watch it. If you've already watched the show on Netflix or elsewhere, you could probably agree that it's a pretty good show, but watch it again, you'll discover more than you could ever imagine. Everything is possible, any theory could line up, the smallest detail could completely change the way you view the show, and then you'll have to watch it again.

I just can't help but brag about this show that has shown such character diversity, arc development and attention to detail that I cannot believe I have watched the same show over 10 times.

Each time it morphs into something new. For every theory there is a fan group dedicated to it. It's impossible not to get lost in the maze that the writers and creators have sculpted. It'll have you wondering "What did they intend for me to see?" "What did they want me to observe?" "Is anything a possibility for my imagination to create or will this all make sense soon?" It sometimes takes me hours over the hour and a half running time of each episode for me to research something I previously missed. It's incredible how meticulously this show is planned and I can't help but be enamored with it.

This show will make you think harder and dig deeper than any other show I know of. It will make you laugh and it will make you cry. And you are welcome to deduce anything you'd like. Project any view onto it, and it could work. Solve a crime before Sherlock, figure out the heart of John Watson, defeat Jim Moriarty, the game is on if you let it begin.

I guess what I'm telling you is that you need to watch BBC Sherlock because it is absolutely one of the best television shows I have ever watched to date. I can assure you, you won't regret it. (and then please talk to me about it when you're finished)

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.

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.

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.
