12 Shows And Movies That Need To Stay On Netflix
Huffington Post

1. The X-Files

With the recent announcement that this paranoia-inspiring sci-fi nineties classic will be returning for an eleventh season, Netflix needs to put the previous ten seasons back on. Like, right now. I want to believe!


2. Buffy The Vampire Slayer

C'mon, Netflix, I wasn't even halfway through season two when you nixed this one. Who doesn't want to watch Sarah Michelle Gellar kicking vampire butt?


3. Studio Ghibli films

I know I'm not the only one who grew up with movies like Kiki's Delivery Service. Sometimes nostalgia hits hard and you want to rewatch the movies you loved when you were a kid.


4. Classic Disney Movies

Netflix does have some Disney movies, but they're mostly Disney Channel originals or more recent releases. It's missing a lot of classic Disney movies, like The Lion King, Peter Pan, and all the princess movies.


5. Castle

Castle has, to my knowledge, never been on Netflix (at least, not in the last three or so years), and it should be. It recently finished its run on ABC, and it'll be a perfect addition for Netflix.


6. The Godfather Trilogy

There is no excuse for this trilogy to not be on Netflix. The Godfather is a cinematic masterpiece. Get to it, Netflix, before you wake up next to a horse head.


7. Harry Potter

This should be self-explanatory. The Harry Potter movies (and books!) have defined a generation. They need to be rewatched over...and over...and over again.


8. Star Wars

Yes, even the prequels.

Again, self-explanatory. With Episode VIII coming out in December, this is the perfect time to add the previous movies so fans can recap.


9. Ghostbusters

Not just the 2016 version (though it's my personal favorite); put all of them on there!


10. Matilda

Matilda is a feel-good movie about a little girl who uses her telepathic abilities and book smarts to outwit her abusive family and villainous school principle. Featuring Danny Devito as both a bad guy and the narrator, and a young and adorable Mara Wilson as the protagonist, this should definitely be on Netflix ASAP.


11. Food Network shows

Alright, Netflix, you took away The X-Files, you took away Buffy--but did you have to take away all the Food Network shows?! Chopped, Cupcake Wars, Worst Cooks in America...those are comfort shows, man! Give 'em back!


12. Agent Carter

The only Marvel film currently on Netflix is Captain America: Civil War, and there are Netflix original series featuring Marvel heroes. Peggy Carter fans were let down horrendously by the mess of a second season and ultimate cancelation of Agent Carter, so I need Netflix to pick it up, or at least let me rewatch it. Please.


Every month, Netflix users win some and lose some. Some shows get taken down, but more are always added. Still, sometimes even with thousands of choices, we're still left with nothing to watch. What do you want to see on Netflix?

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.

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.
