Summer is finally here and there is no looking back! That means no school, hanging out with friends and family, going camping, and doing whatever you want all day long. If one of your favorite things to do is binge watch Netflix or Hulu, or even cable television (if you can afford that luxury as a poor college student), then here are some awesome shows to get hooked on.

1. Grace and Frankie

"Grace and Frankie" is an endearing show about two women in their 60s trying to figure out their new lives as single women after their husbands left them...for each other. It's funny, sweet, and an instant favorite. It's also been renewed for a 5th season, which will feature to feature the fabulous Ru Paul!

2. Stranger Things


Think "Ghost Busters" but the ghosts are now Demogorgons and the "Ghost Busters" are middle school students. Set in the 80's, this show is nostalgic for simpler times and popular culture. You'll definitely get caught Upside Down while watching this show.

3. A Series of Unfortunate Events

In case you were trapped under a rock in middle school and high school, "A Series Of Unfortunate Events" was one of the most popular book series to read. It was suspenseful, dramatic, adventurous, and funny. It was everything we wanted in order to escape the daily routine of classrooms and homework. Newly created with Neil Patrick Harris as the dastardly Count Olaf, you'll want to keep an eye out for that eye tattoo.

4. Orange is the New Black

Based off the true story of Piper Kerman, "OITNB" is a wild ride from beginning to end expressing the lives of women inside prisons and even the struggles they face when their time is over. It will keep you hooked all summer long.

5. Jessica Jones

If you want a show with a strong woman who can kick some a**, then this is it. Based off the graphic novel, "Jessica Jones" is about a woman who has her own detective agency but doesn't want to save the world, it's just getting through the day.

6. Black Mirror

"Black Mirror" features episode dramas that will creep you out like the "Twilight Zone." Featuring many celebrities, this series makes for an weird eye opening show.

7. The Crown

Who doesn't love a woman in charge, especially of an entire country? In "The Crown," you'll get a woman who's a mother, a wife, and a Queen all at the same time and she handles it like a boss.

8. Luke Cage

Hello tall, dark, and handsome. "Luke Cage" is an invincible man due to a sabotaged experiment, which left him with super strength and skin you cannot break. With tie ins to "Jessica Jones," you won't want to miss this man getting some women and wrecking some bad guys.

9. Dear White People

"Dear White People" is a series that tells the stories of students of color who live at Winchester University, which is a predominately white student body. They are faced with politics, stereotypes, injustices, and activism which ties in to currents events that are happening now.

10. Master of None

If you were a "Parks and Rec" fan, then you'll love this show. Aziz Ansari comes back again with his own show as the lovable Dev from New York just trying to live his best life. The show is loosely based off of the real life experiences of just trying to figure out who you are and who you want to become.

11. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt

An upbeat, cheerful series about a finally freed "Mole Woman" from an underground bunker by a crazed cult leader, Kimmy tries to navigate her new life outside of the bunker. She finally gets to do all of the things that she never got to do like eating candy for dinner, getting a job, and going to school. Her cheerfulness is contagious and it will have you seeing the upside to everything too!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
