On Nov. 13, Netflix will do the unthinkable: remove "How I Met Your Mother."

Fans of the show reacted in shock and sadness when the news was officially confirmed on Oct. 30. "How I Met Your Mother" was a Netflix staple since it was first added to the website five years ago because it is both hilarious and binge-worthy.

Now, fans and new viewers alike will not be able to have the show readily available to them. It is truly a time of mourning and perhaps you too are going through the five stages of grief while trying to cope with the news.

1. Denial

When the news first broke, you tried to deny it and believe that it was simply an internet hoax.

2. Anger

How dare they take your favorite show off of Netflix? What are you going to do now? It all just feels like someone slapped you across the face.

3. Bargaining

“For the love of God, take "Pretty Little Liars" off instead!”

4. Depression

You begin binge-watching the show for what feels like the final time. You are kind of ashamed about how emotional you get.

5. Acceptance

After going through this intense healing process and 208 episodes, you decide to check out what’s on Hulu and see that they also have every single episode of "HIMYM" and realize that all that stands between you and your favorite show is stealing your roommate’s Hulu password.

You tried to destroy us all Netflix, but it looks like we won this round. Now please leave "New Girl", "The Office" and "Friends", alone.

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.

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.
