'The Good Fight' Is Finally Back For Season 2
CBS

CBS's "The Good Fight" is finally back for another compelling season. Starring Christine Baranski and Game of Thrones's Rose Leslie, the intense legal drama is jumpstarting season two by tackling a variety of hot-button political and social issues, including consent, legal defense for the incarcerated, and the #MeToo movement, among others.

Centered around an accredited and renown legal firm, renamed Reddick, Boseman, & Lockhardt, "The Good Fight" enmeshes political and social commentary into its main plot and subplots, entangling certain aspect of American political reality into the show's fictionalized world. In other words, the show does not shy away from mentioning President Trump and his policies, comments, and tweets, often satirizing the already unorthodox remarks he makes on Twitter and in public.

Of course, for previous viewers, the show picks up where it left off, in the midst of bright new attorney Maia Rindell's legal troubles. Still entangled in the aftermath of her father's financial schemes, Maia deals with betrayal and deceit, all the while fighting to clear her name from the investigation. With her mother in jail and her dad missing, Maia only has her lawyer and friend, Lucca, to help her. As Maia struggles to track down her dad to hand him over to the police, an array of lies and secrets obstruct both her judgment and her heart.

What is perhaps most surprising and noteworthy is the show's addition of a new subplot, which focuses on the sudden and terrifying murders of lawyers all across Chicago by presumably former clients. It's unclear if all the murders and targets are connected, but no law firm or lawyer is immune. Meanwhile, Marissa Gold is finally getting to work as a private investigator, in addition to being Diane's assistant.

Of course, many are other revelations come to light as the season unfolds, but if you want to know more, I highly recommend watching the show.

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.
