A non-spoiler review of The Good Place!

Anything talking about morals and ethical code is automatically going to be a hit in my book. However,The Good Place (which can be viewed through most TV providers) really hit a home run.

From their characters to the ideas and themes, producers Michael Schur, David Miner, Morgan Sackett, and Drew Goddard really created something original and talk-worthy with this show. For anyone who hasn't seen the show, I will try to do my best not to spoil any big secrets, which the show is packed full of.

This comedic show is based around its two main characters: Eleonor and Chidi, cast as Kristen Bell and William Jackson Harper, respectively. They both have died on what we know as Earth and must navigate the afterlife where they both have made it into "the good place."

Whether you believe in religion and/or the afterlife, the show puts on a good mask of showing where they line up on the religious spectrum. One could argue that the show exhibits a faith that is of close variation to Christianity (with a few spin-offs and name changes), but regardless it is less about where they are and more about how to get out.

Following the beloved characters on their adventures keeps the audience entertained as other characters like Tahani Al-Jamil, Jason, and Michael keep things twisted and enticing. In the beginning, none of the characters find the afterlife to be exactly what they expected and are trying to save face during the first episode or so.

If you're anything like me and love to think about what the afterlife could be like or simply love a good laugh, I highly recommend you check out the show and make sure to note your favorite character: it's a debated topic, I promise! The show goes through season four and is gaining popularity every single day, so if you're missing out, take the time to turn on Netflix and binge-watch for the next couple hours.

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.
