The Low Down on 'Celebrity Big Brother'

Unless you've been secluding yourself from social media or the entertainment news circuit, you've probably heard about the latest season of "Big Brother." The CBS reality show giant has taken notes from its United Kingdom sister show by introducing the United States to a whole new animal: "Celebrity Big Brother." If you're not familiar with the show's inner workings, "Big Brother" is a show in which a handful of people are chosen to be shut off from the outside world in a house together. No technology. No ability to control anything in the house except for their own game. Cameras and microphones recording their every move 24/7. I bet you can guess how "Celebrity Big Brother" is played, except this time, it is played on a shorter than normal schedule, admitting eleven celebrities into the house, one emerging victorious with $25,000.

So who is on the inaugural season of "Celebrity Big Brother"? Perhaps the most controversial is Omarosa, whom you might remember being the first winner of "The Apprentice" way back win. She also was part of the Trump Administration for a while back in 2016 and 2017. Other house guests include ex-real housewife Brandi Glanville, WWE star Chuck Lidell, "Ru Paul's Drag Race" guest judge Ross Matthews, the former beauty queen famously snubbed by Steve Harvey Ariadna Gutierrez, original Tracy Turnblad of Broadway's "Hairspray" Marissa Jaret Winokur, former boy band and television star James Maslow, Sugar Ray frontman Mark McGrath, "American Pie" actress Shannon Elizabeth, "The Cosby Show" actress Keshia Knight Pulliam, and NBA star Metta World Peace.

So far, it's been described as one of the best seasons "Big Brother" has yet to produce.

Each episode seems to leave audiences on the edge of their seat, between catty competitions and shady game playing moves. There are twists and turns at every corner and the show definitely lives up to its name to "expect the unexpected."

Of course, I can't describe everything that's happening on the show, but Omarosa has been making headlines twice by dropping gossip about her time in the White House. Alliances have been made and broken. Competitions become odder as time goes on, but that's the game of "Big Brother."

If crazy reality TV is your style, I would suggest starting from the very beginning of the season through Hulu or CBS' website. Then, you can watch on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at eight o'clock to watch the drama unfold.

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.
