*No spoilers just a summary and my thoughts on the show so far*

I just finished binging 'The Sinner' on Netflix. Now before everyone freaks out, there are only eight episodes in season one and the episodes are about 40ish minutes long (Netflix doesn't have season 2, yet.) Rumor has it that Hulu has season 2 but I'd have to pay for the HBO channel or whatever channel it's on to watch it and I ain't gonna do that sadly. So I'm here to just reflect and enjoy season 1 in all of its' glory. 'The Sinner' is a rare murder mystery show that just ties you in with its plot and characters. In the first episode, there's a husband, a wife, and their son when all of a sudden the mom goes psycho and stabs a random stranger on the beach for playing loud music. This was witnessed by everyone on the beach, leaving her absolutely no question as to whether she's guilty. Remember the whole, "you're innocent until proven guilty" thing? Yeah, she's just guilty and everyone blames her for murdering this stranger. This show should be an open and then immediately shut kind of case but everyone wants to know the reason why she did what she did.

Detective Ambrose who is played by Bill Pullman is a very strange character. He's trying to fix his marriage with his wife but is having an affair with someone else. He becomes obsessed with this case because Cora (the murderer and mother who stabbed a stranger) doesn't want to fight trial. She just wants to remain guilty, go to jail and live out her life. But why? Why doesn't she want to fight the system over this? Does she not want to fight for her marriage? What about her son? There were so many questions that needed to be answered in season 1 and it's like having a spider in your brain. You want to know how everything works out and how the story ends.

Another reason I think I loved this show so much is that Jessia Biel is in it too (she's Justin Timberlake's' wife!) But that's pretty much all I can say about this show without giving away its awesomeness. I 10/10 recommend and if you have Netflix, you should definitely go watch it!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
