The Top 5 Moments From Tina Fey And Amy Poehler's SNL Episode

The two comedy sisters and "SNL" alums, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made their return to the stage in New York this past Saturday night. In light of their recent movie "Sisters," these two queens of comedy reminded us exactly what we missed about them during their "SNL" days.

1. The return of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin:

Perhaps the most iconic political impersonations in the history of "Saturday Night Live" were Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton and Tina Fey as Sarah Palin. Amy joined the current Hillary impersonator, Kate McKinnon with as Sarah Palin in a dream sequence full of political allegory.

2. Bad blood music video parody:

With special guest star, Amy Schumer we saw Taylor Swift's version of #squadgoals redefined with this comic sequence full of laughs that had us falling off of our chairs.


3. Weekend update:

These two were the first women to co-anchor the iconic "Weekend Update" filled with one-liners about the week's latest happenings. Fey and Poehler joined Colin Jost and Michael Che in telling the last two jokes of the evening, and we were taken way back to their times as cast members.


4. Maya Rudolph back in "Bronx Beat:"

Also an "SNL" alum from what some may call the golden days, Maya Rudolph made an appearance with Amy Poehler and brought back the skit "Bronx Beat," only leaving us to hope that Kristen Wiig would also make an appearance.

The weekend's musical guests were Bruce Springsteen and the E Street band but little did we know that the show would sign off its Christmas special with the band performing "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" with none other than Paul McCartney hopping on the stage with sleigh bells.


It's safe to say this year's Christmas special did not disappoint. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler ensured that SNL ended their year on a high note. We can only wait for more laughs from this iconic show once the new year rolls around.

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.
