The Canadian produced Netflix show, Travelers, starring Eric McCormack, recently released its second season, and it is intense to the say the least. For those who are unfamiliar, Travelers is a compelling Netflix original about time travelers going back to the twenty-first century the U.S. to essentially save humanity.

The show centers around a group of five 'travelers' from the future, who use advanced technology that allows them to send their minds or consciousnesses to other people’s bodies in the twenty-first century just before they are supposed to die.

Each of these travelers has a special set of skills, but they ultimately work as one unit or team.

So far, the first two seasons focus on the time travelers and their various missions, most of which consist of stopping people from dying, although not everyone is meant to be saved. Aside from trying to save the world, they also have to maintain the lives of their hosts, or the bodies they have transferred their consciousnesses into.

Pretending to be these other people seems to entail way more effort than stopping a bomb from exploding, yet they seem to be able to manage both, albeit messily. Some of the hosts have or had families and kids and government jobs, while others spent their days getting high.

Regardless of the particular circumstances, each traveler inevitably struggles with constantly pretending to be someone else and living a life that is not their own. However, they do manage to pull it off. For a while, anyway.

Travelers is unpredictable and dramatic, but it reveals how minuscule events can have significant impacts on humanity and what that means or could mean for the future of the nation.

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.
