Throughout quarantine and winter break, I watched too many true crime documentaries on Netflix.

3 True Crime Shows To Watch On Netflix That Will Have You Sleeping With The Lights On For Weeks

I am a true crime fanatic. I am interested and fascinated with true crime and watch all things true crime. I listen to true crime podcasts, read books, and so forth. But these three documentaries are hands-down my favorites on Netflix.

1. "The Ripper"

My first suggestion is currently trending number four in the top ten in the U.S. - "The Ripper." Directed by Ellena Woods and Jesse Vile, this docuseries is about the Yorkshire Ripper and his victims. They describe the victims' lives before the ups and downs of the police investigation, and the public's reaction to the Ripper's five-year rampage. No reenactments, real footage, and interviews with those directly associated with the case. Rating: 9/10

2. "The Confession Killer"

Robert Kenner and Taki Oldham directed this rollercoaster docuseries with real footage and interviews with those involved with the case. They were able to make the audience believe one thing and then completely flip it around. The man that the series is about is Henry Lee Lucas. He was the suspect of interest for two missing women but ends up confessing to about 600 murders. "The Confession Killer" just may be the most notorious killer alive. Rating: 8.5/10

3. "Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist"

Barbara Schroeder directs this docuseries with real footage and interviews that started as a mystery and ended with new mysteries. The Netflix summary provided: "A bank robbery in Pennsylvania ends in the bombing death of a pizza deliveryman who may or may not have been a hostage forced to commit the crime." Rating: 8/10

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.
