You Should Watch 'Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt'

"Unbreakable! They alive damn it!! It's a miracle!" I swear I sing this song all day and everyday; it's a little sad. For the past week I have been binge watching the Netflix Original Series "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt," and it's the best thing I've done so far this summer. I always heard that the show was funny but had no idea how funny it really was.

Here's a quick premise of the show:

Kimmy Schmidt along with three other women were abducted and held captive in a bunker for 15 years by a man claiming to be a reverend saying that the world was going to end. When finally freed, Kimmy decides to start her new life in New York City and see where life takes her. Along the way she makes strange friends (who have good hearts) and has even stranger misadventures. In a way, the show sounds like it could be super heavy and kind of disturbing. But the show does a fantastic job of not taking itself too seriously, which causes this show to be a slapstick comedy instead of depressing drama.

The entire cast is amazing. The main cast and the recurring cast are hilarious. I find myself trying to hold in laughter in the middle of the night so I don't wake up anybody. Ellie Kemper (Kimmy Schmidt) brings a stupid ignorance and innocence to Kimmy that makes you smile every time she does something, because you know she still has the mind set of a 14-year-old from 2000. Also, Kimmy is just a weird person. Tituss Burgess (Titus Andromedon) is the reason I can never breathe properly while watching this show. Portraying Kimmy's extremely selfish and fabulous roommate, Titus says all the things you shouldn't say to a kidnapped victim, and you crack up every time he does. Trust me, he breathes so much into this show it's ridiculous. Carol Kane (Lillian Kaushtupper) plays Kimmy and Titus's landlord who is as crazy as a nut. She's born and raised in NYC and is hell bent on saving the neighborhood from gentrification. Jane Krakowski (Jacqueline Voorhees) is just a hilarious person. If you've seen "30 Rock," then you know how funny she is. Her character is so weird. She's a rich Manhattan socialite who is extremely self-absorbed and completely shallow. What's even stranger is that she's actually a Native American who has completely white-washed herself in order to be white. The last character I'm going to talk about is the Reverend. He's played by Jon Hamm who I had no idea could be so funny! The Reverend is a stupid, stupid person, and I had no idea that the man from "Mad Men" could be so funny. So funny. I'm still in shock how funny he is on the show.

Instead of listening to me rave about how hilarious the show is, everybody needs to watch it. Do the Netflix free trial or borrow a friend's subscription if you don't have Netflix, because you definitely need to watch this show.

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.
