Four Shows To Watch After 'Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life'
Netflix

As everyone probably already knows by now, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life aired on November 25th, Black Friday. We all exhaled a collective 'What the ****?!' after the last four words were said, but now it's time to move on. I know, I know it'll be hard pulling yourself out of your Gilmore hangover. That's why I have some suggestions to help ease you into a new show that will inevitably send you into a crying, screaming rage like all good television shows do.


1. Penny Dreadful

It's nothing at all like Gilmore Girls, but if you need something different to shock you out of your funk, this is it. Combine an American gunslinger, a medium, and an explorer (along with some famous fictional characters - Victor Frankenstein and Dorian Gray) all in Victorian London as they fight supernatural forces, and you've got one heck of a show. It's not for the faint of heart, though. So check your stomach at the door before entering this world.

2. Last Man Standing

If you're a fan of Time Allen (and really, who isn't?), you need to watch this. It's incredibly funny, but if you get offended easily, stay away. It's not politically correct by any means so either develop a thick skin or get out. The plot: Mike (Tim Allen) is a married father of three daughters who each have personalities large enough to rival his own. He is the marketing director for 'Outdoor Man,' a sporting goods store. As part of his job, he posts videos to the company's site that contain his opinions and advice while also promoting the business.

3. Zoo

If you want to foray into a slightly sci-fi world, do it here. No, it's not about a physical zoo you can visit. It's basically like the animal version of the zombie apocalypse. Animals across the world start turning violent and attacking humans. A team of people (including a zoologist and a journalist) find their way together and try to figure out the cause and a cure. Inevitably, they run into a million obstacles, and like anything sci-fi there are enough twists and turns to make your head spin.

4. Jessica Jones

Krysten Ritter strikes again. If you don't know who that is, shame on you. Think Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 and her brief but adorably quirky role as Lucy in season 7 of Gilmore Girls. Jessica Jones is based on the Marvel comic character of the same name. Netflix's synopsis: "She's a gifted PI hiding a past that's left her broken but still fighting. Revenge may be sweet, but she isn't." It's a pretty dark show, also not for the faint of heart.


I could list dozens more (and movies...don't even get me started), and one day I might. But for now, start with these. Indulge. Binge. Let yourself be swept away in these different worlds and temporarily forget about those infuriating LAST FOUR WORDS.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
