Why You Should Be Watching "Jane The Virgin"

Where do I start? "Jane the Virgin" is one of the greatest shows to ever grace television. The CW hit it out the park with this one, seriously. "The daughter of a teen mother, Jane Villanueva grew up determined not to repeat her mom's mistakes. At 23 her life is on track; Jane is studying to be a teacher and engaged to a handsome detective who supports her decision to remain a virgin until marriage. Then a routine clinic visit flips her life upside down. Inseminated by a specimen meant for a patient in the next room, now-pregnant Jane is in a situation made only more insane when she learns that the sperm donor is her boss, Rafael. As her meticulously planned life gets more like the telenovelas she loves, she faces a lot of complicated decisions about where to go from here."

That summary only touches on all of the fun and drama this show has to offer, so like any college student would do, I'll explain this show with GIFs and make you so interested that you'll just have to watch it!

Gina Rodriguez, who plays Jane, is real and warm and anyone can relate to her. She's smart, level-headed, driven, strong, and extremely brave. How could you not love her?


Rafael, the father of Jane's baby, is confident and caring and really really really loves Jane. (His looks don't hurt either).


And then there's Jane's ex-fiance, Michael. He's compassionate, always puts others first, and just like Rafael he really really really loves Jane. If you sensed a love triangle you're right.


Jane never knew her dad growing up, but now he's in her life and he refuses to miss out on anymore. Oh and he's a famous telenovela star, Rogelio De La Vega. What he lacks in smarts he makes up for in heart.


Jane's mom, Xiomara, is her best friend. She can be a mess sometimes, but she's always there for her daughter and always puts her first.


Then there's Petra; she's Rafael's ex-wife and is way jealous of his relationship with Jane because she's still in love with him. She also works in and owns a portion of Rafael's hotel, The Marbella. Draaaammmaaaa.


But the best part of this whole show has to be the narrator. He points out the obvious and the idiotic throughout each episode. You need to watch this show just to hear his voice, it's angelic.


But honestly, this show is so much more than dramedy. It's about real life and real people. They don't sugar coat or make things seem unrealistic. Just a wonderfully funny, happy and sad (I've cried multiple times watching it) show that can easily brighten your day! Plus, the first season is on Netflix, and if that didn't sell you, just look at this.


Watch "Jane the Virgin" Mondays at 9/8c on the CW.

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.
