My Week Without 'Pretty Little Liars'
Freeform

It's a Tuesday, and I go through my routine. Wake up. Eat. Work. Eat. Work. Come home. Eat. And turn on the TV. This is where the routine ends. My DVR is empty and where “Pretty Little Liars” should be, there is only old episodes of “Friends.” Which that isn't that bad. I still have “The Bachelorette” on Monday's and whatever else I decide to record throughout the week, but I now have nothing to look forward to on Tuesday’s.

Let's just get something out of the way. I don't have Netflix. I know, I can't believe it either, but I never got around to making an account. So, my entire life, I've been dependent on cable TV. “Pretty Little Liars” was never my favorite show. I enjoyed it, of course, but there came a point where twins were no longer valid plot twists and there were more characters than I could ever remember. Nevertheless, it was something I took part in every week: one of the shows I didn't need Netflix to gossip with my friends about.

The pathetic part of all this is that I know there will be spin-offs. The ending of the finale suggested a repeat of events with different characters, and while I know that would be tedious and probably wouldn't get many viewers, it would be like I. Marlene King to take a basic framework of a successful plot and fill it with different characters, equip it with a new setting, and furnish it with one small difference in the main conflict. Or it may be awesome. Who knows? Either way, I probably won’t take part. Like the Liars, I’ve grown up and I should move on. And I’m planning on getting a Netflix account here in the near future.

So overall, have I missed it? No. Yes, but no. I've missed the time it took up on my Tuesday’s, but I haven't missed the show. I can always find painfully fake British accents, wigs, and doll masks elsewhere, it's the time I spent watching that I can never get back.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

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.
