You may think that Queer Eye is just a reboot show that portrays gays and how they use their sense of style to help out fashion challenged straight men. But this show is so much more, there is a modern aspect to it that portrays how important is it to address the issues of self-acceptance, stereotyping and mental health.

These issues that are addressed in the show are not just targeted to straight men, there are also episodes that target to a broader audience. In fact, each one of us. With these portrayals in mind, it really shows the type of culture that shapes us and how people can change their perspective this live a happier life.

While I was watching the show, what really caught my attention was how it made me think about my life and how personal it felt to me. The main themes in this show are how people should love themselves and how that love spreads to others. This acceptance of yourself is shown through fashion, grooming, culture, food, and home design.

Each of the hosts gives advice on how the person should appear to others through their fashion sense, grooming, and their attitude. In fact, self-love is shown through everything that you do. It is inspirational to see these men help people from different backgrounds and give them advice so gracefully.

After watching one episode, you feel obligated to check yourself in the mirror and see how others may perceive you. It also can awaken your creative side and get you out the door to change your lifestyle, conquer your fears or finish a project you started.

Another characteristic of the show that caught my attention was how the five gay men, Bobby, Karamo, Antoni, Johnathan and Tan, (also know as the Fab Five) always have friendly, open and positive attitudes. Their genuine want to care for each of the heroes is inspiring. My deepest hope is that I can keep on feeling inspired by these people, and you should be, too.

If you haven't hopped on the bandwagon of "Queer Eye," you should be purchasing your ticket as soon as possible.

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.

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.
