7 Reasons To Watch Carmilla Right Now
Shaftesbury.ca

If you are looking for another show to binge watch, then I suggest Carmilla. It is a Canadian web series on YouTube that just released Act 1 of their third and final season. Why should you watch Carmilla?

1. The writing:

The writing of this show is so smart and witty, with nods to pop culture and all things nerdy. It does comedy, drama, suspense, and romance all at the same time. If you liked shows such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Veronica Mars, then this show is for you. The show overall can be described as cute with plenty drama and suspense to keep it spicy.

2. Strong female characters:

This show has a mostly female cast. The characters never seem like plastic archetypes, but real people who are in a not so normal situation. Their motivations might not always be right, but are understandable making for very fleshed out characters. This is not an easy feat with the limitations of filming and timing, and having to move the story along but it is done beautifully.

3. LGBTQIA representation:

If you are looking for a show with LGBTQIA characters, a majority of the Carmilla characters classifies as some part of the rainbow. The best part is that they don’t make a big deal about it, they just are the way themselves and it doesn’t define them as a whole. They are people who just happen to be bisexual or transgender or queer.

4. Supernatural things:

Carmilla is loosely based on the vampire novella Carmilla by Sheridan Le Fanu, which predates Bram Stoker’s Dracula. The web series has a modern setting and mentions more creepies besides vampires.

5. Ability to binge:

You can find all of the seasons one, two, and soon to be three on YouTube. You can watch and watch the to your heart's content. Act 2 of season 3 will be released September 29th and Act 3 will be released October 13th.

6. The fandom:

The Carmilla fandom is simply the best, from fanart to fanfiction. You can find anything your heart desires to feed your impending obsession with the show. The fandom is a very friendly community in which you can find friends that will support your addiction.

7. The acting:

The actors fit and play their roles so perfectly you will find it hard to distinguish between the characters and the people that play them. When you find out the actors, in fact, are not exactly like their character you will appreciate their acting prowess that much more. (However, you will hope there is someone out there like these characters because you will fall in love with them. I hope you have a high tolerance for cute and extremely attractive.

These are just seven reasons to watch Carmilla, I am sure there are more. Check it out and then we can fangirl/fanboy about it together.

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.

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.
