Having a lot of time on my hands, critiquing shows has become my new hobby.

3 TV Shows Who Chose The Wrong Main Characters
FOX

The number of shows I have binge-watched since the beginning of quarantine is incredible. They range from "Grey's Anatomy," for the third time, to finishing "Gilmore Girls" and "Never Have I Ever."

While watching these shows I began to focus deeply on the characters and their specific personalities rather than just the plotline. Now don't get me wrong this is not me bashing any of these binge-worthy shows, in fact I loved all of the main characters. However, I believe there could have been better stories surrounding the side characters.

Below is a list of a few side characters who frankly could have made their shows ten times better.

1. Paris Geller from "Gilmore Girls"

Written the way it was, it is one of my all-time favorite shows. Rory Gilmore definitely had some interesting character development, but from the sneak peeks of Paris and her story it makes me wish I got to see more.

Her badass personality combined with her loyal characteristics makes for a perfect main character.

2. Maya Hart from "Girl Meets World"

From the start, we were given a look into Maya's troubled past and family and it only made us adore her more. She was selfless and strong in any situation.

Now I understand Riley Matthews had to be the main character considering the background of who she came from. Although it would've been nice to have a show where the main character wasn't from a perfect home and had to deal with things more relatable than we like to think.

3. Mercedes Jones from "Glee"

Now I can't lie, I loved Rachel Berry and who bubbly but tad bit selfish personality. However, Mercedes had so much potential as the main character.

Not only was her voice out of this world, but being able to stand up for yourself and fight for what you believe is a bonus. I feel not many main characters are portrayed as strong and independent, and she would've been a perfect fit for that.

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.
