The Netflix Show Everyone's Talking About: 'You'

It's basically just Dan Humphrey with a knife.

If you haven't watched "You" on Netflix yet, you definitely should. Based in New York City the show circulates around Joe, a bookstore manager, who becomes obsessed with a young woman named Guinevere Beck. It revolves around his stalking ways into her life from stealing her phone to following her when she leaves the house. Beck has people in her life that Joe is jealous of and that he feels like are messing up her life. The show has been set for another season in the next year, which will feature a few new characters.

Another thing that I found interesting was that there are five facts that most people probably didn't know about the show. I always like looking up things like this because they're always pretty interesting and sometimes answer questions you didn't know you had.

Beware a few spoilers ahead!

Penn Badgley didn't want to play Joe at first because the show is framed as a love story, which he found conflicting.

The bookstore in the show is actually a real bookstore in New York called Logos Bookstore.

Candace wasn't always supposed to come back at the end.

Peach Salinger got her name because author Caroline Kepnes thought it was "annoying." 

Kepnes said in an interview, "I also thought peaches were perfect because they're ripe and delicious, and then they're spoiled, poison, they attract flies, they can make you sick," she added.

Kepnes came up with the character Joe while in a coffee shop.​

I'm so excited for the next season and to see how they continue with Joe's character without him getting caught. Hopefully, girls will stop tweeting Penn Badgley asking him to kidnap them in the meantime.

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.

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.

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.
