Why You Should Watch "Dark" on Netflix
Pinterest.com

A little over a year ago, I stumbled across a random series on Netflix called "Dark." I was unsure if I would like it or not at first because it seemed to move at a slow pace. It was also weird to watch the actors' lips move, yet the English words that I heard didn't match up with their lip movements. This show is probably the most confusing show I've ever watched in my life, but re-watching episodes to understand is definitely worth it.

One of the many reasons I enjoy this series so much is because it provides a perfect balance between mystery and sci-fi/thriller. A boy in a small town is taken, and you think it's just like any other child abduction show, but somehow it warps into a show about parallel universes. Having always been interested in parallel universe theories, this show achieved at quickly catching my interest.

Each episode provides you with a clue to the solution, and you're also provided little snippets of the past, present, and future, which cease to be very critical in this series.

The best thing about this show in my opinion, is the fact that there are so many unanswered questions. As the plot thickens and you get more into it, every episode leaves you with an outrageous cliffhanger, making you beg for more.

I would compare this show to "Black Mirror" on Netflix because it contains similar concepts, but definitely more dramatic than "Black Mirror." If you're looking for something new to watch, that isn't extremely gore-y and poorly directed, "Dark" is definitely the show for you.

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.
