If You Love Crazy Romance Shows, Here Are 2 That Will Knock You Off Your Feet!
Before I started watching YOU, I was slowly losing hope for Netflix. I would scroll for hours just to find an interesting show to binge when I got home from a long school day and couldn't find anything that caught my eye.

How come we aren't talking about the rape scene in Bridgerton?
Content warning: Rape Spoilers for Bridgerton season 1 episode 6. I’d heard a lot of talk about Bridgerton at the start of the year, so when I finished what I'd been watching it was the next show on my list, and I must say it was a good watch. And damn does it make me thankful that I live in the 21st Century. Watching Daphne almost get married off to some random old man had me cringing, and I was incensed with rage when he then tried to claim her and assaulted her. Also, the thought of ‘shaming’ yourself and all the women in your family just for being with a man ‘unchaperoned’ is horrendously archaic. Honestly, props to all women for making it through that time alive because it must have been absolute hell. My other half even made a comment when Daphne’s older brother was trying to find her a husband, asking how I’d feel if my older brother was having to find me a husband. Thank god we don’t operate like that anymore!

Something Borrowed and New
Perfectly shaped snowflakes are dancing through the mid-winter air softly caressing your perfectly shaped and rosed cheeks. Your elegantly tailored, blush embroidered dress trailing behind you. Something borrowed. Something blue. Something new. Followed shortly by an, "I do."

Hell's Kitchen: Better them than me
There is nothing that makes me feel better after a long day of studying and delivering groceries than hearing Gordon Ramsay call people "donuts" because the Hell's Kitchen chefs underprepare meat and forget to bring him the lamb sauce. Even further, it is such a wonderful opportunity for me to watch other people be miserable while I sit back, drink my Capri-Sun, and enjoy a microwaved butternut squash soup that Gordon Ramsay would highly disapprove of. This week the punishment for the losing team in the team challenge, which happened to be serving brunch to newlyweds who actually got married while they prepared the kitchen to cook their meals, was to prepare 600 cupcakes for the newly-weds that they just served brunch. Watching Marc and Declan yell at each other is cherry on top of those cupcakes. The way they clash with each other is like watching a chihuahua run in circles around a bulldog who cannot seem to be bothered. In case you were wondering Marc is the Chihuahua and Declan is the bulldog. Topping off the episode for the week is the sheer joy I feel at watching others get whipped into shape by Ramsay himself. For this season, all eyes are on Nicole. She comes in with the least amount of experience, but even after a few mistakes in the first episode she seems to really be coming in to her own and had a wonderful spot this week where she showed her fellow team member, Brittani, how to properly cook the fish at her station, even when it was not necessarily a requirement for her to do so, which shows tremendous leadership skills. Although her other teammates underestimate her, she seems to be showing that she may have what it takes to go the distance, and I really hope she does. After all, this show is about getting your name in the spotlight and taking advantage of a rare opportunity to work with some of the most familiar chef names in the world. While the episode closes off with Brittani leaving Gordon Ramsay’s farewell message was nicer than most, showing that while he does not believe she is ready, he still had good feelings about her as a person. For me, this show is such a guilty pleasure because I get to watch dreams come true. Also, every season, every single one, has a person that we as the viewers love to hate, and while that may be different for everyone, it is a perfect reason to get involved in all of the chef’s journeys as they make there way through pressure cooker that everyone who has ever watched Hell’s Kitchen knows so well. Between brutal punishments, such as removing pounds of mushrooms from the logs they were grown from, and the luxurious rewards, such as getting to visit the location of the prize restaurant, which the winner will be the head chef of, there is so much to enjoy about Hell’s Kitchen. While it is important to note that the prize is 250,000 dollars, it is even more important to note that the money is a salary. The opportunity is to earn a dream job, and I definitely understand why the punishments are so brutal and why Chef Ramsay is so harsh in the kitchen. After a long day in the books and lecture videos, it is a refreshing change of pace to watch these people get put through the ringer and to know that at least for someone a dream is coming true. When you sit down to watch this guilty pleasure be prepared for a wild ride, and for the love of god, do not forget the lamb sauce!

What I Secretly Learned From The Bachelor and The Bachelorette
You know how you can say you would never watch something, but then you secretly watch it and realize you were a bit too judgy too soon? Welcome to my Bachelor-watching world! Or as host Chris Harrison would say, Bachelor Nation.

I'm obsessed with my F*R*I*E*N*D*S
Everyone tends to have that one show that they can drop anything and watch. Or it's that one show that you can quote lines from to signify that you know the episode. I have even gone as far as to incorporate quotes from the show into my every day life. Could I be any more cheesy? Yes, yes, I can.

Befriending a Princess . Top Story - February 2021.
On Wednesday, January 20, 2016, I had an odd conversation with a dear friend of mine. The actual words we exchanged were normal enough, but there was something hanging in the air between us that I couldn’t name. There seemed to be a question in his eyes.

Love, When Every Man is an Island
I’ve become a crier in my adult life. I blame my grandmother who is also responsible for my pre-mature greying. She’s gotten into the habit of crying every time we say goodbye. And every time we laugh too hard, which is often when we’re together. She’s a joyous woman. Anyway, I’ve embraced it, being a crier. Certain commercials will get me, lines in reality tv shows, trailers to movies...things that aren’t supposed to elicit a deep emotional connection, those things can sneak up on me like a crushing tsunami. One minute the waters are calm, typical--it’s a hotel commercial--then, bang, my throat closes, my tears rim, my heart clutches in my chest. These tsunamis of emotion grip me and all I can do is try not to give in. Holding my breath, I force the emotions into a tiny box and place the tiny box on a small shelf deep inside me. I both cherish and reject emotion. I think if I looked in my heart, I’d find row upon row upon row of tiny shelved boxes, where government secrets go to die. Obviously, one of the bulbs on row 138 flickers a bit, but no one’s there to notice. I don’t notice. I’ve become an adept emotional evader, which has served me well in a world of an undisciplined, dare I say, immoral reign of emotion.

Could I BE More Obsessed?
I’ll be there for you! When I was around 12 years old, I watched my very first episode of Friends. I don’t remember which episode it was, but I have seen the entire series at least 10 times since. I have rarely watched it in order. Most of the times I watched was super late at night when everyone else was asleep and I couldn’t sleep due to my insomnia. I waited patiently for all of the kid shows to end and even though I was still a child myself I would binge watch Friends, George Lopez, and The Nanny long into the wee hours of the morning. Friends, of course was my absolute favorite of the bunch. Watching them episode after episode hoping that some day I would be able to have a group of friends just like them! You see I was never the type of person to have friends. I dreaded going to school each day, because everyone there hated me and I never figured out why. Friends was an escape from reality for me. Due to past traumas I had developed ptsd by the time I was 11 and it was one of the ways I chose to cope with it. Watching the Friends laugh their way out of every situation really helped shape who I am today. I know that Friends is very controversial for its occasional fat phobia, slight homophobia, misogynistic nature, but as a child I never saw any of that. The only thing I saw was 6 friends who genuinely care about each other and I wanted that more than anything. Now that I am older and I have seen the entire show multiple more times, I finally understand most of the jokes and references they make. I can also tell now that there are a ton of problematic moments that would never fly in today’s society and for good reason! However, for its time I feel it was a very progressive show that tackled many topics that no one else would dare tackle. I am now 24 years old. I am getting married next year and I still don’t have the Friend group I have always wanted, but I know that when I am feeling overwhelmed I can always turn on Friends and for a brief period of time it feels like I am one of them. I still tear up every time Monica and Chandler finally get engaged, I still sing along to Smelly Cat and clap along to the theme every single time it comes on. I still wish I could try that supposedly very delicious Cheesecake and Ross’s “Moist Maker” sandwich. I still wish I could go to Central Perk with my Friends and talk about our problems together and celebrate our accomplishments. I wish I could get life advice from Pheobe. I wish I could get a hug from Joey. I wish I could be told a joke by Chandler. I wish I could go shopping with Rachel and talk about science with Ross. A couple of years ago I started watching the show with my future Sister in Law and now she is hooked as well. It is now something we can relate to and discuss at length. We both don’t really like Ross all that much, but we both absolutely love the story. No matter how old you are or how many times you have seen it, Friends will never get old. Every single time they put their keys on the counter and leave forever, it breaks my heart, but then I remember all I have to do is start over and watch poor Rachel run inside Central Perk in her wedding dress and enjoy the magic all over again.
