Iliza Shlesinger: The Woman Who Gets It

Iliza Shlesinger: The Woman Who Gets It

There is a woman out there who has dismantled the going-out-code and everything in between piece by piece, and that woman is Iliza Schlesinger. She was the hilarious winner of NBC's "Last Comic Standing" in 2008 and has two specials currently streaming on Netflix. 

My friends and I can't stop watching this firecracker of a woman because of the absolute truth she speaks. She translates every interaction between men and women perfectly, which is likely the reason we find ourselves quoting her 24/7/365. It's not very often I come across a comedian who reiterates my inner dialogue, so I have to hold her close. 

Like, when you're trying to break up with a guy but don't really care to keep it modest...


Or when your friends are judging you for getting a little frisky after a drink or two...


When a guy who isn't as hot as he thinks he is tries to act like he's out of your league...


When your friends ask you why you've been on the computer for five consecutive hours...


When you're out at night and guys are gawking at your assets (and little do they know you're prepared for a battle)...

What happens when you go out for a light dinner with you girlfriends and are all secretly miserable...

How you're really feeling when you're out at the bar...

Check out Iliza's comedy specials, "Freezing Hot" and "War Paint" on Netflix. You WON'T regret it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
