I never knew a true crime documentary could be so funny.

10 Thoughts I Had While Watching 'Making a Murderer'
E! Online

I'm a little (read:1 year) late to the Making a Murderer watch party, but when I finally sat down to watch this binge-worthy series I was not disappointed. The entire series runs about ten hours long, and is full of plot twists and shady police officers and government officials that force you to question everything you thought you knew about our justice system here in the United States. However, when watching a grim series like this, sometimes I just had to laugh at the people of Manitowoc County. So here are ten hilarious thoughts I had while watching Making a Murderer.

1. When the intro started and I thought I had accidentally turned on Game of Thrones.

Here's a link to an awesome video that plays the Game of Thrones title sequence with Making a Murderer's music.

2. My reaction when Gregory Allen basically confessed to the rape of Penny Beerntsen, but the Manitowoc County sheriffs were just like "That sounds fake but okay" and Steven Avery was kept in jail anyways.
3. Then finally Steven was released after serving 18 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit and we all thought that he was kind of an okay guy, but still looked kinda creepy.

4. When there were eight episodes left in the series and Teresa Halbach was just introduced.

5. That moment when I realized that people from Wisconsin literally use the word "yeah" for everything and I wanted to die.

Send this to your true crime loving crush on Valentine's Day.

"Maybe 'yeah' can be our 'okay'."

6. When the reporters were always saying what the audience was thinking and were just as confused as we were.

7. Then every few episodes Steven would somehow have a new girlfriend/fiancee??


How did he even meet new women while in jail??

8. I also realized that Jerry and Dean were truly the best lawyer bros on the show.



9. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. That a Manitowoc county police officer or sheriff said that they couldn't remember what they'd said or where they had been after Steven's arrest for the Halbach case, and then were forced to read a report that proved they had been in the place they said they weren't.


10. Finally, I decided that I'd never ever visit Wisconsin because the police are corrupt and everything is terrible.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
