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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
