Chelsea Handler Changes Netflix
Entertainment Weekly
“It’s just hard to go from seeing elephants living their lives in the wild and not being bothered by humans, to seeing them put in a bunker every night and then being forced to take assholes like us on rides.”

I've never been a fan of comedians or comedy shows. I've never liked late-night talk shows. But Chelsea Handler changed all of that.

"My tendency to make up stories and lie compulsively for the sake of my own amusement takes up a good portion of my day and provides me with a peace of mind not easily attainable in this economic climate."

After the ever-so-successful "Uganda Be Kidding Me" on Netflix, along with the newly added episodes of "Chelsea Does," on racism, marriage, Silicon Valley and drugs, Chelsea Handler will be re-entering the Netflix realm -- this time, in a unique way. Every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday night, her new 30-minute talk show episodes will become available for streaming.

“I’m a ridiculous person. If you take anything any comedian says seriously, then you’re stupid."

Premiering May 11, Chelsea's talk show will show three nights a week from there on. But "talk show" doesn't do the new show justice. According to Entertainment Weekly, Handler said, “You’ll be traveling around the world and learning new things all courtesy of Netflix. Treat this as an opportunity to get the college education you forgot to get."

So, why this recently rash decision to jump from E! to Netflix? The celebrities she had to work with? (*cough* Justin Bieber) The content she was dealing with? Handler told ET, "It's the difference between playing with kids on a playground and being in a really well-respected college."

Streaming to 186 countries, she wants to keep it real and intriguing to all. By writing a letter to herself, and posting it on social media, she revealed comical (of course) details of her show.

She writes to herself, "Sign up with Netflix." Previously, Handler joked about needing to learn how to stream and continues that joke to this day.

Her dream guest list consists of "Michelle Obama" and "The Pope" and "Arnold Schwarzenegger."

With some motivation and sass, she writes, "You wanted a new show, you got it. You wanted to be on Netflix, you are. You wanted to spread your wings, now fly bitch." How can you not love her?

So, tune into Netflix on May 11, or May 12, or any day, anytime, to watch Chelsea Handler's talk show -- which remains unnamed to the public -- to get your much-needed dose of sexually ambiguous, graciously hilarious and mildly vulgar humor.

“Laugh loudly, laugh often, and most important, laugh at yourself.”

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?
