Dear Netflix, We Need To Talk

You did something unforgivable...took away seasons of "Bob’s Burgers."

Dear Netflix,

I feel betrayed. I have been a loyal customer for about 2.5 years now and I have binged countless shows, laughed at your originals, and watched childhood classics. Recently, you have updated the shows and movies that are available for streaming. I was so excited to see some of my favorite movies and some other movies that I had been curious about seeing, but you did something unforgivable— you took away seasons of "Bob’s Burgers."

In all seriousness, I am heartbroken. That was one of the first shows that I ever binged, and I have been patiently waiting for the new season to be available. I could not wait to hear more of Jean and Linda’s songs, see if any of Louise’s mischief would accomplish what she wanted, relate to Bob when he gets crabby, and sympathize with Tina when she lays on the floor and moans that the world is ending.

Now, all of my hopes have been shattered because there is only one season available on Netflix.

I do not understand. I tried to be okay with this. I tried to tell myself that there are other ways that I can find the new season. I tried to tell myself that I do not like the show as much as I thought I did, but so far, I have had no luck. I still love "Bob’s Burgers."

To fill this gap that has been left in my life, I have been taking quizzes to see which character I am. Watching YouTube videos of some of my favorite scenes. Eating ice cream to drown away my sorrows.

Honestly, I am more sad for the people that have not had the joy of watching the show yet. They will never know anything about the Belcher’s beyond season one (and let’s be honest, shows do not get good until at least season 2.) I have felt immeasurable pain when someone asks me what show they should binge on Netflix and I cannot tell them to watch "Bob’s Burgers." My heart aches inside of my chest, and I have to stop a tear from rolling down my face.

I do not understand what happened. Were you getting too many views on the show? Do you want people to unsubscribe to you? It makes no sense. What can we do to get it back? We all pay our monthly subscription, what more could you want? I am desperate at this point.

I am begging you Netflix. Please, bring back "Bob’s Burgers!"

Sincerely,

A loyal subscriber and Bob’s Burgers fan

P.S. I'm serious. Bring it back or else.

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
