Five Reasons Why You Should Watch Outlander

Recently I have gotten into the TV show, "Outlander" thanks to my roommate. She has been a fan of the show since it started and has been binge watching the second season for the past few weeks. She would share bits of information with me and more and more I became intrigued by it. Once I finished the first episode I was hooked. "Outlander" is a STARZ original series about a British woman from the 1940s who has been mysteriously transported back 200 years into the past. Not only is she in the past but she is in 1740s Scotland. That's all I'm going to give because you watch it to find out more. Here are some more reason why you should watch "Outlander":

1. The Beauty of Scotland

2. The Soundtrack

The soundtrack in "Outlander" is beyond incredible. It is all composed by Bear McCreary and he does a phenomenal job.

3. The Costumes

I mean just look at these beautiful pieces. All of the costumes are handmade by the costume crew and designed by the incredible Terry Dresbach.

4.The Love Story

Now this love story is probably one of my favorite TV love stories of all time. Claire and Jamie have such a real love and Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe have some of the best stage chemistry. I don't want to give to much away so watch "Outlander" to see this love story unfold.

5. Jamie Fraser (need I say more)

If you had high standards on men before...just you wait. Jamie Fraser is a wild flower in the Scottish Highlands. Sensitive, rugged and quite a rare find especially as far as men go for 1740s Europe. He is played by lovely and talented Sam Heughan.

Now go and watch "Outlander"! You will be glad you did.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
