"Orange is the New Black" comes back this week with its debuting of season four. So here is a little recap of what happened in the last three seasons and some of our favorite moments to get us pumped for our all-day shower free, motionless, snack-filled binging (maybe not just a day for some of us).

If you never knew this, Netflix has a button under "Orange is the New Black," titled Trailers and Recaps. Each season has a nifty little video of the most important things that you need to know in preparation for June 17. If you’re like me, then you just haven’t had the time to re-watch all three seasons, and if you have -- you go, Glen Coco. Here is a quick review for you, too.

Season One:

Episode One: Piper spends the day with her boyfriend, Larry, before she turns herself in for a 15-month prison sentence.

Episode Two: Piper has to make that back cream for Red after being blocked from eating for insulting her food.

Episode Three: Crazy Eyes becomes our favorite little stalker as Piper tries to stay clear of her romantic advances.

Episode Four: This is the one where the screw driver goes missing and everyone flips out trying to find it.

Episode Five: The chicken. Enough said.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
