17 Reasons Why 'Supernatural' Should Be Your New Favorite Show
The CW

Ah, "Supernatural;" my absolute favorite show on earth. I could go on and on and on about all the reasons why this should be your new favorite show. Seriously, there is no end to the reasons I could give. But that would take forever, so you and I will have to settle for this non-comprehensive list of why you should start watching "Supernatural" ASAP. Bonus: it's on Netflix, so binge away! It's twelve seasons long, so there's lots of catching up to do.

You Should Watch "Supernatural" For:

1. This Guy

Dean MF Winchester, ladies and gentlemen. One of the two protagonists, he and his younger brother travel the country hunting supernatural evil creatures and saving people, the family business.


2. And This Guy

Sam Winchester, of the dimples and puppy dog eyes. He is the younger half of the Winchester duo and often acts as the brains of the operations with his extensive knowledge of supernatural creatures.


3. And Also This Guy

Castiel is a fallen angel and a central character after his introduction. He assists the boys in their hunts, and for a few seasons is generally clueless as to proper human etiquette. It's adorable.


4. Baby

The soul and mascot of the show, a gorgeous 1967 Chevy Impala, passed down to the boys from their father John. She is Dean's pride and joy.


5. The Bromance

The brothers share an incredibly close bond, and many episodes center around one of them sacrificing himself to save the other. This leads to many deaths, and dubious deals with demons.


6. The Music

The show has a great soundtrack of big-hair bands and classic rock tunes that will satisfy any rock enthusiast or casual fan. (He's playing "Eye of the Tiger." This is from the blooper reel.)


7. The Witty One-Liners

Dean has a quick tongue and a quicker wit, and he doesn't hesitate to taunt the bad guys every chance he gets. It often gets him into trouble he could avoid, but he hasn't learned his lesson yet.


8. The Demons Are Hot

Ruby is one of the first recurring demons to appear in the show, and all of her human hosts are easy on the eyes. So are all the rest of the demons that cross blades with the Winchesters.


9. The Angels Are Hotter

There are a multitude of beautiful angels to enjoy as well. Sidenote: Castiel's wings aren't usually visible, so enjoy the rare chance to see them.


10. The Battles

Even though the brothers are willing to die for each other, they still have their squabbles now and again. Plus, chances are one of them is possessed during the fight. When they aren't fighting each other, they are taking on angels, demons, ghouls, vampires, and the like, and the clashes are epic.


11. The Possessions

Everyone is at risk of possession basically at any moment, despite the protective tattoos the boys have for a few seasons. Generally, black eyes indicate possession, although in season one they hunt a demon with distinctive yellow eyes.


12. The Deaths

In a show about hunting evil, it's no surprise that there are a lot of deaths. Even the brothers aren't safe from Death's cold hands.


13. The Resurrections

It also stands to reason, that in a show about the supernatural there is bound to be a resurrection or two. Or four. Or more. Thank heavens, because where would a show be without its main characters?


14. The Laughter

The Winchesters lead a hard life, so every smile is like a ray of sunshine in a never-ending storm, something to be treasured. And what heart-melting smiles they are.


15. The Tears

So heartbreaking. Tears from Sam and Dean have a way of bringing your heart to its knees, and turning your eyes into water fountains.


16. The Love of Pie

Dean loves pie, and it's adorable. 'Nuff said.


17. The Bloopers

There are so many good bloopers that I had time choosing which one I wanted to use here! The chemistry on set is amazing, and leads to many, many hours of hilarious antics.


I hope you've enjoyed this peek into my little "Supernatural" world. Now go watch episode one!

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!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

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.
