CBS's "The Good Fight" is finally back for another compelling season. Starring Christine Baranski and Game of Thrones's Rose Leslie, the intense legal drama is jumpstarting season two by tackling a variety of hot-button political and social issues, including consent, legal defense for the incarcerated, and the #MeToo movement, among others.

Centered around an accredited and renown legal firm, renamed Reddick, Boseman, & Lockhardt, "The Good Fight" enmeshes political and social commentary into its main plot and subplots, entangling certain aspect of American political reality into the show's fictionalized world. In other words, the show does not shy away from mentioning President Trump and his policies, comments, and tweets, often satirizing the already unorthodox remarks he makes on Twitter and in public.

Of course, for previous viewers, the show picks up where it left off, in the midst of bright new attorney Maia Rindell's legal troubles. Still entangled in the aftermath of her father's financial schemes, Maia deals with betrayal and deceit, all the while fighting to clear her name from the investigation. With her mother in jail and her dad missing, Maia only has her lawyer and friend, Lucca, to help her. As Maia struggles to track down her dad to hand him over to the police, an array of lies and secrets obstruct both her judgment and her heart.

What is perhaps most surprising and noteworthy is the show's addition of a new subplot, which focuses on the sudden and terrifying murders of lawyers all across Chicago by presumably former clients. It's unclear if all the murders and targets are connected, but no law firm or lawyer is immune. Meanwhile, Marissa Gold is finally getting to work as a private investigator, in addition to being Diane's assistant.

Of course, many are other revelations come to light as the season unfolds, but if you want to know more, I highly recommend watching the show.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
