Reasons To Love "UNHhhh" With Katya and Trixie Mattel
World of Wonder Productions

"Hi! I'm the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Trixie Mattel. And I am the Laura Ingalls Wilder of drag, Katya. And this is UNHhhh..."

On March 25th, 2016, the world was graced with a revolutionary new show. "UNHhhh," pronounced like the noise you make when you are about to vomit or are trying to turn someone on, with Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova released its first episode. For those of you not in the loop, Trixie and Katya are superstar, iconic drag performers from season seven of "Rupaul's Drag Race." Trixie, the queen with the clown-like aesthetic who was sent home too soon, and Katya, the Russian bisexual vixen with a million catchphrases and the Miss Congeniality crown on her head, have been running the show. "UNHhhh" is their show and not ours so they can talk about whatever they want.

Katya and Trixie have used their expert status to talk about everything from traveling to dating to flirting and more. Think of them as your crazy, alcoholic aunts recreating Maury Povich and Dr. Phil at the same time. They are honest, truthful, concise, and most importantly, correct about everything. These best friends (or lovers, depending on what fan fiction you are reading) give it to you every episode. So why am I gagging so? Because this show is fabulous! That's why!

One of my favorite episodes, episode 8 to be exact, is when the duo discussed drag names. Naming yourself when you become a drag queen, because what skinny twink or desperate gay who needs a Halloween costume isn't trying to be one, is incredibly difficult and takes a good amount of skill and artistry. If you are not a comedy queen, maybe don't go for the pun name. If you are a comedy queen, go for it! Be the next Lisa Newcar or (wait for it, you'll get it) Karen from Finance, two amazing drag queens you'll attempt to be.

Some true highlights of the 17 released episodes have been: Katya's laugh, Trixie getting read for her thighs by someone on the street, and the stories that these beautiful women have to share. I don't want to spoil any of them for you, but they involve shaving a butt, a dead mother's chair, and stolen cash. You want to watch the show now, you clicked out of this article and jumped over to YouTube. It's OK. I still got the page view, and I thank you for that.

The episodes can be found on the "World of Wonder" YouTube page or on either queens' social media accounts. Make sure to watch them all and subscribe to WOW Presents or presents, as the girls say, like under your Holiday Tree of celebrating all holidays. I linked the first episode below so you don't even have to go looking. Say goodbye to the next hour or so of your life, while you binge watch and learn from these experts in all aspects of life.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
