Four Shows To Watch After 'Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life'
Netflix

As everyone probably already knows by now, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life aired on November 25th, Black Friday. We all exhaled a collective 'What the ****?!' after the last four words were said, but now it's time to move on. I know, I know it'll be hard pulling yourself out of your Gilmore hangover. That's why I have some suggestions to help ease you into a new show that will inevitably send you into a crying, screaming rage like all good television shows do.


1. Penny Dreadful

It's nothing at all like Gilmore Girls, but if you need something different to shock you out of your funk, this is it. Combine an American gunslinger, a medium, and an explorer (along with some famous fictional characters - Victor Frankenstein and Dorian Gray) all in Victorian London as they fight supernatural forces, and you've got one heck of a show. It's not for the faint of heart, though. So check your stomach at the door before entering this world.

2. Last Man Standing

If you're a fan of Time Allen (and really, who isn't?), you need to watch this. It's incredibly funny, but if you get offended easily, stay away. It's not politically correct by any means so either develop a thick skin or get out. The plot: Mike (Tim Allen) is a married father of three daughters who each have personalities large enough to rival his own. He is the marketing director for 'Outdoor Man,' a sporting goods store. As part of his job, he posts videos to the company's site that contain his opinions and advice while also promoting the business.

3. Zoo

If you want to foray into a slightly sci-fi world, do it here. No, it's not about a physical zoo you can visit. It's basically like the animal version of the zombie apocalypse. Animals across the world start turning violent and attacking humans. A team of people (including a zoologist and a journalist) find their way together and try to figure out the cause and a cure. Inevitably, they run into a million obstacles, and like anything sci-fi there are enough twists and turns to make your head spin.

4. Jessica Jones

Krysten Ritter strikes again. If you don't know who that is, shame on you. Think Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 and her brief but adorably quirky role as Lucy in season 7 of Gilmore Girls. Jessica Jones is based on the Marvel comic character of the same name. Netflix's synopsis: "She's a gifted PI hiding a past that's left her broken but still fighting. Revenge may be sweet, but she isn't." It's a pretty dark show, also not for the faint of heart.


I could list dozens more (and movies...don't even get me started), and one day I might. But for now, start with these. Indulge. Binge. Let yourself be swept away in these different worlds and temporarily forget about those infuriating LAST FOUR WORDS.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
