Who Said Acapella Was Dead?
Last night’s season three premiere was JAM PACKED with talent as 8 acapella groups blasted off the most unique and one of a kind singing competition show, “The Sing-Off.” This being my first time ever tuning in, I wasn’t quite sure what I was preparing myself for, but I found, right off the bat, that i was clapping along in amazement at the fact that these crews sounded...
Emmy Winners →
So my predictions were WAY off, minus a couple correct ones here and there. I was a little shocked with the winners this year! McCarthy, Chandler, and Probst were all very shocking to me! Congrats to “Mad Men,” “The Daily Show,” and “Modern Family” for stealing the awards, like ALWAYS, again this year! I’m still hoping for a Michael C. Hall and Dexter win!...

Secrets, Secrets Are No Fun. They Can Really Hurt...
The CW, which is embarrassingly becoming one of my favorite networks, introduced one of its highly anticipated premieres Thursday 9/15. “The Secret Circle” is a mysterious show about a group of high school witches (yes, boys as well can be considered Witches nowadays), the parents that hold a hush-hush secret over their heads, and the creepy and eerie town they live in.

Babies Are So Hot Right Now
Whether it be the insane rate in which teenaged pregnancy is climbing, or the fact that all the kids of the baby boomers are starting to get hitched, TV shows about babies are blasting off, pushing ratings to the top of the charts. NBC’s “Up All Night” is no exception.
Chris (Will Arnett) becomes a stay at home father after their baby is born. Reagan (Christina Applegate) a...

Top 5 Shows That Should Have Ended Before They...
As the avid TV viewer I am, i was up late the other night thinking of shows that used to be so good! Many shows came to mind. However, as happy I was to remember these amazingly written shows I was slapped in the face with the wrong turn they all took. These five shows, in my opinion, started higher than the rest, they were the Mount Everest of television. Unfortunately, they all tumbled down this...

Hungry? Why Wait?
I thought this was super interesting! Check it out, tell me what you think! Could you eat someone like the 16 teammates from the Stella Maris Rugby team in order to survive? Interesting question, one that requires much thought!

Do We Need Help Teaching Teachers?
A research study has just been published, stating that many students that come out of a teaching program are not as prepared as they should be to lead their own classroom. The two biggest schools that produce indecent teachers? NIU and ISU. This comes as both an insane shock to me, and as an expected outcome. My shock comes from the fact that teaching is in such a low demand right now. Schools are...

41% Of Us Sleep Behind The Wheel!
The Tribune posted this article last night about a study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration finding that 41% of the people surveyed have claimed they had fallen asleep behind the wheel for more than a minute at a time. 11% of these findings had been in the past year alone! This is some scary stuff! We already have so many things that can go wrong while behind the...

Obsessed
I am currently reading Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road” for an English Lit assignment and it got me thinking. With the popularity of the apocalypse, why is humanity so obsessed with our eminent end of days? I had to write a reaction paper to this topic and I thought it was good enough to post here. Check it out, if you’re interested. I found some pretty good reasoning behind...
