Episode 8 of 'Riverdale' Made Me Completely Reevaluate My Perspective on Hal Cooper with a Brilliant Revelation
WARNING: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS FOR EPISODE 8 OF RIVERDALE ENTITLED "THE OUTSIDERS" The aptly-titled episode name for this week's #Riverdale depicts the various outsiders that inhabit the titular town with pep. They range from the Serpents gang, who attempt to distance themselves from the Riverdale residents by wearing matching leather jackets, to a daughter returning from the outside world of the Sisters to the familial pressures of wealthy WASPs.

How Lemony Snicket's 'A Series of Unfortunate Events' Was Anything but Unfortunate for Me
Picture It: Toronto, 2002 or 2003 (The early 2000s are all jumbled together). Back in the day, the Lemony Snicket book series, #ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents was one of my absolute favorite things to read. During my elementary school years (roughly Grades 2–5), we had a Book Club where we would spend our lunches with a delightful older woman who rocked some badass old lady glasses named Mrs. Slack. She would bring in some tuna in a container, lather that shit generously on her whole wheat crackers and gobble those tuna crackers down as she read to us the first novel of the series to — I suppose the third or fourth one was where we left off and I went to middle school (Grades 6–8).
