15 Things That Happen When You're the Only Person Who Watches Your Favorite Show
Lana Wachowski

We all have that one show: the show that has changed your life, made you laugh/cry harder than any other show in the world, the show that you can watch any day of the week and it'll still be the greatest show of all time, and the show that also happens to be the one show no one else you know watches. Sure, you'll find one or two people who share your interests, and you can find three Buzzfeed articles to read about them whenever you get bored, but it's not the same. So here are the 15 worst things about watching and loving a show no one else watches as told by my unwatched shows Gavin & Stacey and Sense8. (all image credits belong to Gavin & Stacey and Sense8 Gifs )

1. No one gets your refrences.


2. The plot of your show sounds like an Introductory to Swahili course in North Dakota to everyone who isn't you.


3. You get extremely defensive of your show whenever anyone insults it.


4. People tell you to calm down because"it can't be that good if I've never heard of it".


5. You literally cannot stop laughing at jokes that make no sense to anyone else.


6. Your OTPs can never be found on Tumblr because no one watches your show even though they are the best couples to ever exist.


7. The characters themselves are iconic and the world does not appreciate their majesty.


8. When you tell your friend how alike they are to a character, you end up sounding weird because the only references they can find to those characters are gifs like below:


9. Your favorite characters give great advice, and no one else can hear it.

(For real, this is the woman who plays Old Nan in Game of Thrones and she was a comedy legend).

10. Sometimes, you feel like you're going to explode with how much you love your unloved show


11. Since you're usually alone when you watch it, you may lose touch with the real world for a little bit.


12. Every new season is like Christmas even though it seems like you're the only one celebrating.


13. If you use terms from the show, people will think you're speaking a foreign language.


14. When you meet someone who watches your show, it's the best feeling in the world.


15. But besides that person, let's be real, this is exactly how you feel about everyone else:

Happy watching!

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.
