The Atlantic

If you go away for college it's likely the first time you're living on your own. Living on your own comes with a lot of responsibilities and as a college student I know there is a lot of things that I don't understand. At least once a week my mom gets a phone call that is combined with complaints and questions, here are a few:

1. "How long until ____ expires?"

2. "Can you send me a care package?"

3. "What should I take for my cold?"

4. "I'm bored."

5. "What's going on at home?"

6. "Do you miss me?"

7. "I miss you."

8. "Where's Dad?"

9. "I'm so stressed I want to drop out."

10. "What did you do today?"

11."I'm so hungry."

12. "The food here sucks, I miss your cooking."

13. "How do I get this stain out?"

14. "Can you send me a gift card to Dunkin'?"

15. "I have no money."

16. *complain about being tired

17. *complain about doing homework

18. * complain about having class in the morning

19. "I miss home cooked meals."

20. "Bye. Love you. I'll probably call you tomorrow."

11 Christmas Movies You'll Remember If You Were A 2000s Kid

The Christmas season is coming to an end, but it's not too late to get some last-minute movies in! Unfortunately, this year didn't look like a typical Christmas. While we can't have any big Christmas parties or family gatherings, we can still celebrate at home! Christmas is the best time for nostalgia, and we could all use some warm and fuzzy feelings as we wrap up a tough year and enter a new one that hasn't been proven any calmer, either.

As a kid who grew up in the 2000s, I can think of some of my favorite staple Christmas movies. If you're looking for recommendations or just a walk down memory lane, check out the list below.

As we enter the new year, you might be looking for a great show to kick-off 2021. Look no further, I have the perfect recommendation. "The Wilds" was released on Amazon Prime last month and has been gaining traction steadily since then. This series of 10 one-hour episodes tells the stories of eight girls who find themselves on a deserted island after their plane crashed while they are on their way to a resort. Unlike other survival shows, there's a bit more to the story than what first meets the eye. This show is unique in characters, storytelling methods, and plot.

If you aren't convinced yet, allow me to provide you with a list of further persuasion.
