8 Reasons "That 70's Show" Should Be Your Next Binge-Watch Session
Instagram

If you're about my age or older you've probably heard of "That 70's Show." It is a period sitcom that aired from 1996-2006 with a total of 8 seasons. In the fictional world though the show goes from 1976-1979. The main cast focuses on Eric, Donna, Hyde, Jackie, Fez, Kelso, and Erics parents Red and Kitty. It's basically a show all about their lives using loads of sarcasm and plenty of jokes. If you're wondering why I've decided to talk about this show, well I have just finished watching all 8 seasons within the last month and i'm feeling sentimental.

1. The Sarcasm

This show is literally filled with sarcasm which personally is my favorite style of conversation. Essentially the show is like another version of friends but the main characters are in highschool/college so it's a bit more relatable. This also makes the sarcasm even funnier because you can literally imagine you saying something just like they said to your own friends.

2. Fez

Fun fact, they never actually gave Fez a real name. When he announced his name an alarm went off so no one could hear it. In turn the guys decided to name him Fez (Foreign Exchange Student). Throughout all 8 seasons you never actually know where Fez comes from which is the basis of all jokes made about Fez, that and his accent which no one can understand. Overall Fez just makes for a great character to make fun of.

3. Eric and Donna

Eric and Donna are literally a power couple. From the beginning of the show till the end you're always rooting for Donna and Eric no matter the circumstance. It's almost as if Eric is the underdog and Donna is the girl who fell for the underdog. Their relationship is literally hilarious and if you watch the show and don't root for Donna and Eric then at least root for someone Jackie gets with...you'll have plenty of options.

4. The Costumes

In fashion everything comes back around. Watching this show today makes me realize that even more. There were so many times I saw outfits that people wear today especially the pants. Super wide leg pants are totally in right now and even though I don't own a pair I'm rooting for the look. As a whole the outfits they wear are great, especially during the times they go Roller-discoing.

5. Red

Red is the epitome of a bitter man. From his comments about putting his foot in the butt of people who annoy him, to his I don't care attitude 24/7. He think everyone (except Kitty his wife) is dumb so that pretty much sums up his character.

6. Jackie

Jackie is basically a bratty pretty girl who believes the whole world owes her everything and then some....which is why she's great. In the beginning everyone hates Jackie and doesn't want her to be a part of the group, but because she dates Kelso she is slowly becomes one of them despite her interests. A fun fact about Mila Kunis who plays Jackie is that she lied to producers about her age when auditioning so she was only 14 when the show started. She also had her first kiss on the show with Ashton Kutcher aka Kelso who she is now married to today.

7. The Relationships

The relationships in this show are wild. For one Jackie literally dates all the main characters except Eric mainly because 90% of the time he was with Donna. The same goes for Kelso but in a larger term of dating everyone in Point Place. As a whole the relationships in this show rotate like no other so it's a fun time.

8. Kelso

Kelso is essentially the village idiot of "That 70's Show." For measure he falls off the town water tower every year of the show and occasionally the reason he falls is because the others trick him into jumping...every...single..time. His character provides tons of humor relief throughout the show from one dumb comment to another. To top it all of he is super narcissistic.

As a whole I highly recommend the show if you're looking for something to kill some time. It's a good laugh.

Happy Watching!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
