10 Reasons To Binge-Watch Marvel's 'Runaways' Before Season 2 Begins

So, we've got a TV in our dorm room, but most of the time I still prefer a good Netflix show over cable. I'm one of those weird people who can't really binge-watch a show on Netflix or Hulu unless the season or series has ten episodes or less, and even then I can't make myself focus for hours at a time like that. It's the reason why I lost interest in popular shows like Grey's Anatomy. Sorry, but fifteen seasons and 20+ episodes per season reminds me of a mountain that I'll probably never finish climbing.

Lucky for me, I recently found Marvel's Runaways, a Hulu Original Show. Capped at ten episodes in it's one beautifully done season, I could've probably watched the whole show in an entire day if I didn't have things like college going on.

Here are ten reasons to watch the critically acclaimed show before season 2.

1. It's got a kick-ass theme song

It's even better than the Stranger Things theme, which is very hard to beat.

2. It resembles one of the best teen superhero shows, AKA Teen Titans

The original Teen Titans is a classic, and it's centered around five teen superheroes of all backgrounds. But don't get the original mixed up with the awful new Teen Titans Go! series.

3. Each episode ends in a cliffhanger

You can't stop once you've started!

4. There's plenty of diversity among the actors

It's always great to see a modern representation of a diverse group of friends in 2018. Add superpowers to the mix and things get even greater.

5. Not all of the kids have superhuman powers

Some have powers brought on by superhumanity, but others create their own powers/inventions. I always prefer a Batman to a Superman.

6. There's only ten episodes in the first season

This makes it super simple to binge and definitely leaves you wanting more!

7. The villains are the kids' parents

These kids have to fight against their evil parents. No, I'm not joking.

8. Of course, there's romance

You'll be rooting for certain characters to get together, for sure.

9. It's based on an original Marvel comic

If you're more of a reader, there's always the comics!

10. Season two is coming soon

There's no official release date yet, but that means there's plenty of time to go watch!

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)
