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

Teen Titans, meet live action.

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!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
