Can You Believe I Only Came Up With 10 Reasons To Watch 'Queer Eye,' The List Could Go On Forever

Yes, it's another reboot that no one asked for! But this time, it's a reboot that Netflix has control over, so it's bound to be amazing. And it is! Psychology, hair, cosmetics, fashion, family, food, and interior design are only some of the show's elements! It's deep, it's meaningful, it's funny, and it changes lives. Here are my top ten reasons for you to watch "Queer Eye" on Netflix:

1. Positive message

Giphy

Every single episode is filled with great messages about support, love, and kindness to yourself and others. They also all have happy endings. If you crave positive reality shows that aren't filled with needless drama, this is the show for you. It's very cleansing.

2. Shows amazing transformations

Giphy

Turns out, everyone has potential for fabulousness! Even if they need the help of five random gay men to see it. If you love makeover montages in films where a character goes from eh to amazing, you NEED to watch this show.

3. Changes lives

Giphy

Holy wow. The people that the Fab Five visit begin in a very low place, but you can really see the positive difference by the end of the show. They look better, feel better, dress better, cook better, and are just overall better in general. They reach a potential they never saw as realistic for themselves until now.

4. Redefines masculinity

Giphy

Guess what? Men cry. And we as a society really need to let them know that it's okay. "Queer Eye" is helping them see that, as there are tears shed in every single episode. It's human, and not a feminine thing to do! We all have tear ducts and pent-up emotions that need to come pouring out of us! We also all like to look good, so let men pamper themselves, dammit!

5. Diverse men

Giphy

There are straight men, gay men, trans men, and even women featured on this show (and of all ethnicities and cultural views). All the men!

6. Doesn’t focus on sexuality when it doesn’t need to

Giphy

People can be turned off when the topic of sexuality is the only thing people talk about, and there is a negative stereotype that the LGBTQ+ community is the main offender when it comes to that topic. Well, this show is a slap in the face to anyone who subscribes to that stereotype! It's a show about DESIGN and HELPING OTHERS, not sexual preference. This show does a great job of remaining true to it's mission, while still keeping it a good amount of gay.

7. Hot gay men

Giphy

I think pretty much everyone can appreciate hot people. Watch this show if you like to look at hot people making other people look and feel hot. It's hot.

8. Inspirational

Giphy

Dramatic personal changes happen! None of us are who we were ten years ago! But sometimes, we need some help reaching our potential, especially if we don't even know what our potential is.

9. Begins important conversations

Giphy

Politics, gender and gender roles, racial discrimination, stereotypes, coming out…these conversations NEED TO BE HAD. It is a part of life, and this show presents both sides of the story every time. Want to see a black man and a white police officer have a civil conversation about the problems they face? Watch this show.

10. Great overall design

Giphy

I am a huge design nerd. It's how I grew up, my mom being a graphic designer and my dad being an information and customer experience designer. So when I tell you that this show is aesthetically pleasing and that the Fab Five know what they are doing when they create wardrobes, hairstyles, and whole house interiors from scratch, trust me.

Please, please watch this show. You are bound to love it no matter who you are or what walk of life you come from. Chances are, you can personally relate to someone on this show, and watching them transform may even make you a better person. What is your potential? Probably even better and higher than you think.

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.

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.
