If you have Netflix, spend time on Tumblr, or if you just generally don't live under a rock, you have probably, at one point or another, at least heard of the Netflix original show, "Stranger Things". The show, which was released in July, combines horror, supernatural, and mystery. Though it is set in the 1980s and makes use of a vintage title screen, "Stranger Things" is horrifying, addicting, and realistic -- if you believe governmental conspiracies and that supernatural creatures exist, that is.

With only one season of the show released, viewers are left with hundreds of questions that they hope are answered in season two. So, if you've seen "Stranger Things" and loved it, then you probably understand. If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for?

1. Who is Eleven?

Is she really Terry Ives' daughter?

2. How did Eleven get her powers?

Sure, Terry was an experiment herself, but how was she the only one to have such a powerful child? And what drugs did she take to produce Eleven?

3. Where did the monster come from?

What is it? What is its origin story? Was there only one of them, or are there more in the Upside Down?

4. What is the Upside Down?

Can you only get there through the portals? Is the monster the only thing that lives there?

5. What do Mike and Nancy's parents think happen?

Last they heard, Eleven was dangerous and the entire "U.S. Government" was on the search for their son. Are they glad that Eleven is dead? Did Mike and Nancy set them straight and tell them all about the Upside Down and the monster? Or do they only know the absolute basics?

6. Did Terry Ives ever get better?

Her story line was brief and unsatisfying. Would meeting Eleven bring her back, if Eleven were her long lost daughter? Could Eleven do anything to help?

7. Does Eleven have any more powers?

She can kill people with her mind and reach to the Upside Down, among a slew of other psychokinetic gifts. But they all physically tire her. Will she ever grow and be able to do more for longer? Can she train her mind to do more?

8. Why didn't Nancy and Jonathan end up together?

Sure, Steve got better. He saved them and apologized for being a jerk. Yet Nancy and Steve never really had the chemistry that Nancy and Jonathan did. What a bummer.

9. How is Steve alright?

He walked in at the wrong time and got attacked by the monster, but he totally took it in stride. Why doesn't he have a million questions?

10. What happened to Eleven?

Is she still alive? Is she all alone in the Upside Down? And what does Chief Hopper know about her situation?

11. Speaking of Hopper, what happened when he was taken away in the government car?

Was he paid for his silence? Did he learn more about Eleven from them? Was he able to speak to her?

12. Is Will actually alright?

He went to the Upside Down, he was nearly sucked lifeless by the monster, and now he's coughing up pieces of it. Is he really alright? Does he have some weird connection to the monster now?

13. And, most importantly, why does no one care about Barbara?

What do her parents think? Why doesn't Nancy, her best friend, care about Barbara's death? #JusticeForBarbara

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
