Do you have those TV shows that you know you are probably a little too old to be watching? Do you ever feel guilty tuning in every week to catch the latest episode? Do your friends give you sideways looks when you go on and on about how much you adore all of the characters and how great the storyline is? Well, that is kind of how I feel about the amazing MTV series, "Teen Wolf."
I started watching "Teen Wolf" when I was a junior in high school, and my love for it has only grown stronger over time. However, as I was watching the premiere of its fifth season this past June, I realized something. I, Alex Agee, was no longer a teen. Here I was watching a show about these kids in high school, when I had been out of high school for over two years. I remember thinking, does this mean I need to stop following the series?
So, being the logical college student that I am, I formed a list of reasons that explain why it is perfectly acceptable for its 20-something fans to continue watching the show.
1. You became so invested in the series while you were a teenager that you cannot give up on it now just because of some arbitrary age limit.
2. You have to make sure your favorite characters make it out of Beacon Hills alive.
Seriously, if they all make it to graduation I will be pleasantly surprised.
3. Even though you are no longer in high school, the memories of the hardships you faced there will not soon be forgotten.
4. The nerd in you secretly enjoys all of the myths and legends you learn about from the show.
Can I write my college final on the history of the Banshee please?
5. What else are you planning on doing with your Monday nights during the summer?
Who needs "The Bachelorette"?
6. It showcases strong female leads that are a refreshing sight in today's television geared toward young adults.
7. It features some pretty cool, but off the radar, tunes that you will be dying to hear again.
8. Scott's relationship with his mom makes you want to be a better son/daughter.
9. Despite its dark tone, it is jam packed with great humor and wit.
10. You have to find out if Lydia and Stiles will ever get together.
Don't let me down, Jeff Davis.
11. The eye candy.
Like every single person on this show is swoon-worthy.
12. The Sciles bromance is too adorable for words.
And they're best friends in real life. BONUS!
13. Dylan O'Brien is one of the main characters.
14. Dylan O'Brien.
15. Oh, and did I mention it stars DYLAN O'BRIEN!
