Do you enjoy science fiction from the 1980s? Mysterious children, who have dangerous powers? Or even the idea that the government is hiding something from us? Well the newest Netflix series, "Stranger Things" has become the newest sensation in social media that has all of that and so much more! While "Stranger Things" have been streaming on Netflix for about a month, fans have been poured out by the millions each week as the show has easily become a part of pop culture. In fact, you can say that some fans can be a little more obsessed and there are a few signs that someone is obsessed with "Stranger Things."

1. Dragging your friends into the series

The best way to start a show? Dungeons & Dragons as shown here!

Just like most shows on Netflix, fans of "Stranger Things" would often recommend the show to their friends after watching one episode, it's just that good! Fans casually mention the basis of the story in any given conversation, or what I do is explain the plot anytime someone walks into me binge watching "Stranger Things."

2. Stocking up on Eggo waffles

Eleven channels every college student with a toaster.

"Stranger Things" is covered with shout outs to iconic products of the 1980s including these lovely toaster waffles. As the lovable Eleven adapts to her new surroundings, it's safe to say that she has the right idea to raid all the Eggo waffles. I'm not sure if my roommates would like the boxes of Eggos in the freezer.

3. Stocking up on chocolate pudding

"Stranger Things" helps fans channel their childhood by stocking up on both Eggos and chocolate pudding. Not only do the main characters easily relate to the audience, but let's not forget that these two food items are actually really cheap.

4. Becoming suspicious of flickering lights

Ever since I finished the show, (after binge watching the first season in one day), I've been keeping an eye on every single light that is in my room. As all fans of "Stranger Things" would know, flickering lights can mean danger to either yourself or someone else! I'm still working on making a wall alphabet without getting fined for damage.

5. Cutting your hair like Eleven


It's safe to say that Eleven is all of us when it comes to fries.

There's something about Eleven that draws fans to make her one of the most lovable characters in "Stranger Things." It could be her innocence as she learned about what friends are, or how deeply she cared for Mike, Lucas, and Dustin. Since a lot of people love Eleven, it would take a lot of dedication to go out and have your head like hers, as it could give you super powers.


In the end, whether you bought all the Christmas lights at the nearest Wal-Mart or jammed to "Africa" by Toto, "Stranger Things" has made its way into the hearts of millions of viewers home with its eye-catching sci-fi mystery...with a little element of shock as the series progresses.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
