'Stranger Things' Moments That Made Season 3 The Best Season

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD

El and Mike's love.

Nothing like the sweet young love, we have been knowing its true love since the first episodes in season one. It's driving Hopper crazy, but we all cried in the last episode after his speech he left for them. There's also a scene where El takes off her blindfold and she's desperately looking for Mike and she was revealed to know he was right next to her the whole time. Their relationship definitely builds stronger after El discovers the teenage world without her boyfriend, but at the end of the day, they find a way back to each other.

Alexi just wanted a cherry slurpee, he didn't deserve to die...

We are first introduced to Alexi, the Russian scientist working on the secret mission to open the portal to the other side. My friend explains; "He was the perfect example of the American dream, and his death was one of the most tragic in TV history. It's hard to encompass his significance in just words. His comic relief and sort of weird relatability made him an iconic character, in that he experienced so many horrible things, but took joy in the little things. Such as a slushy or the carnival toy." Alexi just wanted to watch cartoons and drink cheery slurps and to be American, he could've been free in the land of the free...rip Alexi, he will not be forgotten.

Why do you lie? I dump your ass.

El has been bitchin since season one and we are here for it! Max and El's friendship was iconic this season. Last season when we were first introduced to Max, El wasn't having it since. This season as they flowered into hormonal teenagers their friendship taught us that is not always about boyfriends, but that we also need to bond with our own species every once in a while. After El dumps his ass, she gets to experience the mall and shopping for the first time although it was prohibited for many reasons. The sleepovers were iconic scenes that taught us the meaning of friendship.

Scoop Troop ForeverĀ 

Scoop Troop> Everyone else. The mother and son, Steve and Dustin are joined by Erica and Robin. Erica only joined in exchange for free ice cream, forever. Once they finally crack the Russian code and the powerful team cracks the whole secret mission that's taking place below the mall. We have two ice cream translators who are later saved by their new babysitters, We Stan.

Robin

We were all waiting for the cliche moment to finally build-up, where Steve Harrington gets the girl. Plot Twist! Robin hated Steve Harrington in high school, not because she was crazy in love with him, but because the girl she loved was crazy in love with him. She's definitely not like Nancy Wheeler and that is exactly why we fell in love with her. Yeah, holy s***.

Hopper's speech about growing up.

The speech that Hop wrote for El and Mike...hit all of us. Hopper was the most loving father and friend to all of us throughout the seasons and we do believe that he isn't actually dead. El saved him from the dark cave he was in before she showed up and changed his life. He didn't want things to change but had finally accepted she was growing up. He told us that life is moving, sometimes is sad and painful, he told us to make mistakes and learn from them. That hurt is good and will mean we are finally out of the cave, but to always keep the door open three inches.

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.
