"Stranger Things": A Netflix Original.

Need a new Netflix series to binge watch this summer? Well, I've got the answer. "Stranger Things." This one season, eight episode show will have you hooked instantly, and even extremely frustrated once you finish it in an entire day and realize well, that's it. Anyone who is into supernatural/science fiction, this is totally the show for you.

Set in a small town in Indiana during the 1980s, a 12-year-old-boy named Will goes missing in a very mysterious way. His mother, played by well-known, award winning actress Winona Ryder, is skeptical of his disappearance and goes to further motives to figure out what really happened to her son, along with Will's three best friends, the bad ass Mike, Lucas and Dustin. They come across a young girl who goes by the name "Eleven." She is very confused and knows almost no language and ends up becoming a close friend of theirs despite their skepticism. She even helps the boys figure out what really happened to Will. Sounds interesting right? Well, it is way more intense than that (I don't want to give too much away).

I was completely blown away by this show and finished the entire series in a day, (it was humid and raining out, so I don't feel guilty) but I would do it all again in a second. The cast is phenomenal, and it is even better that the entire plot of the series is ran by these young kids, which makes it way cooler. These young boys are so destined to find the truth behind Will's disappearance, and they go to extreme lengths to do so, with very little fear of the possible consequences. Along with the boys, Will's brother is an awesome character as well as his mother, played by Winona Ryder, who is one of my personal favorites. The show all around is completely awesome, besides the finale, which leaves with a total cliff hanger and some unanswered questions.

Apparently, a season two is currently in the works, and I can only hope so. This show is one of the best I've seen in a while, and this is coming from a series freak, despite me watching the same ones over and over. It's easy to get into and easy to understand, completely captivating. If you're ever bored on a rainy day, or even a beautiful one, I totally suggest binge watching this awesome show.

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.
