1. "I Love Lucy"
Lucille Ball is a comedy star! Her show about living life as the wife of famous Ricky Ricardo, played by her husband in real life Desi Arnaz, will for sure have you laughing. From the infamous chocolate factory scene to her schemes with neighbor Ethel Mertz, "I Love Lucy" is a classic that will bring at least a smile to your face.
2. "I Dream of Jeannie"
This was a favorite of mine growing up. The hilarious situations that Jeanie gets her master, Tony, into are absolutely amazing. I loved the magic to it and the humorous characters, Dr. Bellows, Roger Heley, and Tony Nelson, who all work at NASA.
Jeannie seems to continuously make small mistakes that cause Tony all kinds of trouble, usually witnessed by Dr. Bellows, a psychiatrist, who is starting to believe either Tony or himself is going mad.
3. "Gilligan's Island"
This show is a sure fire way to make me laugh. It follows seven characters who went on a 3 hour tour and find themselves shipwrecked on an uncharted island. It's amazing some of the ideas they're able to come up with as they try to survive and get off the island.
4. "The Brady Bunch"
I'm sure almost everyone has heard of this one because of it's popularity. It's a really sweet and often comedic show about the shenanigans of a large family of 8, not including Alice the housekeeper. The show is definitely worth a watch, it's much better than the movie.
5. "Leave it to Beaver"
"Leave it to Beaver" wasn't my ALL TIME favorite show to watch growing up, but now that I'm older and watch the occasional episode, I find it a lot more funny. It follows the mishaps of young Theodore, nicknamed Beaver because his older brother couldn't pronounce his name correctly when he was younger.
Some of the situations Beaver and his friends get into are quite funny and will have you cringing to think how much trouble he's causing.
6. "Bewitched"
This one I can say was one of my ALL TIME favorites. It might be the reason I love Harry Potter so much, I guess you could say I've always been really into the idea that magic exists. However, "Bewitched" is really nothing like Harry Potter.
It follows housewife, Samantha, who is a witch married to a mortal man, Darrin. Her family is against the idea and causes her and her husband into all sorts of havoc that she naturally has to sort out by using her powers, that she promised to keep to a minimum.
Once again, the movie is nothing like the show, apart from a witch wanting to live in the mortal world.
7. "Green Acres"
This show is very humorous as it follows a city couple who move to the country and find it is nothing what they thought it would be. It being the husband's idea he adjusts better to the life, but his wife has some difficulties leaving her spoiled city life behind.
Some of the things they go through, like climbing a telephone pole to make and receive phone calls or babysitting their neighbor's pet pig, is absolutely laughable.
8. "Family Ties"
Starring a young Michael J Fox, this show is a charming and funny show for the family. Its a story of two previously hippie parents who still support their beliefs, with a son who's hero is Richard Nixon, a stereotypical teenage girl, and their youngest daughter who is the complete opposite of her sister.
It's a feel-good show that teaches some of the best life lessons.
9. "The Love Boat"
For anyone who loves cheesy romantic-comedy chick flicks, this is the show for you. With a bunch of different guest stars and a new love story(ies) every episode, this classic is one you need to check out!
10. "The Andy Griffith Show"
Starring, you guessed it, Andy Griffith, as well as a young Ronnie Howard, and the famously hilarious comedian Don Knotts whats not to like about this show?? Some of the situations this sheriff, but mostly deputy, of the small town of Mayberry, get themselves into is hilarious.
It's got some great morals to each episode, but the comedy is more prominent.
11. "Golden Girls"
This show is.. well, golden! Betty White in herself is golden, but her and her three costars in this show are absolutely amazing! Every episode will have you laughing or crying, or both!
12. "The Dick Van Dyke Show"
Another show yet again named after the main star because, well, who doesn't know who Dick Van Dyke is. If you don't watch this show! And Mary Poppins!
13. "Mork and Mindy"
Young Robin Williams as an alien... do I need say more?
14. "Hogan's Heroes"
Set in a German prisoner of war (POW) camp during World War II, this comedy is one to for sure check out. It follows a group of American prisoners who aren't really prisoners at all, as the German leaders aren't very bright. Hogan and his posse escape the camp several, several times but always come back because they have sorta become the inside men and the Germans have no idea.
They have communication radios to their commanders and tunnels leading out of the camp. It's really quite humorous some of the things they're able to get away with.
15. "Dharma and Greg"
You know what they say, opposites attract! And that is the exact situation of Dharma and Greg. Dharma comes from two extremely hippie parents and she's inherited a lot of their traditions and has the most amazing personality ever. Greg comes from a prim and proper rich family who never step a toe out of line.
Together though they make the CUTEST COUPLE EVER! They're so in love with each other and get into all sorts of mischief, usually prodded on by Dharma, and Greg tries to be rational but loves it because of how much he loves her.
It's really very a good show. It is from the late 90's early 2000's but I've never met someone who's watched it, so I thought I'd include it.

You pay half as much as your friends do when you go out
This is probably the best part of being a lightweight. Just give me 2 shots and a mixed drink and I'm good for the next few hours.
You hit the midnight level of drunk around 9 p.m.
Yes, I can definitely tell when I'm already way drunker than all my friends because they start giving each other looks like, "Oh God, here she goes!"
Pre-gaming is just as intense as actually going out
You want me to drink how many shots?! That isn't a pre-game, that's endgame.
Driving is out of the question because your BAC is over the legal limit after one drink
Even the DD can have one drink, right? WRONG.
You know exactly how much alcohol is in every mixed drink so you don't accidentally go overboard
Long Island iced teas are a no no unless you want your stomach pumped.
Your hangovers are 10 times worse than anybody else's
I can literally feel my liver aching...
Casual drinks are never just casual drinks
Thursday night, half-price sangria gets you tipsy after one glass. It's just sad.
Wine tasting isn't even an option
It's like they don't want lightweights to enjoy the good things in life.
You can still feel the alcohol even if you get a drink with dinner
That Super Tiki Twister looks really great until I'm tipsy on a Wednesday at Texas Roadhouse during what was supposed to be a casual girl's night.
Drinking games are a no-go
I have played exactly one drinking game in my entire life and it ended up with me dropping a vodka cranberry all over myself and my boyfriend.
You always look the most rachet in every single group picture
I take pictures with friends on every night out and never actually post any. So basically, there is no evidence that I actually ever go out.
Nausea hits way too fast
Once I had maybe three or four drinks at a club and was in the bathroom for a solid half hour because I thought I was going to throw up. Fun night.
You have designated going out shoes because they always end up just as trashed as you
Oh, that stain? Yeah, that's from that one time I decided to chug an entire marg and then drop my next drink all over myself.
Your Snapchat stories are basically shaky videos of you screaming at your friends to chug their drinks
Why can't everyone else be on this level too, right?
You are the one already wanting to do crazy shit while the rest of your group isn't even tipsy yet
Come dance with me! Let's sing karaoke! Ohmygod, let's go get tattoos!

The Night Before
Alright, so here's the deal: if you walk into the stores on February 15th without thinking ahead you'll most likely end up spending more money than you would have if you had bought the brand candy before the discount. Why? Well, walking into the store and seeing all the sale tags may quicken your heart rate faster than downing an entire box of Sweet Hearts in two minutes (no, I don't speak from experience). You'll be so shell-shocked you'll start grabbing anything and everything you can. This means all the lack-luster, second tier candy that no one wants in general will somehow find it's way into your shopping bag. When you get home to unwrap your finds, you'll discover candies you didn't even realize you got, some of which you probably don't even like. The bottom line here is: the candy is discounted, but don't let the sales trick you into spending money on candy you know you won't even like, even if it's a great deal. Narrow down a list of four (or seven) candies you absolutely know you cannot go another day without inhaling and stick to your guns. Making a list will make your mission have a clear purpose and you'll be less likely to derail and spend money on candy you won't ever touch.
When I say I'm going to limit myself...media2.giphy.com
The Day Of
The day has arrived: you've got your list, you've dusted off your running shoes, and there's a Netflix show queued up for your return. Now it's time to head to the store(s). Upon arrival, venture into the store and start making your rounds. Remember: the trick to Discount Candy Day is to be smart about your purchases. Stick to your list, no matter how tantalizing the sales may seem, the stores do this to trick you. Usually the best sales are on the cheapest candy-the candies you wouldn't buy otherwise. If you can't find everything on your list, don't fret, you can always look somewhere else if your heart desires. After filling your shopping basket with the essentials on your list, allow yourself to look around for a bit. Glance at the shelves and decide whether or not to purchase anything you may have forgotten to put on your list. Limit yourself to two items that you find while looking around-remember, if it wasn't memorable enough to put on your list in the beginning, is it really worth it? Then, head to the counter, check out, and take your beautiful finds home.

The Day of (Pt. 2)
Step 1: Put on your comfiest clothes
Step 2: Rip open the first bag (of many)
Step 3: Sit back, relax and enjoy your discount candy for the best Valentine out there (aka YOU)!

4. Do you believe in soul ties?
This is actually a great reenactment of the reaction from asking this question lol
GiphyThe winning answer was: No
The topic of soul ties has always been controversial especially within Christianity. People often argue about if you have some sort of connection with anyone that you've been intimate with. The argument is about how when you lay down with someone that you're opening your soul up to them. Soul ties can also happen in friendships. The pattern I've seen in what 'soul ties' are has been about the impact someone has on you that you're close to or have been intimate with.
Some guys believe in it in a spiritual sense but not a physical sense. Some have never experienced this and had no clue what I was talking about.

Giphy(Best Trait) The winning answer: Our emotional intelligence/Nurturing.
The guys said they loved the way that we know how to pick them up when they're down and punching walls.
(Worst Trait): The winning answer: Jumping to conclusions/ Assuming
On the bright side, guys got pretty stumped when they got to this question but they all chose this as the top answer without a shadow of a doubt.
11. Would you let your daughter date a guy like you?
GiphyThe winning answer: Yes (shocker)
The answers in favor of 'No' all shared a pattern of still being unsure about what they want vs the 'Yes' men who have an idea of what they want.
12. Is flirting cheating?
GiphyThe winning answer: Yes
This was another quickly answered question without any doubt.
A few guys expressed that it depends on your intent and it doesn't count if some people think that you're naturally flirty.
13. Biggest regret when it comes to relationships?
GiphyTypically, these answers started to dive into some really sad story times but the winning answer was all over the place.
A few unique answers were:
-long distance
-'having my time wasted by women that claim they know what they want but they really don't'
-saying I love you too fast and using it too loosely
