That 70's Show: A Review
goliath.com

I’m back everybody, (and by everybody I mean all three of you.) bingeworthy review has come back to its weekly schedule to give you guys some great binge-worthy shows on Netflix. First and foremost I would like to apologize for not posting anything recently, as I have been nursing a summer long hangover, (Disclosure: Odyssey, its administration and its writers, do not condone drinking alcohol. No one under the legal age should drink, and no one should drink and drive. Please drink responsibly.) Now I’m back and ready to Review!

We are going to start off the school year with an easy review: "That '70s Show." I know what you’re thinking, “who hasn’t seen that show already? I already love it, so why do I need a review from your half-assed excuse for a writer,” and to answer your question, that was very hurtful, and you should apologize. But anyways I have recently rewatched all of the series and with eight, twenty-six episode seasons, there’s a lot to discuss. So let’s review: "That '70s Show."

So, "That '70s Show." What is there really to like about it? Well just for starters, it has excellent writing that is able to move between the lines of comedy and teenage drama; wonderfully unique and colorful characters that can be relatable; and a theme song that, let’s face it, you’re humming right now. But the characters really are great. While Topher Grace as Eric foreman might be a little over the top, same with Asheton Kutcher’s Michael Kelso, both characters are able to have real moments of human emotions that people can relate to.

Now, like I said before pretty much everyone has seen this show, including me. However I haven’t seen this show since I was in 8th grade, and while I thought it was funny then, I’ve grown up a lot as a person, so now the show hits me in more ways than its comedy. Because the show centers on several friends in their late teens, there were moments as a 4 year old I didn’t relate to. So now the show is just that much better.

One of my favorite parts of the show is how accurate the lifestyle of the '70s is represented. Not that I would know or anything. The only memories I have of the '70s are from my past life as executed murderer, Charles Rodman Campbell. And watching these characters interact in a time so vastly different from a time where I grew up, it just makes me wish I could have experienced it for myself. Don’t get me wrong, I love living in this era, (we live in the future guys) but the simplicity and rebellious angst of the '70s seems so alluring. Not to mention the rise of rock.

I think my only problem with "That '70s Show" is that there are some seasons where they kind of miss their marks on what better seasons provided. Personally I’m not fond of season 4 or 8. Also the actress who played Eric’s sister Laurie died mid series and was replaced. I know it’s kind of late to talk about but it’s kind of weird you know. Anyways I think "That '70s Show" is a timeless gem that is old enough to be a background noise but can have something relatable for all ages.

Score: 3.5/5


Just to be clear, I dont actually have memories of a past life; convicted murderer or otherwise.

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.
