If you're anything like me, you probably just got out one of the worst binge holes this century has ever experienced. That's right my friends; I'm talking about, "Stranger Things." There are so many reasons as to why the show is so successful. For one, the acting is kind of fantastic, and I almost cried 31.452 times while watching season two. I mean, what is it about the cast that actually makes me want to adopt all of them? Like I want to be apart of Mike, Justin, Lucas, Eleven, and Max's party so bad, but that's another story. And the sci-fi feel is so captivating and always keeps me pressing the, "Are you still watching," button on Netflix. When I watched the show, there were ten times the electric 80s vibes made me wish I lived in the 80s.

1. The music

I can't tell you how many times I've listened to, "Take On Me," by A-ha, "Blue Monday," by New Order, and "Love Will Tear Us Apart Again," by Joy Divison after watching seasons one and two. Like, it's a problem.

2. The boys

Okay. I understand that Billy is actually the worst thing to walk the planet, but his face is great. Like, honestly. He has a quality face.

3. The sayings

I wish that I could say, "Dope," "Totally Tubular," and, "Bitchin'," without being looked at like I'm a serial killer.

4. The parties

I could only imagine how incredible 80s parties are. Between the PURE FUEL and awesome music, 80s parties are the way to have a good time.

5. The video games

I get genuinely sad at the fact that there aren't decades around. I would kill to play Pacman for hours on end and drinking cherry slushies. One can dream.

6. The relationships

May it be Nancy and Steve, or Nancy and Johnathan, I want a real 80s relationship. And my boyfriend has to drive a red Nissan Maxima. Like, duh.

7. The hair

80s hair is what dreams are made of. It's all big and full of volume. And the little piece of hair falling in people's faces is one of the best hair moves of all time.

8. The style

The 80s were all about funky sweaters and jackets, layers, and wearing sunglasses indoors. What. A. Life.

9. The friendships

The way Mike, Dustin, Lucas, and Eleven love each other actually makes me so emotional. They would do ANYTHING for each other, even their friend who has weird powers. The ride or die 80s friendships are truly iconic.


Now that season two is over, I don't know what to do. I can't wait a whole year for more "Stranger Things", so in the meantime I'll keep watching season one and two until my family and friends start to become concerned. It's gonna be, like, totally tubular.

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.
