10 Reasons Why 'Queer Eye' Should Be The Next Show You Binge Watch
Instagram

Unless you live under a rock or something, you've probably heard about Queer Eye: a show in which 5 openly gay men travel to small towns across the south and give total makeovers--as in fashion, interior design, diet, grooming, AND culture--to people who really need it. It is a FABULOUS (no pun intended) show that deserves your attention for SO. MANY. REASONS. Here is a list of reasons why you should binge watch this show, ASAP and why it's my most recent obsession.

1. It starts important conversations.

Antoni knows.

This is where Queer Eye truly shines: it is an excellent platform for the LGBTQ+ community to gain acceptance--and it does so in a way that isn't preachy. It's wonderful.

2. IT'S REALLY FRICKIN' HILARIOUS.

Love a lil JVN shade.

This show is funny without ever being mean and that is a feat in and of itself.

3. It teaches that self-care has no gender.

Tan gets it.

Men are so conditioned to think that a consistent grooming routine & caring about fashion are strictly feminine things--and that is BULLSH*T.

4. It is a perfect example of BEAUTIFUL MALE FRIENDSHIP.

My heart, Karamo. My HEART.

BYE TOXIC MASCULINITY. These men demonstrate how wonderful authentic, supportive male friendship can be.

5. It has genuinely great tips for everything ranging from fashion to interior design.

Bobby Berk for goddamn president.

FRENCH. TUCK. ALWAYS.

6. THEY'RE SO. DAMN. CUTE.

That SMIRK. UGH Antoni.

I literally cannot express how much I love them WOW. Every single one. UGH.

7. It shares truly wonderful stories.

Honestly same.

Many of the people that come on the show have really inspiring stories to share--from learning to accept themselves to putting others first to being a family man...there's so much to learn!

8. REPRESENTATION MATTERS.

It is really, really important for people to be able to see themselves in what they see in TV, in music, in movies, in the media, et cetera, et cetera. Queer Eye has an incredibly diverse cast and range of guests on the show.

9. It changes lives.

Mama Tammye with the wisdom YES QUEEN.

This show truly changes the lives of the people they bring on their show--and their viewers--for the better. This is not just a superficial show about changing what you look like, either: its goal is to improve the WHOLE person, not just the outside.

10. It's a damn good TV show.

Trust me on this one.

To put it shortly, this show is entertaining, heartwarming, educational, and hilarious: what more could you want?

YOU WON'T REGRET IT.

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.
