11 Reasons Why Everyone Should Watch Queer Eye
The Outline

The reboot of the hit makeover show Queer Eye came out on Netflix in early February, and it has already been renewed for a second season that will debut later this year. With the tagline of, “The original show was fighting for tolerance. Our fight is for acceptance," Queer Eye is a show that fights to break boundaries. I honestly can say that is one of the most inspiring shows I have seen in a long time and that is why I have assembled a list of reasons why everyone should watch the show at least once.

1. The Amazing Makeovers

While this may be the most obvious reason, the makeovers on queer eye are truly amazing. Tan France, the fashion expert, Johnathan Von Ness, the hair expert, and Karamo Brown, the culture expert, help transform the guys into more confident and self-assured individuals. Plus, it's truly inspiring to see how a simple haircut can completely transform a guy's persona.

2. The Feels!

The show is definitely more emotional than the original Queer Eye, which was much more filled with cheesy hijinks and funny moments. The reboot offers a lot of feel-good moments that often cause tears of joy. I myself teared up during the pilot episode when they transformed a shy and self-deprecating old man named Tom who said they "can't fix ugly" into a confident, uplifting happier individual. The show just offers all the feels for when you need a good ugly cry or a feel-good moment.

3. Johnathan's Sassy Phrases

Not only does Johnathan give the "heroes" life-changing haircuts and beauty tips, but he also defiantly adds extra sass and entertainment to the show. He's even provided us with his amazing sayings like, "can you believe?!" "strugs to func" and "yas queen." Also, the way that he calls everything and everyone "her" is just so cute and somehow uplifting.

4. Antoni's Amazing Food Tips

Not only is Antoni a grade A cutie, but he is also an amazing chef. The food tips he gives during the episodes are truly Pinterest-worthy and are recipes that any non-chef could follow.

5. Karamo's Inspiring Life Advice

With Karamo's advice, someone with the lowest self-esteem could become a confident and self-loving individual. He truly makes everyone feel more confident and helps everyone see what makes them special and unique. He also gives the best life talks and advice!

6. Tan's Style and Fashion Sense

Tan has one of the best styles I've ever seen. He has an amazing fashion sense and knows how to style each individual person to bring out their uniqueness and personality.

7. Bobby's Extreme Home Makeovers

I love a good home makeover, and Bobby's makeovers definitely do not disappoint. He adds a touch of class and style to every space he touches. Also, he definitely has the biggest job out of the entire Fab Five, he has to transform an entire house!

8. The Fab Five's Friendship

The friendship and supportiveness between the guys are truly refreshing in an age where catfights and drama are a frequent occurrence on reality T.V. The way they all support and love each other is quite uplifting and adds a joyous undertone to the show!

9. They Still Stay in Touch With the "Heroes" They Makeover

The guys regularly stay in touch with the heroes they makeover on their show. Johnathan regularly posts pictures of how their makeover guys are doing now. Also, Antoni admitted to GQ Magazine, that Neal, from the second episode, still regularly texts him on a daily basis with photos of his cooking creations. So, this shows the fab five truly cares about their makeover recipients.

10. They Tackle Difficult and Emotional Topics

Within the first couple of episodes, they tackled several situations dealing with racism, homophobia, and police brutality. What made it even better was that they truly handled these topics with open minds and open hearts. One of the most heartwarming scenes is when Karamo and Cory Waldrop, the makeover recipient, have a heart to heart on police brutality. Karamo and Cory both learn new things about the other's perspective, and it truly shows the importance of understanding the other side of the story in today's political climate.

11. It's Light-Hearted and Entertaining!

With all the intense and drama-filled shows out there now of days, it's so important to have a feel-good, light-hearted show that you can just sit back and enjoy. The show brings nothing but positive energy, and it will definitely brighten your day!

So, hopefully, these reasons have inspired you to start watching Queer Eye on Netflix! It truly is an uplifting show and it is something that everyone should have a chance to watch, at least once!

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
