4 Reasons Danny Phantom Should Be Rewatched Again And Again

"He's here to fight for me and you!"

There were several shows from my childhood that I loved and watched over and over and most of those shows are still mentioned semi-regularly today. However, one of the shows that I loved that hasn’t gotten as much attention is "Danny Phantom." In fact, I have friends who haven’t even heard of the show (the tragedy!). So, here are just a few of the many reasons '"Danny Phantom" is worth watching over and over again.

1. The theme song

I know a lot of shows get praised for their catchy theme songs that get remembered years after you stop watching the show (Out of the Box anyone?) but the one from "Danny Phantom" has to be mentioned. It has the perfect amount of exposition and explanation while also being so catchy. Beware if you listen because it will stay stuck in your head for longer than you’d like

2. His parents

Danny may be the main character, but the show would not be the same without his parents. They are extremely smart scientists and certified ghost hunters yet, to quote my sister, “are dumb as rocks cause they can’t even tell that their own son is a ghost.” This leads to increasingly ridiculous and also hilarious comments and actions that you really have to see to believe.

3. The jokes and insults

The jokes and insults range from savage to face-palmingly funny, but throughout it all, they sure as heck keep you entertained. Even though the show is several years old by now, I still find the jokes funny and the insults crushing. Honestly, I’d love to have Sam’s quick wit even now.

4. Did I mention he's part ghost?!

In a world full of superheroes and kick butt fighters, is there still room for a character like Danny Phantom to be loved? Definitely. He may do similar things to those other action stars, but there aren’t many characters that become ghosts! It is still easy to relate to Danny and, once again, he is part ghost. Who wouldn’t want to watch that?

Bonus: "Danny Phantom" is on Hulu, so drop whatever you’re doing and head there to watch all the seasons!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

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

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."
