*Spoiler article* If you didn't finish the series then I wouldn't recommend reading this article until you do. Fair warning! All those willing to take the risk, don't say I didn't warn you.

Ok, if you're like me then you probably binge-watched "Stranger Things" in a day. I am completely in love with season two. In my opinion, it is so much better than season one.

The creators really listened to a lot of requests we had, including the main, Barb. In this season, a lot of the characters really grew; but not as much as the very handsome jock, Steve Harrington.

When we first meet Steve, he is the cocky jock who's mean to Jonathan, even though he deserved it and just wanted to get in Nancy's pants. But, this season we see another side of Steve.

1. Going with Nancy to see Barb's parents.

The old Steve probably would've told Nancy not to go or to just go alone, but nope. He went with her.

2. His feud with Billy.

We can pretty much all agree that Billy is an ass but has family issues, so you can't be 100 percent against him. Throughout all of season two, when we see Billy and Steve, Steve doesn't care what Billy does to him. But when Billy goes after Lucas, BOOM!

3. His relationship with Dustin.

Yes, he has develops a friendship with all the kids, but his real bond is with Dustin. When he and Dustin first see each other, Dustin couldn't get a hold of any of his friends, so who better to help him with Dart than Steve.

He's the first person he could find, so why not. But, throughout the season they grow closer and closer. Dustin knows he can rely on Steve. The old Steve from season one honestly wouldn't have cared about Dustin or helping him.

Sidenote: Dustin was a developing character in season one, so we really see an evolution in both characters--which is why I think they are the perfect pairing.

4. His friendship with Mike, Lucas, and Max.

As I said before, Steve developed a great friendship with the kids and it's pretty clear he would do anything for them. When Lucas was pinned against the wall by Billy, that's when Steve really stepped up. He also made sure that the kids didn't go down the hole alone to look for the ''demodogs,'' as referred by Dustin. He may have promised Nancy to make sure nothing happened to them but believes that deep down, Steve really was looking out for them.

5. Lastly, he still can use that bat.

Need I say a lot about this one? This bat has been with him since last season when he, Nancy and Jonathan defeated the first Demogorgon. The bat stayed with him and he can still hit a demodog.

All in all, Steve isn't the same asshole who only cared about himself and his popularity status. He's now a person who cares for his new friends.

So do your happy dance and let's celebrate the second season and the new and improved Steve Harrington!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.
