5 Reasons You Need To See "The Fundamentals Of Caring"

There are many movies available on Netflix right now. From stand up to horror, it''s obvious that the genres on Netflix are almost endless. Out of all of these movies, there is one that everyone needs to see. Here is a list of reasons why you need to watch "The Fundamentals of Caring" on Netflix right now!

1. It's funny

"Bite of the James! Hm? Isn't that what they say in your country? Little bite of the James shall we!"

"The Fundamentals of Caring" is one of the funniest movies I have seen in a very long time. Trevor (Craig Roberts), the wise cracking British teen with cerebral palsy, and Ben (Paul Rudd), the smart ass caregiver, are a lovable duo that had me cracking up throughout the movie. At first, I was uncomfortable with the both of them making jokes about Trevor's condition, but I soon began to appreciate the dark humor.

2. It encourages adventure

Dot: Trev, what would you do in that situation?

Trevor: Oh, I'd most likely shit myself.

Ben: And I most likely would have to clean it up.

For fun, Trevor will sit in front of the TV all day watching a travel TV show, marking down all the places he wants to visit, even though he knows that if he leaves his house and goes off schedule it could be the end of him. Ben decides he will bring Trevor to all these places even if that means risking Trevor's life. The movie takes you on this incredible road trip with the two of them to the world's largest cow and hole, all the while picking up random people at a diner and on the side of the road.

3. Peaches

One word says it all! In my opinion, Peaches (Megan Ferguson) is the most adorable character in the whole movie! We meet Peaches as she is stranded on the side of the road on her way to visit her mom before she gives birth. Once you get past her mysterious stare, you will come to love her awkwardness, and accept that she's just a sweetheart that cares about everyone.

4. Who doesn't love Selina Gomez and Pauot only that but, Dot is actually kind of a bad ass in the movie. She runs away from her dad at home and for some reason thinks it's okay to go on a road trip with two random guys. Paul Rudd, behind all the jokes he makes, sadly has a tragic back story in this film giving you more respect for his character.

5. This ones a tear jerker

Like I said in my last reason, Paul Rudd's character, Ben, has a tragic back story in the film leaving you in tears when the full story is finally revealed. Not only that but, the movie constantly reminds you about Trevor's condition and that any moment something could go terrible wrong. This movie is a reminder that life is short and that you should go out and live it without letting anything stop you, whether it be your dad, a broken down car, a wheel chair, or a rough past.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
