What’s not to love about a group of friends having fun in the ‘70s? I mean, besides the fact that they partake in illegal activities that include but are not limited to underage drinking, drugs, and a memorable dine and dash, they are just good (non)wholesome fun! And here is a list of reasons why everyone and their mother should watch That ‘70s Show:

1. Red Forman

He has a hard exterior, but on the inside he’s…still hard. His love language is sarcasm, and his terms of endearment often come in the form of profanity. l love watching him interact with Eric, but I’m glad he’s not my dad.

2. Kitty Forman is the TV mom that you wish your mom could be

She has an innocent mind and is oblivious to any and all shenanigans happening in her basement. She’s cute as a button, and her laugh makes me laugh.

3. You can watch the Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis love story from the beginning

Even though their characters’ relationship didn’t last on the show, they’ve made it work in real life. After an ended relationship, they are now reunited, married, and have a pretty precious baby.

4. Donna and Eric’s relationship gives you hope that true love is out there

They are the boy / girl next door relationship America was built on. Eric and Donna are best friends turned boyfriend / girlfriend turned husband / wife, which is exactly what everyone wants. It is clear that they were made for each other.

5. Fez is the foreign exchange student you always wished had gone to your high school

You have no idea what country he is from, or how he managed to stay longer than a year, or why his host family never wonders where he is, or how he gets around without a car, or really anything about him. He is the perfect little hilarious mystery.

6. Hyde’s sunglasses

The few times you see him without them is just plain weird. He is his sunglasses.

7. The cast is made up of all of the friends you wish you had had, but your parents are glad you didn’t

Fun times, fun people, bad morals.

Now stop what you are doing right now (since what you're doing is reading this article and this article is now over) and watch everyone's favorite friends (besides Friends) have '70s themed fun.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.

One Book Made Me Question Existence In Its Entirety

A book by the name of "The Stranger."

"The Stranger" by Albert Campus touches upon many heavy elements... but not in the way you expect. Although it touches upon the aspects of death and love, it also deals with a hidden philosophy similar to that of nihilism.

The story follows the short life events of Meursault, a Frenchman whose carelessness for his actions eventually ends him in jail and dependent on a jury of people to judge the ethicality of his decision and the punishment that he deserves. He eventually gets the death penalty and all throughout he is nonchalant and almost apathetic towards his situation. He finally snaps when the prison sends a priest to him to absolve him of his sins and to cajole him in confessing to the lord.
