9 Reasons To Watch 'That '70s Show'

College is hard, and every once in a while, we need a distraction from the bookwork and exams. Netflix is the perfect escape, but some of the shows can be pretty intense. In the midst of midterms, you need a series that can make you laugh until you cry as you mindlessly watch it. That ’70s Show does just that, and you’ll even grow attached to the characters as the seasons go by. With their unique personalities and unfortunate mishaps, you will never want to stop watching.

1. Eric Forman

The definition of awkward, but you gotta love him. He constantly worries about the wrath of his dad, while trying to win over and keep the girl of his dreams. If you are constantly “burned” by your friend group, then you will definitely be able to relate to Eric.

2. Jackie Burkhart

You know that person in your group of friends who no one really likes? Well, that’s her. Played by Mila Kunis, Jackie is incredibly spoiled, condescending, and controlling over her men. Her crazy antics are almost hilarious, and by the end of the first season, you’ll want her to stay around. After all, she is fabulous!

3. Michael Kelso

Oh Kelso…he has the heart of child and also, the brain. He loves puppies and “doing it.” Ashton Kutcher plays this character, so you won’t mind staring at him during each episode.

4. Steven Hyde

Everyone needs a friend who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. He has an incredibly dry and sarcastic sense of humor, which is only reinforced by his delinquency and mindset that the government is corrupt. He has spent his fair share of time in “the circle” and is often the supplier for the group.

5. Donna Pinciotti

“Hot Donna” or “Lumberjack” according to Jackie. She’s more masculine than Eric, but all the boys want her. She’s a feminist in the 70's, but still likes to have a good time.

6. Fez

The foreign exchange student who has “needs.” The group takes him in under their wing and puts up with his cluelessness about how to act in this country. You never learn where he is originally from, but it sounds like a scary place.

7. Kitty Forman

The sweetest little lady until she starts to go through menopause. She is Eric’s mom and never wants to see him grow up.

8. Red Forman

He has the classic line of, “I’m going to put my foot into your ass” and phrases it in multiple ways. Red is your typical angry dad, as he his always yelling at everybody; however, his soft side comes through during certain moments of the show, especially if they involve beer.

9. Leo

Hey man…come on man! Woah man…

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

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.

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.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
