Bill Nye the Science Guy is on Neflix

"Bill Nye the Science Guy" premiered on September 10, 1993 with its first episode, Flight. This show would go on to inspire a generation of quirky and imaginative children, many of whom are just now starting to graduate and move out into the real world. The Science Guy set the bar high for educational and entertaining children’s programing, and became a household hero for many families. Bill was such a great guy for young scholars to look up to.

Recently, we have seen a big resurgence of Bill Nye, with his appearance on "Dancing With The Stars," his presence in many high profile debates on topics like global warming and evolution, and appearances on talk shows. Now, we can tap into the lessons that Bill Nye bestowed upon us in the 90's on Netflix. That’s right, Netflix now has a sizable chunk of episodes from Bill Nye’s 19-time Emmy winning television show "Bill Nye the Science Guy." So dust off your old microscope and gather up your test tubes, because Bill is back!

Social media and internet fandoms were all abuzz with this nostalgic rerelease of the TV show. But why should you care? Why is this important to you?

For starters, a lot of people our age could use some refreshers. Forget what temperature water freezes at? Bill's got your back. Can't remember the name of those islands that Charles Darwin explored when developing his theory of natural selection? The Science Guy has you covered.

Bill also showed us a lot of experiments that are not only educational, but just plain cool. Crushing a soda can with ice water is still just as fun as ever, and also teaches you about how temperature influences matter. Along with these experiments, the gems of knowledge that may have been buried by years of schooling are great to bring back up. Be empowered with the knowledge that the earth is 93 million miles from the sun, or that the dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years go.

Bill Nye is also a fashion icon, with his signature bow tie. With the revival of his television series, perhaps the fashion landscape will again be influenced by Bill's classic lab coat-bow tie ensemble.

If nothing else, Bill's comeback will provide us with a chance to relive our childhood. Whether you were a microscope-toting, safety-goggle-rocking enthusiast or just another 90's kid that only watched him when the teacher played an episode in class, the return of the Bill Nye Science Guy is something we can all celebrate.

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!

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.
