10 Reasons Everyone You Know Is Watching 'Outer Banks' — Or At Least Thinking About Starting It

Netflix

By now, it is safe to declare "Outer Banks" on Netflix as THE TV Show of quarantine.

"Tiger King" got out to an early lead, but since, the Pogues and the Kooks have owned pop culture conversations while everyone has been cooped up this spring amidst a global pandemic. And if you are one of the very few people out there in the world that has not heard about "Outer Banks" and or haven't binged it yet, well...

It's time.

Here are 10 reasons everyone you know has already watched, is watching, or at the very least, thinking about starting "Outer Banks":

1. John B is such a ridiculously amazing protagonist.

Oh, and he's really good looking.

2. His friends are equally ridiculous in their own right.

And yes, they are also all really good looking, too.

3. These characters are all supposed to be 16 or 17, but the actors are all in their mid-20s.

The absurdity of this is part of the show's charm, I promise.

4. The location.

The closest thing you're getting to a real vacation this summer, sorry.

5. The cast has done a lot of press and lots of videos together during quarantine.

And it makes them even more likable.

6. Sarah Cameron and Kiara both have love stories you want to see more of.

Who will end up with who??

7. It seems like season two is a go, and that showrunners want up to FOUR OR FIVE SEASONS TOTAL.

Sign. Me. Up.

8. It's got that certain "it" factor that shows like "The OC" and "One Tree Hill" have.

OK, so it's not as good as those iconic shows, but it certainly shares some similar vibes.

9. Sarah Cameron's dad is kindaaaaa hot.

An amazing villain, too.

10. It ends on a pretty good cliff hanger.

But really, WTF will happen now?

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

StableDiffusion

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

1101

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.
