Eleven. Demogorgon. Eggo Waffles.
If these words spark interest rather than confusion, you may be a fan of the Netflix original, Stranger Things. The incredible eight episodes of this series have become a hit amongst many! There are so many aspects of the show that keep viewers on their toes.
Now while the suspense is thrilling, there is also a bit of comic relief thrown in to allow people who get scared easily (like myself) time to pry their hands away from their eyes. And more often than not, this comic relief is supplied by Dustin Henderson. I have to say, this curly haired fella is quite the relatable character. Here are just a few examples of how Dustin Henderson represents the crazy life of a college student.
When your friend drives you to the store and you "accidentally" end up in the junk food aisle.
When you walk into class late and everyone is staring at you.
When the crosswalk is clearly allowing pedestrians to cross, but a car still comes swerving around the corner.
When you make eye contact with people as you stare out your window.
When you haven't tried every Cookout milkshake, but your friend won't go with you at 1:00 am.
When you walk into class and someone is sitting in your spot, so you kindly ask them to move.
When you hear about study abroad programs and get overly excited to experience new cultures.
When you have nothing to eat so you grab your roommate's leftovers...and they catch you.
When your friend asks you to study now for a test that is next week.
When you push aside your homework for just one Netflix episode and suddenly it's 3:00 am.
We all love Barb, and even though "you're an idiot, Steve Harrington"...we still love you too, but I think Dustin takes the cake! He is witty and also very caring. He just darn well keeps the gang together throughout the show!
So whether you have just gotten on the bandwagon or you're a longtime fan, we are all sad that season two has not come yet. Hang in there friends!
