5 Confession Of A Chronic DVD Hoarder

DVDs are a necessity. Many millennials that I have met in my time at college do not own many DVDs. They are more into Netflix, Acorn, Amazon Video and Hulu. But if you think of it, each of the platforms do not have all the movies you want to watch. We DVD hoarders are smart by collecting DVDs because we know which ones we love and enjoy watching all the time.

First off, do not ever diss a friend/boyfriend/girlfriend for having a ton of DVDs. We just like love to collect DVDs. I mean, you can tease us about it, but don't make it a huge deal if we walk out of Fred Meyer with a new movie every time we food shop. We either ask for them as Christmas/birthday presents or go buy them at the store, Amazon or at Goodwill (Goodwill has a great selection every week; I've found some great movies there). If we see it on sale, we nab it before it is no longer on sale.

Second, we do admit to hoarding. But seriously, what if all the viewing platforms tank, how would you watch movies or TV shows?! You would eventually come to us DVD hoarders asking for a movie to watch cause you don't have Netflix anymore. Yes, it's hoarding, but it's not an issue affecting our daily life.

Thirdly, we have them all. LITERALLY. We have comedies, rom-coms, dramas, musicals, cartoons, TV shows, foreign films, series, silent films, historical films, and action films. You name it, we have something that fits into one of those categories.

Fourthly, we are so easy to buy for. Buy us a DVD on our wish list or one that we don't have and we will love you forever. Like seriously, we don't care about jewelry. We like watching movies, so buy us a new movie for our DVD collection. Like I said, we are easy to please.

Fifthly, we'll snag DVDs from our parents, mainly for two reasons: We want to watch them, and we want to add them to our collection. We don't have a problem, guys. Seriously, we don't. *silently laughing inside*

It's great having movies at my disposal. No need to go to RedBox for a new movie cause there are tons in my racks that I haven't watched in a while. It's like seeing a totally new movie even though it's been out on DVD for years. So go watch movies with your pals that have a ton of DVDs.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
