5 Confession Of A Chronic DVD Hoarder
blmurch / Foter

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
