Eleven Reasons Why 'Stranger Things' Is Driving Me Out Of My Mind (In The Best Way Possible)

I ignored the hype for two weeks, and then finished the season in two days. Yes, "Stranger Things" has taken over the world, and the hypothetical Upside Down– and, well, rightfully so. I'm not usually the sci-fi type, but I'm so happy I jumped on this train. It is brilliant. There are a few things that I can't stop thinking about– whether they make me mad, cry tears of joy, or make me feel like I'm crazy– that I just have to share:

1. This kid.

Dustin Henderson aka Gaten Matarazzo aka the most adorable creature on Earth. How can you help but smile when he comes on screen? Have you seen his instagram (https://www.instagram.com/gatenm123/?hl=en)?! He has a HEART. OF. GOLD.

Random bonus: I found this picture of Gaten and Olivia Newton-John, and, I don’t know, I just feel like my life is complete.

2. Barb.


You're not, Barb.

Okay, about Barb. I get it– she deserved more. I mean her own mother didn’t even care that she was missing for, like, years. I truly hope she gets justice in season two, but you have to agree– She DOES need to chill.

3. I love Eleven and Mike's relationship, in the non-creepiest way.

"Promise" is the new "Okay," from "The Fault In Our Stars."

UGHHHHHKJEHFVKH

I need a boyfriend.

4. I'm turnt for the amount of "Stranger Things" Halloween costumes that are bound to happen this year.

Y'all better start creating now: The competition is already fierce.

5. ... and then, Christmas will come along, when I'll think the blinking lights on the tree are actually my loved ones talking to me.

"WINONA WAS RIGHT. THE WHOLE TIME," is what will run through my head as the nerves set in.

6. The 80s-tastic world that the story takes place in.

Bowl cuts. Period.

7. Baby Holly.

Honestly, there hasn’t been enough hype over Baby Holly. The twins that play her, Anniston and Tinsley Price, need to become this generation’s Mary-Kate and Ashley– who come back for the reunion season.

8. Kellogg's Eggo Waffles, however, are greatly appreciated, and I appreciate that.

9. Speaking of food...

... I bet Benny Hammond’s burgers were really good before he was murdered, protecting Eleven. While y’all are complaining about Barb, you’re ignoring the true unsung hero of the story. #RIPBenny.

10. The insane amount of new faces on this show makes this theater major really, really happy.

THERE IS HOPE.

11. F*CKING ELEVEN

Really original– I know– but DUH. I'm obsessed. She's basically the epitome of what you wanted to be when your 4th grade teacher asked you what superpower you would have, if you could– and she has them all!!

Plus, Millie Bobby Brown, the actress who plays her, is 12 years old, and already so much better at life than I am. But, I don't even care: She's brilliant, and I can't wait to see her– what is sure to be–incredible career unfold.

Bless this show, and the people who gave the okay for a second season.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
