Why Everyone Needs To Watch 'Stranger Things'

Maybe a few weeks ago, I started a little new show on Netflix called "Stranger Things." I haven't been a big Netflix-er all summer because #busy, but I saw a lot of hype for this Netflix Original. I watched the first episode and really liked it... But then forgot about it. About a week ago at work, someone's change was $11 and suddenly I immediately thought of the character, Eleven. The next day, I finally watched the second episode and ended up finishing the whole series. Granted there are only eight episodes, but they are about an hour long, so that's seven hours staring at my screen.

Let me tell you about this show. It's like "X-Files" meets "The Twilight Zone" meets "Freaks & Geeks," and I love all three so this show was right up my ally.

The characters and character development are incredible. To watch these kids and adults grow on screen (emotionally because it's only over a course of maybe a week) is great to watch.

The actors are so good at what they do and I already follow most of them on Instagram because why wouldn't I? My personal favs are the boy who plays Dustin and the man who plays Steve, wink wink.

The music and costuming is amazing. I love period productions and "Stranger Things" is set in 1983, so you get the feathered hair and solid 80s jams.

The special effects are a wow factor. Being a sci-fi thriller, it's GOT to have awesome special effects.

The scene work is flawless. Every shot is a great shot. My personal favorite is the whole sequencing of Joyce and her obsession with lights. I thought the whole alphabet thing was so so cool.

The writers are killing the game without killing off characters (well... R.I.P. ****).

In conclusion, you needed to watch "Stranger Things" like, yesterday.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
