Since the new season of "Stranger Things" has been out, there have been many new and interesting facts revealed about the "Stranger Things" plot! The producers are very creative; let’s see if you knew or noticed these 19 facts about "Stranger Things!"

1. It was created by twin brothers Matt and Ross Duffer.

2. The show was originally called Montauk.

It took place on Long Island in 1980, but the Duffers had to change the show's location when they realized it would be too difficult to shoot there in winter.

3. The Montauk Project inspired the show.

It was about a government experiment that took place in the 80s and involved kidnapping children from Long Island to experiment on them. Read more about it here.

4. The Upside Down’s real name is called the Nether.

But they got so used to calling it the "Upside Down" on set, it stuck, Millie Bobby Brown revealed in "Beyond Stranger Things." The same thing happened with the Shadow Monster in Season 2; it's supposed to be called the Mind Flayer.

5. Joyce’s Hairstyle was inspired by Meryl Streep in Silkwood.

6. Steve was supposed to be “the biggest douchebag on the planet.”

Joe Keery was much more likable and charming than they all envisioned, so they changed his character a bit.

7. Millie Bobby Brown once showed up to set covered in glitter.

It held up production for a half hour.

8. They used 1,200 pounds of Epsom salts to get Brown to float in a kiddie pool.

9. An average of 8.8 million people watched "Stranger Things 2" in its first three days on Netflix. And, 361,000 people watched all nine episodes in its first 24 hours.

10. Dacre Montgomery danced shirtless to “Come on Eileen” in his audition tape for Stranger Things 2.

11. Bob was supposed to die much earlier in Season 2.

But they liked him so much they kept him alive until episode 8 instead. And originally, Will was supposed to kill Bob!

12. Hopper's trailer reportedly only cost the art department $1 to buy.

13. The series was shot on a digital cinema camera, but to achieve the vintage look, they added a layer of scanned film grain to the coloring process.

14. The Duffer brothers have a 30-page document that maps what the Upside Down is and the nature of the monster.

15. The radio channel Hop uses to communicate with Eleven with is channel 11.

16. Mrs. Wheeler's romance novel cover was apparently photoshopped to look like Billy.

17. Speaking of Season 1, the scene where the kids are playing Dungeons & Dragons in the very first episode lines up creepily perfect with the Demogorgon scene in Episode 8.

18. The word "evil" is clearly written on the bathroom stall when Dustin finally finds Dart.

19. The book Hop reads to Eleven in Season 2 is Anne of Green Gables, which is the same book he read to his daughter Sara in Season 1.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself.

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
