13 Netflix Classics To Watch On Rainy Days
Netflix

Netflix has become an integral part of my rainy days. I cuddle up with my dog, burrito myself in a large blanket with a hot cup of coffee in my hands. I then proceed to binge watch movies and television shows. While there are a lot of new material on Netflix, below are classic series and movies that anyone will love.

1. Friends (1994-2004)

This ten seasoned television show tells the comedic stories of six friends in New York City. Monica, Chandler, Phoebe, Ross, Joey, and Rachel rely on each other through rough break-ups, crazy family members, and so much more.

2. The Little Rascals (1994)

The comedic film was inspired by the television series "Our Gang." It tells the story of Alfalfa and his mischievous gang navigating their way through the trials of bullies, cooties, and being in love.

3. Cheers (1982)

Set in downtown Boston, Sam, a former baseball player, and his gang meet some pretty interesting people in his bar. Together, they exchange witty banter with one another.

4. Princess Bride (1987)

Farmhand Westley must save his one true love Buttercup, after she is kidnapped by thieves and put under the clutches of an evil prince.

5. Grease (1978)

Though the new Grease just came out, John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John nail it as two high schoolers in love- much to their friends dismay.

6. West Wing (1999)

The West Wing shows the daily frustrations of democratic policy makers, struggling to better their country. They tackle the issues of war, gun control, health care, and much much more.

7. Good Will Hunting (1997)

Therapist, Sean Maguire helps unwilling young janitor, Will Hunting confront the demons of his past after a professor discovers that he is a math genius.

8. Frasier (1993)

Set in the heart of Boston, psychiatrist and hypocrite Frasier Crane gives advice over his own radio show while ignoring it in his own life creating awkward and uncomfortable moments in his personal life.

9. Hairspray (1988)

Though the 2007 film is good as well, Netflix has the 1988 Hairspray film. Young Tracy breaks open the racist social norms of Baltimore when she is casted on a television show after she wins the city over with her bubbly personality.

10. Gilmore Girls (2000)

This television tells the adventures of single mom, Lorelai and her smart and gifted daughter, Rory.

11. Forrest Gump (1994)

Forrest Gump tells the story of a friendly and simplistic man navigating through the historical events of the 1960s and 1970s.

12. Rent (2005)

Set in the 1990s, this film tackles the issues of sexuality, drugs, and AIDS in the United States. In the heart of New York City, eight friends battle the troubles of poverty, drugs, and AIDS through music.

13. To Kill A Mocking Bird (1962)

Based off of the Pulitzer prize award-winning book by Harper Lee, this movie tackles the issues of racism in the sixties. Scout Finch's world is turned upside down when her father Atticus decides to defend an innocent black man against bogus accusations of rape. The film may focus on the white characters, but the film shows a great amount about the transformation of the black identity, in film.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
