Why Fuller House Deserves A Chance

Whatever happened to predictability?

Why Fuller House Deserves A Chance
People

Ever since February 26th, everyone hopped onto Netflix to get the first glimpse of the new series, Fuller House. This original series contains 13 episodes, and it was deemed successful enough to be renewed for a second season! However, the show seems to be receiving loads of negative reviews (even from Full House extreme fans!)

I decided to let the hate from Fuller House settle down before writing my review because it seems I hold an unpopular opinion. I believe Fuller House was well made for the production crew and cast it had to work with. It was humorous with all the inside jokes from the old sitcom and shade thrown at non-returning cast members (cough cough the Olsen twins). It was well made, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Did I think it was better than the original? Of course not. Full House was the epitome of 90’s family friendly sitcom. It faced hardships and solved the problem with a hug and five minutes of the episode to spare for laughter and more hugging. That’s what people in the 90's wanted from their television: some good ol’ fashioned problem solving.

Personally, Fuller House was so great because it brought me back to that time in my childhood when I was obsessed with it. I didn’t necessarily like the show because of its performers and storylines, but rather because of the nostalgic feelings it brought to me. It reminded me of my youth when I would run home from the bus stop, grab a Fruit Roll-Up and sit in front of the TV to see what shenanigans the Tanners got themselves into that day. It was about the memories the show held.

Now, I understand people who don’t like Fuller House weren’t even fans of the original Full House. That’s why I’m confused with all the negative responses. If you didn’t enjoy the original, why would you bother watching 13 episodes of a show you knew would be extremely similar? The trailer showed that there’d be a strict parent, a cool relative, and a goofy best friend that all join forces and live together to raise some kids. It’s an exact replica of the original show with some old jokes but updated technology and storylines. I don’t know what these hate watchers were expecting, but the trailer made it clear it was the same show.

If you haven’t watched Fuller House yet, I do recommend it if you were a fan of the original show. If you don’t like the show, you’ll at least get that feeling of childhood and a possible craving for fruit snacks. It’ll definitely be worth the watch!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
