"Damn, we all still look good!" - Uncle Jesse

Fuller House Premires on Netflix

Finally, February 26th, the day 90's kids have been waiting for for months. 29 years later and we were finally able to get a glimpse inside the Tanner Family household once again. Growing up this was a show that my sister and I watching religiously. We sat for hours watching it on television, spent car rides watching all seven season of the original series when it came out on DVD, and now snapchat each other videos of our favorite scenes late at night when its on Nick-at-Nite. I'm always a little weary of television show remakes, because some never turn out to be the same. Fuller House did not disappoint.

Nostalgia really set in when the opening credits of Fuller House filled my computer screen. The original opening credits from the show's pilot episode from 1989 popped up giving us a cute reminder of Baby Michelle's adorable disposition. The show then pans to the kitchen with only a few modern changes from the original set making the blast from the past a little more real. One by one the characters come into the scene making the excitement all more real.

Roll the actual opening credits for Fuller House. Each cast member acts out their opening credit scenes in modern time. The producers really did this one right. It was like a time machine transported the original cast to 2016. I couldn't have set the mood any better.

Now for the cast members. The antics from the early 90's were still prevalent with each character's attitude. Hilarious comedy lines from Joey, Uncle Jesse's sarcastic humor, and Kimmy Gibler's obnoxious behavior were sentimental reminders of why we fell in love with this wholesome family. The new additions to the show did not disappoint either. DJ's adorable boys gave the show a new energy that fit right in with the rest of the cast. The addition of Kimmy's daughter, Romona, and her interaction with DJ's boys reminded me of watching the Tanner sisters grow up in the same house.

As for the elephant in the room, as expected, Michelle Tanner did not make an appearance on the episode. But if you saw the first episode, the cast makes a hilarious dig at the Olsen twins that was laughable to anyone.

The episode ending paid tribute to John Stamos, Bob Saget, and Dave Coulier's mothers who all sadly passed away in recent years. Below the dedication read "(they would have loved this)". Indeed they would have. This modern remake of a classic family television show is funny and entertaining in it's own special way. It is difficult to stack up to the original show that set the bar very high, but by no means did it disappoint.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
