Netflix and Their Throwback
Netflix

Netflix has brought back the golden days! There are no words to describe how emotional it is to see some of the shows and movies of my child on Netflix.

To be able to share with the younger generation a part of what entertainment used to be like before the sad excuse for television shows they have today. It's hard to realize that even though we are in our early 20s, today's kids know a drastically different world from the one we did growing up. After all we are the last batch to come out of the 90s.

Kids nowadays will never know who Lizzie Mcguire is, or the emotional roller-coaster that was Hanna Montana, that is until now.

With the recent additions to Netflix, that include a lot of pre-2010 shows and movies, it opens the doors to the opportunity of building a connection with the younger generation through good old family entertainment. Gathering around the TV, the way we used to when we were younger, and tuning into some of the iconic shows and movies, almost takes you back to when you were young and care-free.

When the only thing you had to worry about was whether or not Lizzie Mcguire was going to make it out of what ever shenanigans she and her faithful friends got themselves into.

Or making sure Miley Stewart kept her secret identity of Hanna Montana hidden from those constantly trying to expose her. Not to mention the movies that really take you back, like 10 Things I Hate About You, The Hanna Montana Movie, A Cinderella Story (with Hillary Duffy, the original) and The Pacifier.

All of which take you back to a time when Radio Disney actually played good music, and there was a relativity between the actors and the audience. When ever you saw these programs or movie you always had this overwhelming sense of hope and joy, something that you just don't get from today's entertainment.

With Netflix bringing back all of these shows and movies they are single handedly making it possible to close that gap between adults and kids of today.

By that I mean, people born before 1997 have something to talk about with people born after 2000. The "inbetweeners" often times either lean toward the earlier generation or the younger, depending on whether they have older siblings that taught them the appreciation for these shows and movies.

On behalf of a 90s baby who actually grew up watching these shows and movies, thank you Netflix for giving us something to talk about with the children in our life that, up until know, we had nothing to relate to much less in common with.

You are what is making us come together one show or movie at a time.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
