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.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
