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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
