The Nostalgia Of Full House

I was incredibly excited for Fuller House to air on Netflix. I cleared my schedule and made it my priority to watch it over the weekend. It was everything I had hoped for and more. As a kid I had loved Full House and I was excited to see the cast take on new (and modern) problems. I will admit I cried like a baby during the first episode- and again when they played DJ and Steve's first "I love You." It wasn't a sad cry, it was a refreshing cry. Here is a list of 12 nostalgia inducing moments from the show.

1. Realizing Nicky and Alex were in college- like you.

Jesse and Becky's twins were no longer the little trouble makers they once were. Now they were college bound, surfing, future taco truck owners. They made frequent references to asking their parents for money and the cost of college.

2. "How rude"

This was Stephanie Tanner's most famous lines- and one of the many catch-phrases from the show. It's return was highly anticipated.


3. We find Steve in the fridge

DJ's long term boyfriend, Steve spent a lot of time at the Tanner house. One of Steve's favorite locations was the refrigerator, scanning for whatever food he could find- it is even where they showed him during the opening credits. 20 Twenty years later we find him raiding the same location.



4. Comet Jr. Jr.

How could they forget the loyal family dog? A spin-off series without our favorite furry friend would not be complete. They keep his legacy alive with Max's dog Cosmo.

5. The group hug

Another signature of Full House was the hugging. DJ tells her son Jackson, "We used to hug it out every day in the '80s". Which was very true. Was it really an episode of Full House without hugging it out after a life lesson.


6. Kimmy Gibbler's (unannounced) entrance

Next door neighbor and best friend Kimmy Gibbler let herself into the Tanner house unannounced. 20 years later and she still has not learned how to knock.


Alright- maybe there was the occasional knock.

7. The Flintstone's lullaby

This is when the waterworks really kicked in for me. DJ's kids Jackson, Max, and Tommy are the same ages that DJ, Stephanie, and Michelle were during the show. The new family worked together to calm Tommy while the screen split to show the original cast calming Michelle.


8. Mr. Woodchuck

Of course our favorite puppet had to make a return, but he is still pretty creepy.


9. Cut. It. Out.

Another highly anticipated catch phrase. Nothing says 90's like hand gestures.


10. The cheesey background music

In order for the full dramatic effect of what ever life lesson that episode of Full House focused on, there had to be some sort of violin music playing. Again this is another thing that is referenced in Fuller House. "We used to hug it out every day in the '80s; sometimes it was so sweet, you could hear violin music."

11. The theme song and Intro

"Whatever happened to predictability..." well nothing because the Fuller House theme song is still the same. The opening credits for Fuller House also feature clips from the original full house intro.


12. Forever

A hit song in Japan is still a classic today. Uncle Jesse sining this song to Becky definitely made us all swoon.

And I checked- this song is not available on iTunes.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
