The year is just starting but these four men have won me over.

'The Old Gays' Is My Favorite Discovery In 2019

Though this series began last year, "The Old Gays" have barely appeared on my suggestion videos.

The group is composed of four men in their 60s to 70s. Bill, Jessay, Robert and Mick show off their charming personalities wonderfully in each and every video.

Though I, like them, don't consider myself a gayby, I also found myself taken back by many of the new generation slang they had to read. RuPaul is considered gay culture due to its mainstream popularity and positive representation but I have yet to watch a single episode. Many gay terms did begin on the show, however, and made its way to nonviewers like me.

INTO has brought four strangers together with one common self-identification and has introduced them to a worldwide audience. Watching these delightful men be authentic and talk about living full happy lives in time more oppressing then today gives hope to a younger generation.

If it doesn't make you smile to watch them judge our new gay slang then watching them play Cards Against Humanity will.

"The Old Lesbian" series, also found on Intomore's channel, is humorous and heartwarming to watch.

They too try to guess new gay slang and react to the queer community, but they also have videos of coming out stories that may hit home to many viewers.

Lesbian Culture consists of listening to Lesbian Jesus (Hayley Kiyoko). A whole video was created around the singer's videos and another where "The Old Lesbians" met the "Girls Like Girls" singer.

Having these older men and women put themselves out there and representing the community as they have is wonderful.

The comment section in every video from these series are filled with coming out stories and supportive responses. "You give me hope for my future. Thank you." reads a comment from a viewer.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
