'Queer Eye' Is The Best Show In 2018, And It's What The World Has Needed
Netflix

Netflix's new show "Queer Eye" just came out a month ago, and since then it has shown us how important and relatable some reality shows can actually be. It is not your typical you-need-to-change-your-outfit-to-feel-better makeover show but it takes time to show the viewers who you are is important and how you present yourself to the world shows how you will be treated. Queer Eye is jam-packed, full to the brim of advice, especially for your emotional well-being.

So many people are talking about the rebooted makeover show, where a "Fab Five" sort another's guy's life out in a frankly impossible three days. The Fab Five spent an equal amount of time and effort working on each guy's emotional well-being, rather than just redoing his outfits and his house. So many makeover shows give the impression that looking good and having a nice house equate to being happy and feeling good, but Queer Eye shows you that is just the beginning.

Most makeover shows focus on that person's negatives and expand on them but the Fab Five always find positives about the guy and expand on that. Queer Eye shows that you are amazing just the way you are. It is less about changing who you are and more about nurturing what you already have.

This show brings out advice for the participant but also for the viewers. After watching it, it makes you feel that you need to stop neglecting your emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. They also focus on body positivity, with special attention given to the fact that the world won't open up unless you let it by opening yourself up.

It is a show that deconstructs toxic masculinity and shows how opening up and talking about your emotions is not a weakness. And, of course, it is a show that reminds you that it is never too late to change the things about yourself that you are unhappy with.

Queer Eye is a wholesome, lovely show that is extremely good for your mental health and you have to watch it if you are in the mood for people just being genuinely really fucking lovely to each other.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
