'Queer Eye' Is A Show That Every Single Person Should Watch, No Matter Your Sexual Orientation

I started watching "Queer Eye," when I was in a bit of a depressive funk, some pretty horrible things had been going on in my life, and I needed an escape. An escape from reality, something to transport me into a world where things were fine and happy.

Throughout the two released seasons, we see the transformation of multiple throughout the greater Atlanta area, as well as learn different techniques about how we can all improve different aspects of our lives.

First, we have Jonathan Van Ness, hair expert to the stars. Jonathan's outgoing personality is enough to bring a smile to anyone's face no matter what mood they are in. He teaches men and women of all ages different small things that they can do to maintain and upkeep their skincare and haircare routine. He works out a way to allow people to stay in budget, something that they can afford and maintain for a long period of time, as well as use to help bring out their best features and confidence in themselves.

Then, we have Bobby Berk, the interior designer we all wish to have come makeover our homes! Bobby has this natural talent to take a few important aspects of a persons life or personality and turn it into their dream room or house. His creative thought process is so unique and awe-inspiring, and just even having the ability to witness it through a screen is so cool.

Karamo Brown, culture extraordinaire, has the ability to connect and relate to every complicated friendship, relationship, or situation that anyone is in. Along with all of the Fab 5, he understands the different walks of life and difficulties that everyone faces, and has this beautiful ability to connect to anyone and everyone. He has been able to help people come out to their family, propose to their significant other, or just even improve as a general human being to better benefit themselves and the people around them.

Tan France, a tiny man with enough style and swag for a whole country. Tan has revolutionized so many wardrobes, watching him do his work only makes me want to go all innovative on my own closet. He is able to find that inner fashionista in every single person whether they are a 50-year-old man, 24-year-old guy, or even a 60-year-old woman, Tan's skills are unbelievable. His ability to work with the persons comfort zone all while expanding their closet, taps into the confidence and grace many of the people did not even know they have.

Last, but definitely not least, we have Antoni Porowski. Antoni is the food and wine expert on the show and his incredible range of cooking knowledge, ability, and skills, is unmatched. He connects people and souls through food which is one of the most common languages among us humans. Antoni has a very calming presence on the show which allows the participants to be able to connect with him on a deeper level and learn to express the best version of themselves through food.

These five men not only do they revolutionize the lives of individuals that they work on, but they also teach some of the most valuable lessons that I believe every single human being on this Earth needs to hear. They focus on spreading love to every single person they meet, interact with, or work with, and I think that is what the true beauty of this show is all about.

A quote that stuck with me from this show and one of the main reasons why I am such a fan of it:

"All human beings have a commonality. More so than anyone thinks. We're all really exactly the same. We all are born, we all grow up wanting to be loved, we all become an adult searching for love. It doesn't matter if it's gay or straight. A common thread that holds every human being together is that we wanna be loved."
(Queer Eye, Season 1: E1, Netflix U.S).

This quote is so powerful and so beautiful to me, this show brought me through some of my darkest times, and I sincerely hope that every single person takes some time out of their day to experience the world through the eyes of the Fab 5.

In the end, it is all about love.

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 have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
