If you have Netflix, spend time on Tumblr, or if you just generally don't live under a rock, you have probably, at one point or another, at least heard of the Netflix original show, "Stranger Things". The show, which was released in July, combines horror, supernatural, and mystery. Though it is set in the 1980s and makes use of a vintage title screen, "Stranger Things" is horrifying, addicting, and realistic -- if you believe governmental conspiracies and that supernatural creatures exist, that is.

With only one season of the show released, viewers are left with hundreds of questions that they hope are answered in season two. So, if you've seen "Stranger Things" and loved it, then you probably understand. If you haven't seen it, what are you waiting for?

1. Who is Eleven?

Is she really Terry Ives' daughter?

2. How did Eleven get her powers?

Sure, Terry was an experiment herself, but how was she the only one to have such a powerful child? And what drugs did she take to produce Eleven?

3. Where did the monster come from?

What is it? What is its origin story? Was there only one of them, or are there more in the Upside Down?

4. What is the Upside Down?

Can you only get there through the portals? Is the monster the only thing that lives there?

5. What do Mike and Nancy's parents think happen?

Last they heard, Eleven was dangerous and the entire "U.S. Government" was on the search for their son. Are they glad that Eleven is dead? Did Mike and Nancy set them straight and tell them all about the Upside Down and the monster? Or do they only know the absolute basics?

6. Did Terry Ives ever get better?

Her story line was brief and unsatisfying. Would meeting Eleven bring her back, if Eleven were her long lost daughter? Could Eleven do anything to help?

7. Does Eleven have any more powers?

She can kill people with her mind and reach to the Upside Down, among a slew of other psychokinetic gifts. But they all physically tire her. Will she ever grow and be able to do more for longer? Can she train her mind to do more?

8. Why didn't Nancy and Jonathan end up together?

Sure, Steve got better. He saved them and apologized for being a jerk. Yet Nancy and Steve never really had the chemistry that Nancy and Jonathan did. What a bummer.

9. How is Steve alright?

He walked in at the wrong time and got attacked by the monster, but he totally took it in stride. Why doesn't he have a million questions?

10. What happened to Eleven?

Is she still alive? Is she all alone in the Upside Down? And what does Chief Hopper know about her situation?

11. Speaking of Hopper, what happened when he was taken away in the government car?

Was he paid for his silence? Did he learn more about Eleven from them? Was he able to speak to her?

12. Is Will actually alright?

He went to the Upside Down, he was nearly sucked lifeless by the monster, and now he's coughing up pieces of it. Is he really alright? Does he have some weird connection to the monster now?

13. And, most importantly, why does no one care about Barbara?

What do her parents think? Why doesn't Nancy, her best friend, care about Barbara's death? #JusticeForBarbara

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?

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
