9 Reasons You Should Binge-Watch "One Day At A Time"
Reality TV World

Netflix original series are outstanding, and everyone knows it. But Netflix has outdone itself with this new show. "One Day at a Time" follows the life of a Cuban family. A single, veteran mom raising two kids with her own mom living under the same roof. This show has made me cry, laugh, and occasionally sob. I can honestly say I've never seen a show bring to light so many issues we currently face in our society and do it well too. Not to mention the show features an incredibly diverse and kick-ass cast. If you're still not convinced I hope these reasons can convince you to spend your next weekend binge-watching this show.

1. It deals with treating mental illnesses in a positive light.

2. It questions and it embraces religion, showing atheists and Christians can co-exist under the same roof.

3. It brings to life the reality of living as an immigrant in the US.

4. These ladies are all badass feminists.

5. Positive LGBT+ representation.

6. These characters break gender norms.

7. It's hilarious.

8. Positive latino representation.

9. This...

As you can see this show has tons of representation, and positively tackles many issues other shows are too afraid and narrow-minded to address. It's a feel-good show that'll give you everything all your other TV shows lack, and it should definitly be the next show you decide to watch.

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.
