Riveting 'Riverdale'

Here's why this fan is tuning into the show.

Riveting 'Riverdale'
Twitter Photo Archie Comics tweet

I grew up reading 'Archie' comics when I was younger. I would beg my grandma to get me the comics at the grocery store. I also remember watching 'Archie's Weird Mysteries' on Saturday mornings. I specifically remember reading a four part series that was a reboot of the comic series with a new look and new bad boy who wants to stirrup trouble in Riverdale. So now it only makes sense that I'd be really excited for the new CW series 'Riverdale' to come out. They released at least three trailers for the series so far. As you may know from reading previous articles I love and watch too many shows.Even though I already have so many shows to watch I only add another if it's worth it. I feel this show is worth it, so here are my reasons why I'm planing to watch the show. This article only contains spoilers of the trailers. I haven't seen the show and am open to changes in my opinion. This article is just based off of what I think may be good reasons to watch. I do plan to try and write a follow up article after the series premieres.

1. Darkness.

Like the 'Archie' that I grew up with wasn't that dark. I just hope that the darkness doesn't become too much. Finding light in darkness can be a good thing.

2. Cole Sprouse appears... finally!


Please add more of him. I mean come on Jugghead is kind of my current spirit animal. All he wants to do is eat. I'm currently hungry, but writing this article. To be completely honest I had a huge crush on Cole Sprouse and grew up watching him in a little show called "The Suite Life of Zack & Cody".

3. The Triangle

Granted I could just be pulling this from my imagination, but Betty and Veronica have a weird love triangle going on with Archie. To be honest it seems like they're adding a teacher and student love affair to the mix, which to me isn't necessary.

4. Luke Perry

I swear I've watched many episodes of 'Beverly Hill's 90210', and Luke Perry was in it. He was a good actor in it. Luke Perry is the guy without the red hair.


5. The red hair

'Archie' is known for his red hair. I'm so pleased that they didn't change it.


6. The noir, comics, and the Cole

Cole himself says that he's a fan of the comics, so ya'll should know he's a good supporter of the show.


7. I've been binge watching 'The Vampire Diaries' slowly, and cannot help but feel that the show is similar.

Disclaimer: I'm in the first season and first few episodes.


8. The Mystery


I love a good mystery. I grew up with Nancy Drew, Archie, and Scooby Doo.


9. The CW


'Supernatural' and 'Jane the Virgin' ---- nuff said


10. The PLL connection

PLL aka 'Pretty Little Liars' started off with a death of a teen, so does this show. The show has been compared to the series.


Disclaimer: I just picked these videos, photos, and gif to add to my article. The show premiers on January 26 on the CW.

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
