Do you enjoy science fiction from the 1980s? Mysterious children, who have dangerous powers? Or even the idea that the government is hiding something from us? Well the newest Netflix series, "Stranger Things" has become the newest sensation in social media that has all of that and so much more! While "Stranger Things" have been streaming on Netflix for about a month, fans have been poured out by the millions each week as the show has easily become a part of pop culture. In fact, you can say that some fans can be a little more obsessed and there are a few signs that someone is obsessed with "Stranger Things."

1. Dragging your friends into the series

The best way to start a show? Dungeons & Dragons as shown here!

Just like most shows on Netflix, fans of "Stranger Things" would often recommend the show to their friends after watching one episode, it's just that good! Fans casually mention the basis of the story in any given conversation, or what I do is explain the plot anytime someone walks into me binge watching "Stranger Things."

2. Stocking up on Eggo waffles

"Stranger Things" is covered with shout outs to iconic products of the 1980s including these lovely toaster waffles. As the lovable Eleven adapts to her new surroundings, it's safe to say that she has the right idea to raid all the Eggo waffles. I'm not sure if my roommates would like the boxes of Eggos in the freezer.

3. Stocking up on chocolate pudding

"Stranger Things" helps fans channel their childhood by stocking up on both Eggos and chocolate pudding. Not only do the main characters easily relate to the audience, but let's not forget that these two food items are actually really cheap.

4. Becoming suspicious of flickering lights

Ever since I finished the show, (after binge watching the first season in one day), I've been keeping an eye on every single light that is in my room. As all fans of "Stranger Things" would know, flickering lights can mean danger to either yourself or someone else! I'm still working on making a wall alphabet without getting fined for damage.

5. Cutting your hair like Eleven


It's safe to say that Eleven is all of us when it comes to fries.

There's something about Eleven that draws fans to make her one of the most lovable characters in "Stranger Things." It could be her innocence as she learned about what friends are, or how deeply she cared for Mike, Lucas, and Dustin. Since a lot of people love Eleven, it would take a lot of dedication to go out and have your head like hers, as it could give you super powers.


In the end, whether you bought all the Christmas lights at the nearest Wal-Mart or jammed to "Africa" by Toto, "Stranger Things" has made its way into the hearts of millions of viewers home with its eye-catching sci-fi mystery...with a little element of shock as the series progresses.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
