13 Reasons Why 'Sweet Magnolias' — And Serenity, SC — Should Be Your Next Netflix Vacation
Netflix

If you have already binged season one of the Netflix original "Sweet Magnolias," then you probably can't stop thinking about what might happen in season two.

For those of you who haven't started season one yet, stop what you're doing immediately and get your life back on track.

Here are 13 reasons why everyone should make "Sweet Magnolias" their next Netflix binge-watch:

1. Maddie and Coach.

They are not a perfect couple. But she's cute. And he's hot. And he coaches her son.

2. Margarita Nights.

Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue — the three main characters of the show — "pour it out" with Margarita Night in what seems like an every night occasion, and it is truly something to aspire to.

3. The small-town charm.

It will make you want to move to a small town and open up a cafe.

4. The food.

Dana Sue might be the most annoying TV character in quite some time, but you'll definitely want to make a reservation at her restaurant "Sullivan's" to grab some catfish and an old fashioned.

5. The drama.

There is a LOT of it.

6. Seeing strong businesswomen do their thing.

Find me three men who can open up a spa in a mansion that fast on a whim. I'll wait.

7. Actual teens playing teens.

If you watched "Outer Banks," you couldn't help but notice 27-year-olds playing 17-year-olds. In "Sweet Magnolias," kids actually play kids — and it's refreshing.

8. The diversity of the cast.

You love to see it.

9. Jamie Lynn Spears as "Noreen."

What a THROWBACK. And she's pregnant. And terrible at acting. It's awesome.

10. Chris 'Oz' from "American Pie" as "Bill Townsend."

And he plays a doctor who cheated on his wife, impregnated his nurse, and all with the worst fake accent I've ever heard.

11. It might be the only baseball you get to watch this summer.

How bout those New York Yankees Serenity Bulldogs???

12. Everyone on the show has problems.

And YOU get to watch them deal with them. It's weirdly therapeutic.

13. The finale and its ending will leave you speechless.

WTF JUST HAPPENED???

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
