5 Reasons You Need To Binge-Watch The Circle on Netflix

When I first saw the trailer for the The Circle on Netflix, I thought it was another generic reality show filled with people whose only care is how many followers they have on social media. Oh man was I wrong.

The Circle is about a group of people who can't hear or see each other, but they can interact through 'the circle'. The goal is to become the most popular and win 100,000 dollars. But there's a lot more reasons to watch this show then just seeing who wins.

1. The Players Begin to Feel Like a Second Family!

Although each player begins the game thinking that anyone and everyone is there competition, they each grow to love and care for each other. The touching moments and caring personalities outshine in each contestant's personality. They all become so close to each other, and you can't help but fall in love with all of them.

2.The Show Acts as A Commentary On How Social Media isn't Reality

So since each of the contestants can't see or hear each other, not everyone is who they seem. Almost all the contestants acknowledge that they put themselves in a persona/character to gain popularity. There's also a short segment about the difference between people reacting to a fat girl online versus a thin girl.

3. Shooby

Shooby aka Shubham was actually not one of my favorites at the beginning. He came in with the mentality that social media is the devil, even likening it to social medusa. His strategy was to be as genuine as possible, and he slowly grew on me and all the other contestants. I guess it shows that if you're real on social media, people will like you alot more.

4. The Unique Challenges

Each day all the players get a challenge. The challenges are hilarious, and showcase each contestant's talents. From cake decorating to Chris not knowing who Kevin Jonas is, these challenges will always have you laughing

5. Joey and Shooby's Bromance

When you meet Joey, you would never guess that he would be friends with Shooby. Joey comes across as frat boy type, while Shooby seems much more nerdy. But their budding friendship and loyalty is something that makes you realize, opposites really do attract.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
