9 Things Crime Show Lovers Know To Be True

I love watching crime shows and documentaries. They're pretty much all I ever watch. I'm obsessed! It's hard to find other people with that same passion because most people want to watch "happy" things. I don't go around asking people if they heard about specific cases, but when I find someone that loves watching the same shows as me, I know I want them in my life. People that watch crime shows have certain traits, and we have to stick together! If you love crime shows like this girl right here, you'll relate...

1. All you watch are crime shows and documentaries.

You definitely have Googled the best crime documentaries and shows to watch on Netflix, and you watched most of them multiple times. Your watch list is full of crime shows. What happens when you finish watching all of the Netflix ones? You go look some up on Youtube.

2. You're always prepared.

Whenever you go somewhere you let people know where you're going, that way your friends and family know what to tell police if you go missing.

3. You always see red flags.

From watching all of the crime shows and documentaries you know that some murderers are good at hiding their motives, whereas some aren't. You have the ability to see red flags everywhere. Is someone acting creepy? That's a red flag. You're walking somewhere at night, and your stomach suddenly feels strange? That's also a red flag. Having this capability is a gift!

4. You remember crime details more than your friends and family's birthday.

"Let me seduce you with my knowledge of serial killers." is one of my favorite quotes.

5. You think extremely dark tinted vehicles are bad.

Alright I get it, most people tint their windows because they want to keep the sun out. However, some people tint their windows to get away with crimes. Some tint is acceptable, but then there's some where it's SO dark and totally unnecessary. Whenever I see an all black car with extremely dark tinted windows, my mind starts to wonder.

6. You want to be on a jury.

It's like watching all of your favorite crime show live!

7. You know all the ways a person can die, and why. 

Every. Single. Way.

8. You have a lot of home security.

There's no such thing as too much home security. You've seen shows where people have gotten murdered in their own home, and since they didn't have surveillance cameras their murderer is still walking around, or it took forever for them to get caught. You don't want that to happen to you, so you learnt from their mistakes and have surveillance everywhere!

9. You understand the justice system better than anyone of your friends or family. 

You're basically a lawyer!

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."

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.
