If you haven't heard of Buzzfeed Unsolved, I'm so sorry. Please get on youtube right now. It's free!

It's for those who are into murder, mystery and don't worry if horror freaks you out, it is paired with some hilarious millennial humor to get you through it without being scared (even if you aren't the type to get scared of creepy stuff, the humor makes it more interesting and fun). The series has a distinctive style that amounts a significant pool of audiences among college students.

The series has two angles to it: True Crime and Supernatural. True Crime discusses unsolved crime stories and serial killers, which we are all obsessed with, don't lie. Supernatural (unlike the television show which is equally awesome and not scary) about visits to various haunted or supernatural locations. The series is a mix of serious research and some witty banter.

1. Ryan Bergara.

Giphy

One of the co-hosts of the series, Ryan Bergara is hilarious, brave, intelligent, and most of all, relatable. He is the personification of every college student not wanting to do things but doing them anyway which in his case is going into haunted locations willingly. He is the believer part of the duo that leads Buzzfeed Unsolved with his impressive research and is a delight.

Yes, if it's not obvious already, I am a Boogara.

2. Shane Madej.

Giphy

The other co-host Shane Madej is equally delightful to observe and even more relatable. Being the skeptic of the duo, he is the one that keeps me (and Ryan) less terrified when they attempt to encounter spooky shit by never losing his calm. Not to mention, his sarcastic comments are the lifeline of the show.

I would be a Shaniac but I, like Ryan, am cursed to know the truth that exists out there.

3. The Hot Daga.

Giphy

A hot dog saga commissioned by Ryan Bergara, written by Shane Madej, and adored by every single viewer.

Gosh, it is amazing. I can't even begin to explain what it is. That's art right there (and I'm not even being sarcastic).

4. The plot.

Giphy

What sets BuzzFeed Unsolved apart is their 15-to-20-minute format, which is specifically modeled to approach younger people with a busy schedule and no time to watch an hour-long show with commercials. In 20 minutes, you know everything about the case of a haunted place or a serial killer and you have heard the theories and the banter that comes with it.

5. It's just creepy stuff with laughs.

Giphy

As I mentioned before, this show? Is all about your threshold for the thriller genre. The show interrupts itself with hilarious banter between Shane and Ryan, often typed and with laughter, making it entertaining to witness.

Unlike a lot of other shows that go along the same angle of crime and supernatural, Ryan and Shane make you laugh even when people are cutting off other people's heads. I mean, we aren't laughing at the gruesome acts, just the finer details of the story that makes you question the plausibility and practicality of it.

6. Did I mention the witty banter?

Giphy

The most relatable part of the show is the onscreen dynamic that reminds me of my close friendships. Shane and Ryan tease and provoke each other in every episode and it is just so much fun to watch with the bonus of getting educated about some cool theories of crimes and murders that have occurred.

7. For the unsolved part to become solved already.

Giphy

There's something about mysteries that captures our attention as human beings. We crave to know why things happened the way they did or how did they occur. Perhaps it's our curiosity in the unknown or our need to know everything or just a wild mixture of both.

The anticipation that you develop as you watch the series to make them figure something out with concrete evidence is like trying not to scratch an itch.

You want them to solve a mystery already, but deep down, you know that if that occurs, the series will never be the same.

I don't know why all of us are attracted to death, gore, and depressing situations. It probably says a lot about us as a generation.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
