The Must-Watch Show To Netflix & Chill
google

Viewers loved it, rotten tomatoes rated it 96%, it is a GREAT show. If you are looking for a show that will play with your mind, and give you the chills, this is your show.

We all know that our future is going to be bright and full of advanced technology. But will that be a good thing? This show will put life and technology advancement into perspective AKA it will make you think so hard, your mind will explode. We all love our social media, but what if instead of on Instagram, you gave "likes" in real life? What is the amount of "likes" or "dislikes" you have is equal to what we called a FICO credit score today? What if you couldn't enter restaurants if you had a low rating? Or buy your own dream home? Weird right? Lets keep the "like" to Instagram and Facebook, please!

What if cyber bullying was taken to the next level, resulting in murder? What if we came up with alternative fuel and energy, but our lower income and poor class suffered to make it happen? What if we could make clones of ourselves, available for the elite class? But what if those clones had feelings? What if we were able to save our memories, but replay bad ones over and over again? What if we were able to block people IN REAL LIFE. What if we were so afraid of dying, we never did? What if we got sent to an artificial heaven, because we were afraid of there not being a real one? And what if virtual reality became so advanced, you couldn't escape?

Black Mirror, a sharp and suspenseful drama, with a satirical story and plot, that explores the future of our technological advances, and in a sense, our paranoia. The show taps into our very sense of unease, making us feel very uncomfortable about where our future is headed. Its a show that provides satirical stories that we've all thought in our head, but never thought to talk about. Most the episodes are very relate-able to technology advancement today. And other episodes are totally out of the ordinary, and absolutely insane. Each story has its own cast, and unique characters, so each episode doesn't follow off from where the other episode left off. Its a different story each time, which is what makes it so suspenseful and coming back for more!

Politics, technology, social media, emotions, social class, scandals, infidelities, life after death, you name it. This show talks about it ALL. Without spoiling it for you, all I can say is you won't be dissapointed, and you will be CRAVING more after the first 2 episodes. WARNING: The first episode is INSANE. Actually, every episode is insane!

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.

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.
