Why We're Full Of Love For "Fuller House"

Our houses may have been full before, but now our hearts are fuller.

We're all gearing up for the premiere of the Netflix Original Series "Fuller House."

Set to be released on February 26, the "Full House" spin-off/sequel features the majority of its beloved original characters: Danny Tanner (Bob Saget), Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos), Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier), DJ Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure), Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin), Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber), Becky Katsopolis (Lori Loughlin), and Nicky and Alex Katsopolis (Blake and Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit).

Unfortunately, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen -- who played Michelle Tanner -- won't be returning, but I'm positive the series will have several references to the adored youngest Tanner.

The series is going to revolve around the character of DJ Tanner-Fuller who is recently widowed and needs help raising her three sons, so she looks to her best friend Kimmy and sister Stephanie.

Sound familiar?

To refresh your memory, the premise of "Full House" was a recently widowed Danny Tanner who needed help raising his three daughters and turned to his best friend Joey and brother-in-law Jesse.

Well-played, Netflix. Well-played.

Whether you see this as a brilliant flashback or completely cheesy (or both), most of us simply can't deny our excitement for this series.

We may have grown up a lot since the 1990s, but let's be honest: the beloved decade still runs through our blood. We loved watching the Tanner family on those hefty old television sets; we sympathized with their personal struggles (even if we were too young to fully understand them) and were overjoyed to see each struggle resolved by the end of every episode. The Tanners became part of our own families; we watched them each grow up season by season while we ourselves were growing up.

"Fuller House" is our ultimate throwback. It's the chance for us 90s babies to revisit the home and family we grew to know and love for years. And, not to mention, seeing the family "all grown-up" strikes a chord in our hearts not only because of the nostalgia it brings from its "Full House" counterpart, but also because we, as adults and soon-to-be full-time working individuals in the society with families of our own, are beginning to relate on several levels.

The reality of families growing up and moving away from one another, the kids getting married and having children of their own, and everyone beginning separate lives is becoming something we all soon -- if we haven't already -- will face. While this is exciting, it's also terrifying for many of us.

Maybe watching the Tanner family do it, successfully as they always have, will make it easier.

Despite all of that and most importantly, "Fuller House" is our reminder that family is always there at the end of the day. No matter how much growing up we do, our houses will always remain full, and there will always be room for more.


Check out the Netflix original series "Fuller House" on February 26!

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.
