Let me be frank: Santa Clarita Diet is wild. It is not for the weak stomachs or the faint at hearts. Sure, it only has one season consisting of ten episodes, but just in those ten, you get the feel of a comedy, slasher, and drama all in one. From viral zombies to vomiting red balls to [tiny] balls to motorcycles to tear gas to farting sex tourists to hinted homosexuality, SCD has it all! The only problems are its multiple gore scenes and occasional f-bombs, followed by g-d and sh*t. It has since been renewed for a second season that will premiere in 2018. Let's talk about season one:

1. Drew Barrymore's virus

Drew Barrymore plays Sheila, a realtor wife and mom who unknowingly gets a virus and becomes a zombie. After eating the flesh of humans, she can't eat anything else.

2. Joel's undying love for his wife

He will do anything for her, as a marriage should be. But this marriage is only slightly different than your average mortal sanctity.

3. Ramona the Rite Aid girl

When everyone is shopping and her manager tells her to go see if they need help, she does so. Although the other characters talk to her about their problems and she gives them less-than-thought-about answers, she is deemed a wise girl beyond her years.

4. Abby discovering her inner animal

Ditching school, cursing like a sailor, and sort of helping her parents out with her mom's human cravings, Abby is a must-need on SCD.

5. The homoerotic scenes between Lisa and Anne

Lisa being the wife of dead Dan and Anne being his co-worker, they cozy up more times than one!

6. Eric being pulled into the drama

He was the one Abby went to with her problems, and he reluctantly joined in all the family fun. From not telling anyone who Dan's real killers were to helping Joel find a cure for Sheila's virus.

7. Sheila eating most of the rude people

She ate Gary, the guy who was always hitting on her when she repeatedly told him she was married, ate the guy Joel accidentally rear-ended when he was having a fit, and ate Dan except for the top half of his body.

8. The fight scenes between Joel, Sheila, and Loki

The first time-unsuccessful. Second-Loki dies, which is a success on their part.

9. The Serbian grandma

The only one who knew about the virus infecting Sheila, and who cracked the code of the Serbian labels on the photos Joel bought to see if it was connected to her virus.

Need I say more? Santa Clarita Diet should be your next binge show if you want to cry out of laughter, be shook out of your mind, and keep wondering what's going to happen in season 2! Happy Netflix-ing later.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

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. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. 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.
