The Netflix Show Everyone's Talking About: 'You'

It's basically just Dan Humphrey with a knife.

If you haven't watched "You" on Netflix yet, you definitely should. Based in New York City the show circulates around Joe, a bookstore manager, who becomes obsessed with a young woman named Guinevere Beck. It revolves around his stalking ways into her life from stealing her phone to following her when she leaves the house. Beck has people in her life that Joe is jealous of and that he feels like are messing up her life. The show has been set for another season in the next year, which will feature a few new characters.

Another thing that I found interesting was that there are five facts that most people probably didn't know about the show. I always like looking up things like this because they're always pretty interesting and sometimes answer questions you didn't know you had.

Beware a few spoilers ahead!

Penn Badgley didn't want to play Joe at first because the show is framed as a love story, which he found conflicting.

The bookstore in the show is actually a real bookstore in New York called Logos Bookstore.

Candace wasn't always supposed to come back at the end.

Peach Salinger got her name because author Caroline Kepnes thought it was "annoying." 

Kepnes said in an interview, "I also thought peaches were perfect because they're ripe and delicious, and then they're spoiled, poison, they attract flies, they can make you sick," she added.

Kepnes came up with the character Joe while in a coffee shop.​

I'm so excited for the next season and to see how they continue with Joe's character without him getting caught. Hopefully, girls will stop tweeting Penn Badgley asking him to kidnap them in the meantime.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
