It’s been a long day at school and all I want to do is relax. Right away when I hop off the bus, I know what I want to do. I run in, turn on my TV and open Netflix, I grow more and more anxious as the app loads, just wanting to get on my account. Finally, I get my account and swiftly swipe to my favorite show ever. Stranger Things. I smile to myself thinking of how many times I have watched it but still invest myself again and again.

      My passion with Stranger Things started in 7^th grade when I finally decided to watch it. I wasn’t a fan when the show first came out in 2017 or even when season 2 came out in 2018. My older brother Grant was a fan of the show and was explaining the plot to me and my mom and I remember thinking it sounded weird and stupid. After a few weeks had passed, I was bored out of my mind and just wanted something to watch so I decided to watch Stranger Things. Honestly, I expected to get bored by the end of episode and switch shows. Time seemed like it had stopped, and I was at the end of the last episode of season 1, I looked around and noticed it was dark out, it had been 8 hours. My jaw dropped immediately, and I couldn’t believe how I was so invested in the plot. I then remembered the second season was just waiting to be watched to, so I started right in. In season 2 I grew a huge crush on the boy who played mike wheeler, Finn Wolfhard which was another reason I became obsessed with the show. After I had finished season 2, I moved to another show, I slowly forgot about Stranger Things and by the time I remembered the show existed there was 3 months until season 3 was released. I then quickly began to watch the trailers and theory’s and catching up on all the news that I had missed out on. Right then and there, I noticed how obsessed I was with the show, and was super happy to be back to my old obsession.

        Stranger Things is my passion because it is such a confusing and crazy show. I really like how the plot plays out and how the characters bond. The show also displays normal teenager events and fights, along with the sci-fi type of tone. The show also has a great cast of amazing actors, that create another reason I want to watch it. My brothers also enjoy the show, it makes it more fun to watch the show when their around, it just makes it more fun because I can listen to listen to their snarky comments. I also have crushes on some of the kid cast members which gives me more of a reason to watch it over and over. I also love how the shows lighting works to give it more of an ominous mood that gets you more into the creepy scared feeling they are giving you.

          I believe that my passion is something I will keep forever.  will be something I will enjoy enough to remember and keep watching until I grow up, and even tell my future children about.
