Quarantine TV Show Recommendations by Sam Stankiewicz

Here is a list of my favorite TV shows, what they are about, and why they are so entertaining to watch!

1. NCIS
NCIS (season 8) - Wikipedia
NCIS (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) is a show about special agents that solve criminal cases associated with the Navy. On Netflix, it offers 15 seasons that are action-packed, and each episode will have you on the edge of your seat predicting who the killer is. The show is written so so well, as there are many twists and turns in the plot. Even if you don't like the murder aspect, there is always a love story in the background. I completely recommend this show and give it a 10/10! (I have watched it 3 times over on Netflix)

2. Friends
Friends' Cast to Reunite for Exclusive HBO Max Special – Variety
A classic. If you aren't familiar with FRIENDS, this show is about six friends and how they live and love each other like family! It is such a sweet show with added comedy, and each episode is great to watch if you need to get in a better mood. Their personalities are so different, but this show illustrates how anyone can be friends! I give this show a 9/10...only because I wanted Joey and Phoebe to eventually get together. 

3. The Golden Girls
Benefits of Living With Your Friends in Retirement










Yes, at fifteen years old I absolutely love a show about older women that was released in the 80's. The Golden Girls is a sitcom about these four different women (above) and how they live together. One is all about the men, one is sarcastic and a traditional Italian grandma, another is her daughter who is a substitute teacher, and finally, one who was raised on a farm and isn't the brightest. This show is hysterical. It never fails to make me laugh every five seconds with sarcasm or just a great joke. There is a reason why it is still on TV today! It's a 10/10 for me. 


4. You
You Review | TV Show - Empire
I also happen to like stalker and obsessive shows for some reason! This show is about a man named Joe Goldberg, and his terrible experiences with women...I mean the man is so bad with women. In season 1, he finds a girl named Beck and follows her everywhere, but on the surface is a normal guy. Some things happen, and by season 2 he changed his name to Will Bettelheim and started to fall in love with another woman. By watching this show you get to witness Joe's obsessive nature and need to fall in love...Eat. Sleep. Stalk. Repeat. This is how I think of Joe, but somehow he makes the show intriguing. This show is a 9.5/10 for me only because they need to come out with a season 3 quicker...I watched season 2 in two days. 

5. Glee
Glee' Cast Reunion Streaming: How to Watch the 'Stars in the House ...
Glee isn't just for theater kids, so don't turn this show away for that. It's definitely not a favorite, but I do recommend this show because it is funny and I personally love singing along to the songs they sing every episode. Throughout the seasons you see each cast member grow up through high school, sing, and perform. You will find yourself pairing glee members together to make a power couple, and there are so many complicated relationships in this show. Although, I give it a 7/10, because after season 3 ended the original glee club members graduated, and a new set of people were introduced. I did not really like the new members, and the show wasn't as entertaining after the originals left. But, it is still a good show to invest your time in. 

All of these TV shows are extremely different, but fun to watch! Especially in quarantine, there is really nothing else to do besides work and sleep...so why not give one of these a try?!

Ancient Greek Heroes VS. Modern Day Heroes

-
Image
Heroes in Greek/Anglo-Saxon (I am grouping the types of historical literature we have read) writing are very obvious and much of ancient Greek literature involves a central hero or a supernatural story. In modern day English, however, the plots are less often mythical and more realistic. Since each person has a different definition for heroism, modern day heroism literature can be more varied. Ancient Greek writing is very often far-fetched, however. There are many similarities and differences between the two types of writing, but first I will run through the most significant differences. In Greek mythology, heroes were often religious figures, like demigods, while modern day writing focuses more on ordinary people. This could be because authors nowadays want the readers to be able to relate with the heroes in their stories. Greek writing had heroes that had the power to protect or destroy the people depending on prevailing circumstances. In contrast, modern day heroes are acknowledg...

My Brother by Elizabeth Hailey DeGasperis

          When I contemplate what is most important in my life, my mind is drawn to my 21-year-old brother, Tom. There are not enough words in the English language I could use to describe what he means to me. I cannot imagine the past fifteen years of my life without him. Allow me to start from the beginning.           Even when I was an infant, he never failed to take me out of my crib, strap me in my high chair, and cook scrambled eggs for us (at the tender age of six). He did this so my mother could catch up on sleep in the mornings and take care of me however he could. I only wish I could return the favour in some way. Though we have always been tight, we used to fight frequently as all siblings do. As immature children, we viewed every ordeal as monumental. The apocalypse would occur if either of us decided to give the other access to the TV remote or the pogo sticks for five minutes. However, we would always make-up in the end and...

Not Fate, Just a Coincidence - Sila Paniker

-
Image
The idea of fate confuses me. I don't really understand how something will happen no matter what you do. It just seems very unlikely. I think we're constantly making choices that lead to occurrences. We make so many decisions a day that it seems impossible that fate can find a way around it all.  Awhile ago, I saw something called the Butterfly Effect, which doesn't exactly relate to fate but it makes sense to me. The idea is that a butterfly flapping its wings can cause a tornado on the other side of the world. Essentially, small changes can have large impacts. In my head, this connects with the thousands of tiny decisions we subconsciously make each day. There are people I've met or things that have happened and it feels like it was meant to be but they're just a bunch of coincidences that had the ability to change everything. Thinking about it, there are reasons that can explain everything. For example, I met one of my closest friends a few years ago a...
