The best part of Freaks and Geeks

 From 2015-2018 my Netflix recommended queue had a resident nuisance. I would scroll searching for my newest television endeavor, rolling my eyes whenever my finger absentmindedly tapped on the program entitled  Freaks and Geeks . From the outside the show looked like something that I would adore. It had gritty looking 20 year olds playing teenagers and plot points that dove into situations that I had no reason to relate to and no ability to truly comprehend.

But I'm a big believer in the whole "practice makes perfect" thing so I think that by hurling 26 balls in the air a few of them are bound to make it in the net. We shall see we shall see. Today, I offer you thirty-one statements.  Mint chocolate chip ice-cream is crappy.  Knowing how to jump rope is not an essential skill.  I am obsessed with the idea of doing karaoke but I probably would be too chicken to step up to them mic.  People always give me planners for my birthday because I’m “organized” but they end up just sitting in my closet so maybe I’m just wasteful.  Standup comedy is one of the best forms of storytelling---when done well.  My favorite characters from HBO’s Girls are all of the boys and
